2…………> COVID-19 Pains In US & Around The World: Young Hit Hardest

.

New coronavirus infections in the US have risen slightly as the country gradually opens up, sending its citizens back to work and play, following five weeks of declines, coronavirus infection rates are growing in the US, discovered nationally due to more than 21 million tests that have been conducted, and aided by recent protests adding to another spike in cases that surpassed 2 million.

Increased testing hit a record high on June 5 of 545,690 tests in a single day, nationally registering more than 21 million tests have been conducted so far.

Meanwhile, younger men and women have been hardest hit financially by Covid-19 lockdown as more of their money goes on essentials, the youngest and oldest workers are most likely to have lost their jobs or seen income cut owing to the system of state-paid wages.

With little in savings and less chance to cut spending, the under-30s would be hit hardest by this, which is true around the US and EU.

A recent survey found that a typical household in the Islamic Sheikdom of UK normally spent an average of £182 a week on activities, such as travel, holidays and meals out, that have been mostly ruled out under health guidance during the virus outbreak. This is equivalent to 22% of a usual weekly budget of £831.

Many households have been saving that money instead or using it to cover any loss of income.

Thousands of people have lost their jobs and millions have received only 80% of their usual wages as they have been furloughed – in other words, told not to work while the government covers their pay.

3…………> Winston Churchill: Hero Or Villain?

.
A statue of Winston Churchill was sprayed with graffiti during recent protests in London, with claims that the former prime minister was racist, and Government ministers condemned the “vandalism and desecration” of the statue.

But Britain’s wartime leader split opinion in his own lifetime, and remains a divisive figure today.

To many he will always be known as the man who helped inspire the allies to victory in WW2, but some question other parts of his legacy.

4…………> EU Charge: Are Russia, China & Co Behind COVID-19 ‘Disinformation Wave’?

.
“Foreign actors and certain third countries, in particular Russia and China, have engaged in targeted influence operations and disinformation campaigns in the EU, its neighborhood, and globally,” the European Commission said in an unusually blunt statement, charging that they engaged in “targeted” campaigns to spread health hoaxes and false information about the coronavirus. Brussels urged social media giants to take action EU experts said they’ve logged a “massive wave” of health care hoaxes, false claims, online scams, hate speech and COVID-19 coronavirus conspiracy theories circulating on social media platforms — as well as attempts by foreign actors to insert themselves in domestic EU issues.

“Such coordination [by third country actors] reveals an intention to use false or misleading information to cause harm,” the policy paper read.

5………..> President Trump: No US Bases Re-Naming

.
Saying that the US military bases have become part of a “Great American Heritage”, President Trump rejected any proposal to rename US military bases that are named for Confederate leaders from the 1860s Civil War, dismissing appeals made in the wake of the death of African American George Floyd,  with discussions about renaming the bases viewed as a way of achieving racial reconciliation.
Bases named for Confederate military leaders are all located in former Confederate states, and protesters called for the removal of Confederate statues from the US Capitol, and the ten bases carry the names of Confederate military leaders, including Fort Bragg in North Carolina, one of the largest in the United States, and Fort Hood in Texas.

Discussions about renaming the bases have emerged as a way of achieving racial reconciliation.

In a series of tweets, Mr. Trump argued the bases had become part of a “Great American Heritage”:
