Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer announced another coronavirus lockdown on Sunday night, issuing a string of directives related to businesses and activities.
Despite a long list of mask mandates, social distancing orders, and others relating to curtailing the spread of the virus dating back months, Whitmer doubled down as cases are on the rise.
The Detroit News reported:
The new policies will temporarily halt in-person instruction at high schools and colleges, dine-in service at restaurants and bars, and high school athletics as well as close some businesses, including movie theaters, bowling alleys and casinos. The restrictions, imposed through a Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) order, will take effect Wednesday, will be in place for three weeks and will end Dec. 8. Under the order, indoor residential gatherings will be limited to two households at any one time.

Whitmer is shuttering in-person learning for high schoolers, arguing that population has the most contact with their peers. Amateur organized sports, including the current high school playoff seasons, are also “paused.”
Indoor dining at restaurants and bars is also banned in the new order. As are theaters, movie theaters, stadiums, arenas, bowling centers, ice skating rinks, indoor water parks, bingo halls, casinos, and arcades. Group fitness classes were also nixed.

For a very short time, I was in touch with a brilliant man from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. He was the:
Director of Research at CERTH • Professor of Bioinformatics

I think he assumed I was just an uninformed little mother with no brains. In truth, I did not know what CERTH was or even what the field of phylogenomics is. I learn on the fly. {I am, after-all, a genius.}
After pointing me in the direction of a few of his lesser papers [and expressing his concern that I would probably never be able to understand the second], My excitement over the second was obvious, and I maybe heard from him once or twice once again.
Silence speaks volumes more than words, so I poked around a bit. What I learned following my contact with that man is…

It is time for everyone to come out of this negative trance, this collective hysteria, because famine, poverty, massive unemployment will kill, mow down many more people than SARS-CoV-2!
By Dr. Pascal Sacré
Global Research, November 15, 2020Global Research 5 November 2020
Introduction: using a technique to lock down society
All current propaganda on the COVID-19 pandemic is based on an assumption that is considered obvious, true and no longer questioned:
Positive RT-PCR test means being sick with COVID. This assumption is misleading.
Very few people, including doctors, understand how a PCR test works.
RT-PCR meansRealTime-PolymeraseChainReaction.
In French, it means:Réaction de Polymérisation en Chaîne en Temps Réel.
In medicine, we use this tool mainly to diagnose a viral infection.
Starting from a clinical situation with the presence or absence of particular symptoms in a patient, we consider different…

The American people remain eager to be persuaded that a new president in the White House can solve the problems that plague us.
Yet no matter who wins this presidential election, you can rest assured that the new boss will be the same as the old boss, and we—the permanent underclass in America—will continue to be forced to march in lockstep with the police state in all matters, public and private.

Switzerland is currently grappling with the second wave of the coronavirus and has one of the worst surges in Europe.
The pandemic has also thrown into question if it is safe to partake in the country’s national dish: fondue.
The beloved custom involves diners dipping pieces of bread on long forks into a communal pot of hot cheese and wine.
The issue being put forward is that social distancing cannot be observed when several friends or relatives are eating from the same pan or “caquelon”.
And people are understandably wary of dipping their food into a communal pot when the World Health Organisation (WHO) says the coronavirus can spread through small liquid particles from a person’s mouth or nose.
But some online are arguing that a fondue among friends is still possible, depending on the technique employed.
One user suggested each guest using two forks and a knife, which are strictly not to be swapped around, one long fork to dip into the fondue, the knife to get the bread off, and the second fork to eat it.
Another had a more far-fetched idea to respect social distancing: “Eat your fondue with a fishing rod,” they wrote.
Switzerland Cheese Marketing, industry body for Swiss cheese, has insisted that looked into the issue and “the risk of contracting COVID-19 while enjoying a fondue with other diners is negligible.”
Health experts have even weighed in on the matter with Didier Pittet, head of the infection prevention and control service at Geneva University, saying: “A risk associated with fondue? Certainly not.”
Professor Christian Ruef, a Zurich-based infectious disease specialist, reassured cheese-lovers that the risk of catching the virus did not come from the caquelon itself: “In the fondue pot, the cheese reaches a sufficient temperature to kill any virus.”
But he cautioned: “The problem arises if you are seated together in a small space for an evening, and are talking loudly, laughing or even singing,” he said.

NASA turned to private companies to haul cargo and crew to the space station after the shuttle fleet retired in 2011. SpaceX qualified for both. With Kennedy back in astronaut-launching action, NASA can stop buying seats on Russian Soyuz rockets. The last one cost $90 million.

Health authorities have said that there are enough ventilators to cope with the second wave but not enough medics to operate them.
Carlo Palermo, national leader of the doctors union Anaao Assomed, outlines the issue.
“The problem we are facing is that only specialists can work inside intensive care units. That includes both specialised doctors and nurses. Figures are not encouraging though, we need 2,000 doctors who can operate breathing machines.”
The government has planned to increase the number of ICU beds from the existing 5200 to a total of around 11,000.
Palermo said this “would mean adding more beds where there is already a lack of medical staff which means lowering the level of safety and quality of the treatments.”
Hiring trainee doctors who have not yet finished their studies has proved to be one solution.
Regions in Italy can make their own decisions when it comes to public health. In areas in the north of the country, such as Piemonte and Lombardy, local authorities have turned to NGOs for help asking them to send doctors from around the world.
The Association of Foreign Doctors living in Italy is a group that represents a total of 77,500 professionals including nurses. Full citizenship would normally be required in order to be hired, although given the emergency a recent decree has allowed their applications. However, only a few staff have been taken on this way.
The association has made an appeal to the government demanding that the legislation be applied nationwide.
Accounting for only 8% of the country’s GDP, Italy’s overall investment in the health sector is below the average of other European countries, such as Germany and France. A long-standing issue that is now hindering the fight against COVID–19.

For thousands of years, the many herbs and spices of the Far East have brought an aromatic and flavorful punch to Indian cuisine. In more recent years however, science has proven that these spices also possess a host of medicinal qualities.
One particular spice blend sits on the shelves of many kitchens across South Asia, revered for its slight sweet and savory character, as well as its abundance of health benefits…
I’m talking about garam masala.
At my house, garam masala is our go-to when we want to add an Indian dimension to our dishes. It’s a blend of spices that adds incredible depth and complexity to food.
In Hindi, garam means hot, and masala means spices. This warm and pungent spice blend originated in the north of India, helping to warm bellies and lift moods during chilly winters.
Its popularity quickly saw it become a staple throughout the country, with different regions adapting it to suit their unique culinary character. In the north, it tends to be sweet and pungent, while in the far reaches of the south, hot red chilies are incorporated into the blend.
Unsurprisingly, garam masala packs a healing punch too.
Several of the diverse spices present in the mix, like cinnamon and black pepper, support a healthy immune system. With winter on the horizon, this powerhouse blend can help keep colds, flu, and other bugs at bay. Garam masala is also chock-full of antioxidants, which further boosts immunity, and can reduce inflammation.
According to Ayurvedic medicine, the spices in garam masala are warming, increasing the metabolism and aiding digestion. Cloves and cumin keep indigestion at bay and prevent acid build-up in the gut, while black pepper is a natural metabolism booster.
Preparing your own homemade garam masala blend allows you to capture the perfect balance of all the flavors present. You can tweak the levels of warmth, sweetness, heat and spiciness to suit your own taste buds.
Here’s an easy recipe to try at home!
Garam Masala Spice Blend
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1?½ teaspoons ground coriander
1?½ teaspoons ground cardamom
1?½ teaspoons ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground cloves
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions:
Mix cumin, coriander, cardamom, pepper, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg in a bowl. Transfer the mixture to an airtight container, and store in a cool, dry place.
*Note: For a more pungent and flavorful blend, you can dry roast the cumin, coriander, cardamom and black peppercorns, then grind them in a coffee or spice grinder.
Garam masala is unbelievably versatile — add a dash to soups, curries, stews, dahls, and legume or vegetable-based dishes. If you’re a spice fiend like me, you can even experiment with adding it to stir fries. It goes great in homemade samosas too!
As we move deeper into fall, I find myself craving spicier, more robust meals, and garam masala packs a punchy flavor hit every time.
Give it a try and let us know what you think!
Stay curious,

Target has re-opened its looted Minneapolis store that was completely ransacked during the George Floyd riots over 5 months ago with the goal of catering more to black shoppers and being less “racist.”
Yes, really.
According to a Bloomberg report, there is now a new “mural” at the entrance of the store and it has been completely remodeled by a contracting company owned by a Somali-American woman in order to make it more welcoming for black people.
The store will also stock more products made by black-owned brands.
In August, Target’s new “racial justice committee” outlined the goal of responding to its stores being looted (predominantly by black criminals), by tackling its reputation of appealing primarily to white shoppers.
One of those committee members, Stephanie Creary, assistant professor of management at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School, said Target’s mission was to “reduce the impact of racism that is created from its operations.”
Chief external engagement officer Laysha Ward said the new ethos would be implemented across the country in the construction of new Target stores and the remodeling of existing ones.
“We’re really thinking about this relevant experience that is overtly Black and reflecting overtly Black needs and culture,” said Ward.
According to the report, white residents in the local area previously avoided using the store, preferring instead to drive to another branch further away, and referred to it as “Tar-ghetto.”
Crucially, the store has also added shutters in case of “emergencies,” meaning in case the local diverse community decides to loot it again.

Lucian on Mourning

THE behaviour of the average man in a time of bereavement , his own language and the remarks offered him by way of consolation , are things that will reward the attention of a curious observer .
The mourner takes it for granted that a terrible blow has fallen both upon himself and upon the object of his lamentations : yet for all he knows to the contrary ( and here I appeal to Pluto and Persephone ) the departed one , so far from being entitled to commiseration , may find himself in improved circumstances .
The feelings of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ solely by custom and convention .
The procedure in such cases–but no : let me first state the popular beliefs on the subject of death itself ; we shall then understand the motives for the elaborate ceremonial with which it is attended .
The vulgar ( as philosophers call the generality of mankind ) , implicitly taking as their text-book the fictions of Homer and Hesiod and other poets , assume the existence of a deep subterranean hole called Hades ; spacious , murky , and sunless , but by some mysterious means @ @ @ @ @ @ @ visible .
Its king is a brother of Zeus , one Pluto ; whose name–so an able philologer assures me–contains a complimentary allusion to his ghostly wealth .
As to the nature of his government , and the condition of his subjects , the authority allotted to him extends over all the dead , who , from the moment that they come under his control , are kept in unbreakable fetters ; Shades are on no account permitted to return to Earth ; to this rule there have been only two or three @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and these were made for very urgent reasons .
His realm is encompassed by vast rivers , whose very names inspire awe : Cocytus , Pyriphlegethon , and the like .
Most formidable of all , and first to arrest the progress of the new-comer , is Acheron , that lake which none may pass save by the ferryman ’ s boat ; it is too deep to be waded , too broad for the swimmer , and even defies the flight of birds deceased .
At the very beginning of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ here Aeacus , a nephew of the king , stands on guard .
By his side is a three-headed dog , a grim brute ; to new arrivals , however , he is friendly enough , reserving his bark , and the yawning horror of his jaws , for the would-be runaway .
On the inner shore of the lake is a meadow , wherein grows asphodel ; here , too , is the fountain that makes war on memory , and is hence called Lethe .
All these particulars the ancients would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and her fellow-countryman Protesilaus , from Theseus the son of Aegeus , and from the hero of the Odyssey .
These witnesses ( whose evidence is entitled to our most respectful acceptance ) did not , as I gather , drink of the waters of Lethe ; because then they would not have remembered .
According to them , the supreme power is entirely in the hands of Pluto and Persephone , who , however , are assisted in the labours of government by a host of underlings : such are the Furies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ such too is Hermes , though he is not always in attendance .
Judicial powers are vested in two satraps or viceroys , Minos and Rhadamanthus , both Cretans , and both sons of Zeus .
By them all good and just men who have followed the precepts of virtue are sent off in large detachments to form colonies , as it were , in the Elysian Plain , and there to lead the perfect life .
Evil-doers , on thecontrary , are handed over to the Furies , who conduct them to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they are punished in due proportion to their iniquities .
What a variety of torments is there presented !
The rack , the fire , the gnawing vulture ; here Ixion spins upon his wheel , there Sisyphus rolls his stone .
I have not forgotten Tantalus ; but he stands elsewhere , stands parched on the Lake ’ s very brink , like to die of thirst , poor wretch !
Then there is the numerous class of neutral characters ; these wander about the meadow ; formless phantoms , that evade @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that they depend for their nourishment upon the libations and victims offered by us upon their tombs ; accordingly , a Shade who has no surviving friends or relations passes a hungry time of it in the lower world .
So profoundly have the common people been impressed with these doctrines that , when a man dies , the first act of his relations is to put a penny into his mouth , that he may have wherewithal to pay the ferryman : they do not stop to inquire what is the local @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Aeginetan ; nor does it occur to them how much better it would be for the departed one if the fare were not forthcoming , –because then the ferryman would decline to take him , and he would be sent back into the living world .
Lest the Stygian Lake should prove inadequate to the requirements of ghostly toilets , the corpse is next washed , anointed with the choicest unguents to arrest the progress of decay , crowned with fresh flowers , and laid out in sumptuous raiment ; an obvious precaution @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do for the deceased to take a chill on the journey , nor to exhibit himself to Cerberus with nothing on .
Lamentation follows .
The women wail ; men and women alike weep and beat their breasts and rend their hair and lacerate their cheeks ; clothes are also torn on the occasion , and dust sprinkled on the head .
The survivors are thus reduced to a more pitiable condition than the deceased : while they in all probability are rolling about and dashing their heads on the ground , he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reposes gracefully 13upon his lofty bier , adorned as it were for some pageant .
The mother–nay , it is the father , as likely as not , –now advances from among the relatives , falls upon the bier ( to heighten the dramatic effect , we will suppose its occupant to be young and handsome ) , and utters wild and meaningless ejaculations ; the corpse can not speak , otherwise it might have something to say in reply .
His son–the father exclaims , with a mournful emphasis on every word @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ; he is gone ; torn away before his hour was come , leaving him alone to mourn ; he has never married , never begotten children , never been on the field of battle , never laid hand to the plough , never reached old age ; never again will he make merry , never again know the joys of love , never , alas !
tipple at the convivial board among his comrades .
And so on , and so on .
He imagines his son to be still coveting these @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
But this is nothing : time after time men have been known to slaughter horses upon the tomb , and concubines and pages ; to burn clothes and other finery , or bury it , in the idea that the deceased will find a profitable use for such things in the lower world .
Now the afflicted senior , in delivering the tragic utterances I have suggested above , and others of the same kind , is not , as I understand it , consulting the interests of his son ( who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ though he shout louder than Stentor ) , nor yet his own ; he is perfectly aware of his sentiments , and has no occasion to bellow them into his own ear .
The natural conclusion is , that this tomfoolery is for the benefit of the spectators ; and all the time he has not an idea where his son is , or what may be his condition ; he can not even have reflected upon human life generally , or he would know that the loss of it is no such @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the son has obtained leave from Aeacus and Pluto to take a peep into the daylight , and put a stop to these parental maunderings .
‘ Confound it , sir , ’ he might exclaim , ‘ what is the noise about ?

By Lucian of Samosata
THE behaviour of the average man in a time of bereavement, his own language and the remarks offered him by way of consolation, are things that will reward the attention of a curious observer. The mourner takes it for granted that a terrible blow has fallen both upon himself and upon the object of his lamentations: yet for all he knows to the contrary (and here I appeal to Pluto and Persephone) the departed one, so far from being entitled to commiseration, may find himself in improved circumstances. The feelings of the bereaved party are in fact guided solely by custom and convention. The procedure in such cases–but no: let me first state the popular beliefs on the subject of death itself; we shall then understand the motives for the elaborate ceremonial with which it is attended.
The vulgar (as philosophers call the generality of mankind), implicitly taking as their text-book the fictions of Homer and Hesiod and other poets, assume the existence of a deep subterranean hole called Hades; spacious, murky, and sunless, but by some mysterious means sufficiently lighted to render all its details visible. Its king is a brother of Zeus, one Pluto; whose name–so an able philologer assures me–contains a complimentary allusion to his ghostly wealth. As to the nature of his government, and the condition of his subjects, the authority allotted to him extends over all the dead, who, from the moment that they come under his control, are kept in unbreakable fetters; Shades are on no account permitted to return to Earth; to this rule there have been only two or three exceptions since the beginning of the world, and these were made for very urgent reasons. His realm is encompassed by vast rivers, whose very names inspire awe: Cocytus, Pyriphlegethon, and the like. Most formidable of all, and first to arrest the progress of the new-comer, is Acheron, that lake which none may pass save by the ferryman’s boat; it is too deep to be waded, too broad for the swimmer, and even defies the flight of birds deceased. At the very beginning of the descent is a gate of adamant: here Aeacus, a nephew of the king, stands on guard. By his side is a three-headed dog, a grim brute; to new arrivals, however, he is friendly enough, reserving his bark, and the yawning horror of his jaws, for the would-be runaway. On the inner shore of the lake is a meadow, wherein grows asphodel; here, too, is the fountain that makes war on memory, and is hence called Lethe. All these particulars the ancients would doubtless obtain from the Thessalian queen Alcestis and her fellow-countryman Protesilaus, from Theseus the son of Aegeus, and from the hero of the Odyssey. These witnesses (whose evidence is entitled to our most respectful acceptance) did not, as I gather, drink of the waters of Lethe; because then they would not have remembered. According to them, the supreme power is entirely in the hands of Pluto and Persephone, who, however, are assisted in the labours of government by a host of underlings: such are the Furies, the Pains, the Fears; such too is Hermes, though he is not always in attendance. Judicial powers are vested in two satraps or viceroys, Minos and Rhadamanthus, both Cretans, and both sons of Zeus. By them all good and just men who have followed the precepts of virtue are sent off in large detachments to form colonies, as it were, in the Elysian Plain, and there to lead the perfect life. Evil-doers, on thecontrary, are handed over to the Furies, who conduct them to the place of the wicked, where they are punished in due proportion to their iniquities. What a variety of torments is there presented! The rack, the fire, the gnawing vulture; here Ixion spins upon his wheel, there Sisyphus rolls his stone. I have not forgotten Tantalus; but he stands elsewhere, stands parched on the Lake’s very brink, like to die of thirst, poor wretch! Then there is the numerous class of neutral characters; these wander about the meadow; formless phantoms, that evade the touch like smoke. It seems that they depend for their nourishment upon the libations and victims offered by us upon their tombs; accordingly, a Shade who has no surviving friends or relations passes a hungry time of it in the lower world.
So profoundly have the common people been impressed with these doctrines that, when a man dies, the first act of his relations is to put a penny into his mouth, that he may have wherewithal to pay the ferryman: they do not stop to inquire what is the local currency, whether Attic or Macedonian or Aeginetan; nor does it occur to them how much better it would be for the departed one if the fare were not forthcoming,–because then the ferryman would decline to take him, and he would be sent back into the living world. Lest the Stygian Lake should prove inadequate to the requirements of ghostly toilets, the corpse is next washed, anointed with the choicest unguents to arrest the progress of decay, crowned with fresh flowers, and laid out in sumptuous raiment; an obvious precaution, this last; it would not do for the deceased to take a chill on the journey, nor to exhibit himself to Cerberus with nothing on. Lamentation follows. The women wail; men and women alike weep and beat their breasts and rend their hair and lacerate their cheeks; clothes are also torn on the occasion, and dust sprinkled on the head. The survivors are thus reduced to a more pitiable condition than the deceased: while they in all probability are rolling about and dashing their heads on the ground, he, bravely attired and gloriously garlanded, reposes gracefully 13upon his lofty bier, adorned as it were for some pageant. The mother–nay, it is the father, as likely as not,–now advances from among the relatives, falls upon the bier (to heighten the dramatic effect, we will suppose its occupant to be young and handsome), and utters wild and meaningless ejaculations; the corpse cannot speak, otherwise it might have something to say in reply. His son–the father exclaims, with a mournful emphasis on every word,–his beloved son is no more; he is gone; torn away before his hour was come, leaving him alone to mourn; he has never married, never begotten children, never been on the field of battle, never laid hand to the plough, never reached old age; never again will he make merry, never again know the joys of love, never, alas! tipple at the convivial board among his comrades.

Let us imagine that the son has obtained leave from Aeacus and Pluto to take a peep into the daylight, and put a stop to these parental maunderings. ‘Confound it, sir,’ he might exclaim, ‘what is the noise about? You bore me. Enough of hair-plucking and face-scratching. When you call me an ill-fated wretch, you abuse a better man than yourself, and a more fortunate. Why are you so sorry for me?

He is gone, gone beyond the reach of sickness; he fears not fever any more, nor enemies nor tyrants.

Never can you reach contemptible old age, never be an eyesore to your juniors!–Confess, now, that my18 lamentation has the advantage of yours, in veracity, as in absurdity.
‘Perhaps it is the pitchy darkness of the infernal regions that runs in your head? is that the trouble? Are you afraid I shall be suffocated in the confinement of the tomb?

And at the word Death sealed his lips for ever.

Ev’n fair-haired Niobe forgat not food,
Not fasting mourn th’ Achaeans for their dead.
Thus far our corpse, leaning on one side, supported on an elbow. Can we doubt that he is in the right of it? And yet these simpletons, not content with their own noise, must call in professional assistance: an artist in grief, with a fine repertoire of cut-and-dried sorrows at his command, assumes the direction of this inane choir, and supplies a theme for their woful acclamations. So far, all men are fools alike: but at this point national peculiarities make their appearance. The Greeks burn their dead, the Persians bury them; the Indian glazes the body, the Scythian eats it, the Egyptian embalms it. In Egypt, indeed, the corpse, duly dried, is actually placed at table,–I have seen it done; and it is quite a common thing for an Egyptian to relieve himself from pecuniary embarrassment by a timely visit to the pawnbroker, with his brother or father deceased. The childish futility of pyramids and mounds and columns, with their short-lived inscriptions, is obvious. But some people go further, and attempt to plead the cause of the deceased with his infernal judges, or testify to his merits, by means of funeral games and laudatory epitaphs. The finalabsurdity is the funeral feast, at which the assembled relatives strive to console the parents, and to prevail upon them to take food; and, Heaven knows, they are willing enough to be persuaded, being almost prostrated by a three days’ fast. ‘How long is this to go on?’ some one expostulates. ‘Suffer the spirit of your departed saint to rest in peace. Or if mourn you will, then for that very reason you must eat, that your strength may be proportioned to your grief.’ At this point, a couple of lines of Homer go the round of the company:andThe parents are persuaded, though they go to work at first in a somewhat shamefaced manner; they do not want it to be thought that after their bereavement they are still subject to the infirmities of the flesh.
Such are some of the absurdities that may be observed in mourners; for I have by no means exhausted the list. And all springs from the vulgar error, that Death is the worst thing that can befall a man.


jewworldorder--2020-11-18--Coronavirus: Paris and Zurich become world’s most expensive cities to live in because of COVID-19

Paris and Zurich have joined Hong Kong to become the costliest cities in the world as the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the prices of everyday items .
The French capital and Swiss city leapfrogged over Singapore and Osaka to claim a joint first place with Hong Kong in the latest Cost of Living Index from The Economist Intelligence Unit ( EIU ) .
The index compared the prices of 138 goods and services from some 130 cities in September 2020 and found that prices on average grew 0.3 per cent over the past year .
Overall , cities in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ become less expensive while those in Western Europe have become costlier .
This is partly explained to the rise of European currencies against the US dollar .
Geneva ( 7 ) and Copenhagen ( 9 ) are the two other European cities featuring in the top 10 with Singapore , Tel Aviv , Osaka , New York and Los Angeles completing it .
Singapore and Japan ’ s Osaka , which last year occupied with top spot with Hong Kong , have become less expensive because of an exodus of foreign workers which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and thus prices .
In Japan , the government has also subsidised costs such as public transport .
The index found that prices were impacted by five main trends : currency fluctuations , supply chain problems such as shortages of certain goods including pasta and toilet roll , action taken by governments such as price controls , consumers ’ more precautionary approach over fears their income could be hit , and changes in lifestyle .
The report notes that what consumers now see as essential has shifted and that price-conscious ones have opted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ less-expensive goods .
However , prices of premium products have been relatively unaffected as high-earners , although less likely to shop as often , have not changed their habits much .

Clothing was the only category to see an average fall @ @ @ @ @ @ @ demand as most non-essential shops were closed for several weeks during lockdowns .

The British government is developing a system to provide COVID vaccinated people with QR codes on their phones , which they would present to get into sports events , concerts and other large gatherings , according to reports .

University of Manchester, UK – Teaching staff held a show of solidarity with their students following a ‘racial profiling’ row at the University of Manchester.
Lecturers also voiced their support for students protesting at the university’s handling of the coronavirus crisis.
A group of staff read out a statement at the Fallowfield Campus on Tuesday afternoon telling students: ‘We are with you. We are here for you’.
And they told black students and students of colour ‘who may be feeling particularly hurt and excluded from the university at the moment’ that ‘you do belong here’.
It comes after Zac Adan, 19, was physically restrained by security guards outside his halls of residence in Fallowfield last Friday night and asked to show his ID.
Mr Adan, who is of Somalian heritage, claims the guards said he looked like he ‘didn’t belong’ on the grounds of Manchester University and that there had been reports of ‘drug dealing’.
A video posted online shows the security guards pinning Mr Adan against the wall as he accuses them of ‘racial profiling’.
Protests also broke out at the university earlier this month after metal fences were erected around halls of residences when the UK went back into lockdown.
A group of students are also holding a rent strike in Owens Park building in protest at having to pay full rental fees for a semester that has been hugely disrupted by the pandemic.
The lecturers’ statement said: “Let us say it once more, loud and clear: the staff at the University of Manchester stand in solidarity with you.
“We understand your grievances, and think the issues you raise deserve very serious consideration.
“We encourage members of the university’s senior leadership team to come and visit you, too, and discuss all those concerns with you.
“We agree that you do not need fences to maintain a safe environment and respect current restrictions.
“And most of all, we believe that the University of Manchester is a place where no student should feel unsafe.
“The example of racial profiling and physical intimidation experienced by Zac Adan over the weekend reminded us how much work we as a university have to do in order to meaningfully include and support black students and students of colour, to live up to our statement of support for Black Lives Matter.
“To Zac and all black students and students of colour who may be feeling particularly hurt and excluded from the university at the moment, we want to remind you that you do belong here and you can thrive here.”
