People in five countries, including the United States, name the spread of disease as the foremost threat as the coronavirus pandemic continues. People in two countries, Australia and Denmark, name cyberattacks.

Few Americans are confident in tech companies to prevent misuse of their platforms in the 2020 election
Three-quarters of U.S. adults say technology companies have a responsibility to prevent the misuse of their platforms to influence the presidential election, but only around a quarter say they are very or somewhat confident in these firms to do so. Since January, the share of Republicans who say tech companies are responsible for preventing misuse of their platforms has declined, while the share of Democrats saying this has grown.

59% of U.S. parents with lower incomes say their child may face digital obstacles in schoolwork
A new analysis of data collected in early April finds that many parents with lower incomes who had children in schools that were teaching remotely at the time said their children would likely face digital obstacles in completing their schoolwork. These obstacles included having to do schoolwork on a cellphone, having to use public Wi-Fi and not being able to complete work due to not having access to a computer at home.

U.S. teens take after their parents religiously, attend services together and enjoy family rituals
When it comes to religion, American teenagers and their parents tend to have a lot in common – though not quite as much as the parents may think. Most U.S. teens share the religious affiliation of their parents or legal guardians and attend services about as often as their parents do. When there are differences between kids and their parents, however, it’s usually the teens who are less religious.

What I've been watching
Over the past week, I have watched the six-part HBO miniseries The Plot Against America, which came out in March. It is based on the 2004 Philip Roth novel of the same title and tells an alternative history in which FDR is defeated in 1940 by the fascist-sympathizing Charles Lindbergh through the eyes of a Jewish family living in Newark, NJ. Compelling story, well acted. It is the best piece of television I have seen in years.
