Wait — did Mexico pay for actions that protect the U.S. from illegal migrants out of their own budget??


Czechs open back up for businesses as virus recedes
[IsraelTimes] The Czech Republic has entered another phase of relaxing restrictive measures adopted to contain the coronavirus pandemic, opening stores with up to 2,500 square meters (26,900 square feet) of space. At the same time, the zoo and botanical parks, fitness centers and driving schools are back to business. Public gatherings of up to 10 people are allowed, up from two.

The government rules on social distancing and mandatory face masks remain in place.

In a boost for the economy, the three Czech plants of Skoda Auto that belong to Germany’s carmaker Volkswagen renewed production on Monday. The company employs some 34,000 people.

One person died of COVID-19 on Sunday for a total of 221, while 73 patients with the disease needed intensive care in hospitals, the second lowest number since April 1.

#21  RE: #7. I just happened to check the IHME model this morning. US has had 70% of its projected deaths. NY 90%. Texas 40%, (but it is opening a little).

Figures don't lie, but politicians abuse them.

#20  Local grocery chain (Tom Thumb) this morning, during senior hours. Fair to good stock of everything, except sanitizing stuff. Several off-brands of TP and a modest supply of Charmin.

#19  I lucked out at Walmart on Sunday. An employee was guarding/distributing packs of toilet paper. Still a hot commodity, but maybe, just maybe, the end in the madness is near.

#15  Last three weeks the line outside Sam's Club here formed up before the doors opened and extended from the door all the way back to the loading dock. Today no line, some stuff still in short supply or limit 1 or 2 per customer visit. Improvement nonetheless.
