AP news reports Europe hasn't done a very good job of preparing. =(

That's too bad. I guess I need to go back to believing that S. Korea and Japan are ready. Still, while that didn't sound great, they sound more prepared than many places in the USA.
Dallas, with deaths and cases soaring, still has 25,000 people in the stadium to watch the 1-3 Cowboys against the 0-4 Giants.

That's the FIRST place, 2-3, Cowboys.

Why do you think it was voluntary by the crowd? Maybe it was, but I wouldn't know that. Maybe the venue announced that big, burly guards would throw a plastic hood over you and drag you out of the stadium to the jail if you were seen without a mask.
No beer guzzling? Or did they use a straw for their wine so they could keep a mask on?

Dallas ERs are gearing up for another covid wave. The problem is that there are fewer resources available to properly staff up (compared to the first wave)...I guess there's either fatigue or lack of political capital/willingness around to spend on this ongoing pandemic.

And speaking of Italy, the Pope might want to get tested. Four of his Swiss guards tested positive for COVID.

A district in southeast Germany is going into its first lockdown since the first wave.
