It's been over a month since COVID-19 was declared a pandemic. Governments and institutions are struggling with the response. In many places, the contagion is being felt unequally, whereas, in others, people have stepped up. This week, we take you to Romania, a country where the system struggled but people responded by providing alternatives in times of desperate need. Also, we turn our attention to the oil market, as crude prices went into negative territory for the first time in history. We analyse why, and its impact on you. Finally, we travel to Ghana, a country where a new generation of men is changing the way things are by battling patriarchy and its idea of what masculinity is by discussing mental health.     Why did US oil prices crash? And how will it affect you?   US crude prices turned negative for the first in history this week. Here's why and what it could mean to you.       Saudi Arabia is preparing to end the war in Yemen   The coronavirus outbreak may give Riyadh a convenient excuse to exit the Yemeni conflict.         Where the Romanian state struggled, Romanian people stepped up   Small-scale artisan creators have reoriented their workshops to make and distribute potentially life-saving equipment.     Racism: the most dangerous pre-existing condition     Black Americans are dying disproportionately from COVID-19, and there is a reason for it.         Lyme disease: The other epidemic nobody is talking about   How a family's experience confronting a tick-borne illness rhymes with the current coronavirus crisis.     Beyond the language of denial: Men talk mental health in Ghana   In a hypermasculine society where mental illness is often stigmatised a new generation of men is speaking out.       Worried about coronavirus (COVID-19)?
