Sunday was Easter, the most important holy day on the Christian calendar. And while people couldn't attend services in person, many of them watched Pope Francis's rituals in the Vatican online and on TV. Other churches held drive-throughs, and some even said they would hold services, sparking political controversy. The development of coronavirus vaccines has been discussed a lot lately. But there is now a new test - the antibody test. Rather than seeing if you have the virus, this tests whether you've had it. Because if you have, then you can now rest easy knowing that you have antibodies and are safe from reinfection for a while. Have you ever heard about the ravens of the Tower of London? There are many legends as their origins, the most famous being a superstition that England would fall apart if they left. So, they have a raven master - who may well be the only one on the planet. Hear his story as part of the CNN 10 virtual tours.
A massive storm system has hit the US mid-Atlantic. It's also causing tornados, and heavy winds and rain. On Monday, 39 million people in as many as 11 states faced a potential disaster. But this isn't the only disaster. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, state officials are trying to balance storm safety with disease prevention. They have asked hotels to provide for those who have become homeless. If you are in the path of the storm, then watch the video for tips on safety. Another problem at the forefront - education. With schools around the country closed for the month and even through the school year, there are concerns over grades, standardized testing, and most important - the learning environment. Some children don't have Internet access, and for those who do, virtual learning isn't the same as in-class learning. So, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos has nullified testing requirements and many schools have switched to credit no-credit grading. To end on a funny note, have you ever seen a zonkey? It's a cross between a donkey and a zebra, and, believe it or not, it is a rare breed of animal born recently at a wildlife center.

The first city to have COVID-19 cases, Wuhan, China, lifted its lockdown last week. Other nations are looking at their timeline to see when their cities might reopen, but many nations are still being cautious. Meanwhile, libraries might be closed, but they are still helping out. Libraries with devices like 3D printers are making protective equipment for healthcare workers. They are also offering e-books and other services online. The pandemic is also destroying the U.S. economy. Today, we take a look at J.C. Penny, a store that survived the Great Depression and Recession, but may not survive the coronavirus. It was first opened by J.C. Penny as The Golden Rule, which was used in its treatment of customers and staff. It was later rebranded as J.C. Penny and was famous for its sales and low prices. But lately, it has been struggling, and all attempts at restoring its former dominance have been ineffective. Have you ever wanted to visit the Louvre? You can't visit now, but we take you there by video to show you its amazing-ness.

The U.S. industrial production rate is tanking. It dropped 5.4% in March, the highest rate since factories stopped production after World War II. With nearly a fourth of COVID-19 cases in the U.S., no one knows how long it will take for the economy to bounce back. But what we do know is that this is an election year. We head to South Korea to see what it might look like. People wearing masks and social distancing while in line. Then, to enter, a temperature scan, sanitization, and disposable gloves. This is what the 2020 election cycle may look like. Have you ever wondered what being a fighter pilot would be like? In World War I, planes had just been developed for use in warfare, and pilots often went into battle with little or no experience, many of them dying. They shot rifles or grenades at each other while flying, leading to dogfights. Today, you can still see some of these planes in action at a historical restoration site.

Researchers are looking into a new origin for the COVID-19 pandemic. They say it may have leaked out from a Chinese lab in Wuhan, not a seafood market. They don't believe it was developed as a bioweapon, and the Chinese deny it. The pandemic has had a massive effect on students nationwide, especially seniors. They say it has changed their plans of the future, how they learn, and what they do. Want to get out of here when this is over? Well, a company called World View is designing a balloon that can take people to the edge of space to admire the Earth. It consists of a capsule and a massive balloon the size of a football field to take you up, and the largest parafoil ever to bring you back down. Plus, a Philadelphia woman recently found a woodchuck outside her window eating pizza! Would it chuck the pizza? Nope!
