Google breakup should ‘be on the table’ says Sen. Klobuchar, who is a possible Biden pick for attorney general

Facebook would make more sense – Google is successful and leader because it gives best service. Microsoft and Apple are more controlling than Google. If people don’t like Google search, there are many good alternatives. Klobuchar praised the Justice Department for leaving open the option of so-called structural remedies in its recent antitrust lawsuit against Google.

US COVID-19 levels shatter more records | CIDRAP

US markers rise sharply

The nation reported another single-day high yesterday, piling up 144,133 new cases, along with 1,893 new deaths, according to the Johns Hopkins online dashboard.

In its weekly analysis of US COVID-19 trends, the COVID Tracking Project said today cases rose sharply last week, up 40%, with testing rising by 13%. Hospitalizations rose in all but four states, with the steepest increases in the Midwest, which are now at levels exceeding what Southern states experienced during the summer surge.

Deaths increased by nearly 23% from the previous week, the group said.

Pandemic preparedness experts told Wall Street Journal that hospitals are even more stretched than they were during the spring and summer, with cases more geographically widespread and reaching more remote regions. They also said hospitals don’t have enough healthcare workers to provide proper care.

80 percent of those who died of Covid-19 in Texas county jails were never convicted of a crime – Vox

Over 230 people have died from Covid-19 in Texas’s correctional facilities — and in county jails, nearly 80 percent of them were in pretrial detention and hadn’t even been convicted of a crime, according to a new report.

A team of researchers at the University of Austin at Texas reviewed data from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ), which has reported that at least 231 people have died of Covid-19 in the state’s correctional facilities between March and October. This report only looked at state-operated prisons and county-operated jails, as researchers were focused on how Texas’s Covid-19 prison policies had fared.

Powerless in the South Caucasus – GERMAN-FOREIGN-POLICY.com – (Trump loser)

Foreign policy experts consider the ceasefire in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict to be a success for Russia and a strategic defeat for the West. The mediation of a cease-fire was a “spectacular diplomatic move” by Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to the Carnegie Moscow Center. “The West” has “once again yielded the floor to Putin,” criticizes the government-financed Deutsche Welle. In fact, Moscow has once again successfully ended an armed conflict in close cooperation with Ankara – like previously, for example, in Syria.

Coronavirus: Health departments to receive $200K each as state reports 7,101 daily cases

Ohio reported more than 7,100 daily cases of coronavirus, smashing the previous record of 6,508 set earlier this week.

I’m struggling… – The poor side of life

Dear readers this week’s blog is going to be rather short and I apologize for this. The other week my daughter brought a virus home from school.

This week saw the death total for UK hit 50 thousand. Yes these people died from Covid 19 related illnesses but people still insult the dead and their families by saying that its all a lie. It isn’t a lie, people are dying and they need to take this seriously. I’m sorry for repeating myself again but people do need to hear this. It’s extremely important. As for me, I’ve not been able to go out anywhere except for my local post office which isn’t far. I struggle walking there and back, breathing isn’t easy when your mobile but it is what it is. I wear a mask whenever I do go to the post office and I’m very strict about using anti bacterial hand creams etc. I stay away from any crowds of people because I realize the risk of catching something else. I’m not contagious anymore but so many people are vulnerable and we all need to look after each other. What I do want is a proper lockdown with the full support of the government for workers and self employed people.
