England back on lock down

I’d like to see the racial breakdown of covid cases . Not for any nefarious reasons but more to illustrate that cultural lifestyles play a part in the spread. But they don’t publish those figures. I guess it wouldn’t be fair

My sister has been taking contract jobs working as a Covid ICU nurse for the last several months.  Two months in Long Island, 10 weeks in Miami, and now heading to Arizona mid November for a 13 week contract there.  I just spent some time in Florida with her, and this is what she and her nurse friend told me.  If you have brown skin (black, latino, asian), and you go to the ICU due to Covid, you are going to die there.  Every single brown skinned patient she just took care of in Miami died, and most on Long Island.  She says there seems to be a racial component to the virus.  If you're white, and have comorbidities, there is good chance that you will be going home after your ICU admission.  I'm going to guess that she'll be taking care of a lot of latino and native american patients in Arizona, so I'll find out if her previous experience holds up there.

UBI for everyone.  Its called socialism. 
Big business is a financial sector of government.
Amazon is the delivery service where you can spend your allotted sum of money.
Isn't this what you want?

I buy stuff on Amazon and I buy stuff locally...just like pretty much everyone else

The right wing socialism bogeyman is just horseshit that the right uses to try scare the crap out of themselves (meanwhile the red states are more dependent on goverment support than the blue states and everyone loves their social security and medicare)

Case numbers were already dropping before the lockdown. There really wasn't any need for it.

Not gonna complain though. I'll be getting paid to put my feet up.
