But they slightly forgot to read any COVID research. It is not that children and young people are not becoming sick or not spreading virus - it is not such.

They just have very mild symptoms, but are perfectly able to infect other children and students around and bring the virus back to family.

Such way mask mode efficiency dropped, as most infections happen inside families now.

Share of $1 billion or larger companies in total US profits and assets.

Such companies are more than 91% in manufacturing, around 92% in retail (in online it is even worse), and more than 96% in IT (including software).

Small business had been shrinking long before Corona

Since early 2020, small (<250 workers) companies lost from 25% to 90% of employed people (depending on state and sector).

Most of this firms will never be back to normal and good.

It was feared by many to be the perfect winter storm, a nightmare situation that would push our health service over the edge: the 'twin-demic' of flu, which kills about 10,000 Britons every year, and a second deadly wave of Covid-19. Thirty million people – 20 per cent more than normal, and now including all over-50s – are eligible for this year's jab.

There's just one curious problem: flu, it seems, has all but vanished.

The disappearing act began as Covid-19 rolled in towards the end of our flu season in March. And just how swiftly rates have plummeted can be observed in 'surveillance' data collected by the World Health Organisation (WHO).

In the Southern Hemisphere, where the flu season happens during our summer months, the WHO data suggests it never took off at all. In Australia, just 14 positive flu cases were recorded in April, compared with 367 during the same month in 2019 – a 96 per cent drop. By June, usually the peak of its flu season, there were none. In fact, Australia has not reported a positive case to the WHO since July. In Chile, just 12 cases of flu were detected between April and October. There were nearly 7,000 during the same period in 2019. And in South Africa, surveillance tests picked up just two cases at the beginning of the season, which quickly dropped to zero over the following month – overall, a 99 per cent drop compared with the previous year.

In the UK, our flu season is only just beginning. But since Covid-19 began spreading in March, just 767 cases have been reported to the WHO compared with nearly 7,000 from March to October last year.

It is just one little issue - 99% of all flu diagnoses had been fully unscientific and did not involved any tests. Sometimes officials tested 50-300 people to just get some idea that flu strains actually circulate and in more than 70% of cases their vaccines actually did not match any major strains. Usually they kept being silent all this time while you had been sick (also silently at home).

In reality all, 100% of developed countries have special plans that top health bureaucrats push to the hospitals and that tells them how many sick people can have flu written in their cards. No, people will still have same flu, but now it will be called COVID and in 2019 and prior years it will be some "cold" or other fuzzy term, In Mordor it is usually called "acute respiratory syndrome" for long long time (btw even SARS last 3 letters comes from this ancient thing).

This is how big hierarchies of bureaucrats fully solved flu problems, for themselves, not for you. With COVID it'll be all the same, after massive vaccination they will have same guidance and plans and again you will be getting "cold" and accidental "pneumonia", but not from COVID.

Thing is that right now virus is mutating like mad inside real people and it is MUCH, MUCH more probable that it will be more dangerous mutations, as mutations in mink will be working better inside minks. This is whole points of successful mutations.

Actuall issue with COVID is that it suddenly jumped to humans from at least TWO distant animals (present mass media theory is that it is both pangolins and bats) and turned out to be perfect in at least 3-4 core things. I mean, not just good, but almost theoretically 100% optimal (its ACE binding is considered if not optimal, but extremely close). Such things never had been observed in nature before.

Next issue is that all progressive mass media and bureaucrats wanted minks to be killed for quite long time (in many countries they already made it long before coronavirus). Issue with minks is that they provide high quality and long lasting fur and you can't control its production using patents. So, it is bad for many large sponsors of animal right defenders among mass media. Even more fun is that all this ecological and animal lovers are actually fighting for producing 1-2 seasons oil based things that are 10-20x more damaging to Earth.

And remember - this guys want to kill your home cat after they'll be done with minks. All leading media already made at least 8 attempts to push this narrative.

November 25 marked the 70th anniversary of the death of Mao Anying (1922-1950). Mao Anying was the son of Mao Zedong. His mother, Mao Zedong's wife, Yang Kaihui (1901–1930), was executed in a Kuomintang prison.

In 1942, Anying wrote three letters to Stalin, in which he asked to be sent to the front. “Dear Comrade Stalin! - he wrote. - I am a Chinese youth. In the Land of the Soviets you lead, I studied for 5 years. I love the USSR as I love China. I can’t watch the German fascists trample your country. I want to avenge the millions of killed Soviet people. I am determined to go to the front. Please support my request. Author - Mao Anying (Seryozha), date - May 1942 ". In the end, Anying succeeded in being sent to the front as a lieutenant in a tank company. He fought across Poland and Czechoslovakia, and ended the war in Berlin. His fellow soldiers knew him as the captain of the Red Army, Sergei Mayev. They considered him a Buryat.

In 1946, Anying returned to China at the direction of his father. His father sent him to work as a farm laborer for some peasant. However, this did not last long, about three months. Only then did Mao praise his son: “Everyone should taste the bitter in his life. Before you ate bread, drank milk, and now you are in China and you need to try Shenbei plague, it is very good for your health! "

In 1950, when the Korean War broke out, Anying volunteered for the front. He served as an interpreter at the headquarters of the future Marshal Peng Dehuai (1898-1974). It is said that during the raid of American bombers, Anying was preparing his own food - rice and eggs, and therefore did not have time to hide in a bomb shelter. Others refute this story, saying that it was invented to cast a shadow on Anying - they say, according to legend, he cooked himself delicious food, indulging his whim, and therefore became a victim of the US napalm bomb. Anyway, Anying died. Peng Dehuai was shocked by what had happened and upon arriving in Beijing asked for forgiveness from the elder Mao: “Chairman, I did not save Anying, it is my fault. Please punish me. " To which Mao replied with an extremely characteristic phrase: “An ordinary soldier died, and one should not make a special event out of this just because he is my son. It is normal that despite he is my son, the son of the Chairman of the Party, he can die as any other man in the name of the common cause of the peoples of China and Korea! "

All 100% big channels I talked with told that their marketing partners (or even channel directly) had been approached by Apple guys.
Apple offers this year free gear as well as review guides and direct integrated product placement. This is not common for Apple before 2020.
Main items are iPhone 12 lineup and M1 notebooks. For small channels it is usually their marketing partners who offer new Apple products for temporary lease this year.

Walt Disney said late on Wednesday it would lay off about 32,000 workers, primarily at its theme parks, an increase of 4,000 from the 28,000 it announced in September, as the company struggles with limited customers due to the coronavirus pandemic. The layoffs will be in the first half of 2021, the company said in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Nice.
