A ‘Terrifying’ Coronavirus Surge Will Land in Biden’s Lap Though the country is conducting far more tests now than it was in the spring, the soaring case numbers now reflect accelerating spread of the virus, not simply wider testing. Hospitalizations, which give a clear picture of how many people are seriously ill with the virus at any given time, grew by 63 percent over the past month, according to data collected by the Covid Tracking Project. More than 55,000 people are now hospitalized with the virus, approaching earlier peaks of more than 59,000 in April and July. You don't need to spend $1,000 on a phone.

Obama counseled 'a small group' of NBA players amid boycotts The source also confirmed that Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James was on the call. It was Paul, the source said, who organized the discussion. News of the call was first reported by Shams Charania, who reports for both The Athletic and Stadium. Katie Hill, a spokeswoman for Obama, told CNN in a statement, "As an avid basketball fan, President Obama speaks regularly with players and league officials. When asked, he was happy to provide advice on Wednesday night to a small group of NBA players seeking to leverage their immense platforms for good after their brave and inspiring strike in the wake of Jacob Blake's shooting." "They discussed establishing a social justice committee to ensure that the players' and league's actions this week led to sustained, meaningful engagement on criminal justice and police reform."
Supreme Court rejects Texas' and Trump's bid to overturn election The court's order, issued with no public dissents, to dismiss the challenge is the strongest indication yet that Trump has no chance of overturning election results in court, and that even the justices whom he placed there have no interest in allowing his desperate legal bids to continue. The Electoral College will convene Monday to affirm Biden's win. The lawsuit, brought by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, a staunch Trump ally, sought to sue Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia and Wisconsin -- which all went for Biden -- and invalidate their election results. And this week, with his options narrowing, Trump, accompanied by the support of several Republican attorneys general and GOP lawmakers, cranked up pressure to have the Supreme Court weigh in.
Coronavirus live news: US nears 10m cases as global infections pass 50m The German health minister, Jens Spahn, has warned once again of the danger that the country’s health system will no longer be able to cope if the coronavirus infection rate continues to rise. If there are, as we saw last week, approximately 20,000 new registered infections a day with about 2 % of those cases needing to go to into intensive care, which amounts to 400 people a day. And with the average stay in ICU being 15 days, it will quickly be the case that 6,000 ICU beds are filled. The health system can just about cope with such figures, but beyond that it will struggle, he has said in an interview with the video channel of the tabloid Bild. Germany tightened coronavirus measures a week ago, and it is still too early to say if they have yet had the effect of slowing down the virus’s spread.

Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler excoriates President Donald Trump: 'It's you who have created the hate' Speaking at a news conference, Mayor Ted Wheeler asked, "Do you seriously wonder, Mr. President, why this is the first time in decades that America has seen this level of violence?"

Coronavirus live news: White House chief of staff Mark Meadows tests positive – reports Figures for October showed this week that prices have risen for the first time since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic in the latest batch of data to confound expectations that the property market would collapse under the weight of lockdowns, recession, unemployment and lack of immigration-driven population growth. And with the Reserve Bank cutting interest rates to a record low of 0.1% on Tuesday, owner-occupier lending hitting an all-time monthly high of $16bn according to ABS data, and savings soaring 20% to give households a property war chest, what is going to stop the Australian housing juggernaut? Nothing is the short answer, according to some expert observers, who argue that because money is cheaper to borrow it is often more affordable to buy a home than it is to rent one.
