* Iran has the dubious distinction of being the country with the highest number of government officials infected by the coronavirus. That includes Vice President Masoumeh Ebtekar. The reason: China, which has close–sanction-skirting–economic relations with the Tehran government.

* The Olympics are scheduled to open July 24 in Tokyo–although postponement or cancellation remain distinct possibilities. The last Olympic cancellation was during World War II.

* We know that British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is “BoJo.” Now we have “ScoMo,” the prime minister of Australia, AKA Scott Morrison. Thanks again, J.Lo.
