COVID-19 pandemic, crime worries appear to fuel exodus from US
cities
--- Quote ---
> Cultural and social opportunities that often draw people to
metropolitan areas have largely shut down because of social
distancing requirements. Meanwhile, the ability to work remotely
has left many city dwellers questioning whether their tight
quarters and expensive rents are worth it. Before the
coronavirus, only about 5% of workers did their jobs remotely.
That figure has jumped to nearly half. Industry leaders
including Silicon Valley-based tech giants Google, Twitter and
Facebook have announced plans to let employees work from home
for the next year, if not indefinitely. New York-based financial
giants JPMorgan and Morgan Stanley have offered their employees
a similar option.

> Mounting US deaths reveal an outsize toll on people of color
>
> As many as 215,000 more people than usual died in the U.S.
during the first seven months of 2020, suggesting that the
number of lives lost to the coronavirus is significantly higher
than the official toll. And half the dead were people of color —
Blacks, Hispanics, Native Americans and, to a marked degree
unrecognized until now, Asian Americans.
>
> The new figures from the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention highlight a stark disparity: Deaths among minorities
during the crisis have risen far more than they have among
whites.
> ...
> People of color make up just under 40% of the U.S. population
but accounted for approximately 52% of all the “excess deaths”
above normal through July, according to an analysis by The
Associated Press and The Marshall Project, a nonprofit news
organization covering the criminal justice system.
>
> “The toll of the pandemic shows just how pervasive structural
racism is,” said Olugbenga Ajilore, senior economist at the
Center for American Progress, a public policy organization in
Washington.
>
> Earlier data on cases, hospitalizations and deaths revealed
the especially heavy toll on Black, Hispanic and Native
Americans, a disparity attributed to unequal access to health
care and economic opportunities. But the increases in total
deaths by race were not reported until now; nor was the
disproportionate burden on Asian Americans.
>
> With this new data, Asian Americans join Blacks and Hispanics
among the hardest-hit communities, with deaths in each group up
at least 30% this year compared with the average over the last
five years, the analysis found. Deaths among Native Americans
rose more than 20%, though that is probably a severe undercount
because of a lack of data. Deaths among whites were up 9%.

Business Is Booming for the Italian Mafia During COVID
--- Quote ---
> The coronavirus hit Italy like a freight train. By March 10,
there were already over 8,500 cases. Under massive pressure to
stop the pandemic from spreading in prisons, the government was
forced to make another unprecedented decision – they released
more than 200 Mafia members from high-security prisons.
>
> For prosecutors and investigators, this decision walked back
decades of hard work. For the mafia, it came at a perfect
moment. The coronavirus has not only offered new business
opportunities such as selling masks but also has sent Italy
spiraling toward complete economic collapse, leaving the most
vulnerable Italians with no option but to turn to the mob.
>
> VICE News goes to Naples, Italy to see how the mafia has used
the pandemic to tighten their grip on Italy.

Westerners favorite villainous organization, because there's
nothing quite like making sure poor people get taxed twice for
protection in the middle of a pandemic, whilst claiming you are
"for the poor" of course.... ;)

At least the mafia tend to be pro-refugee (who can be easily
persuaded to join in exchange for protection from deportation).
In a sane world, we would want the government to give refugees
citizenship ASAP so that their incentive to join the mafia is
removed. But in the current world, I would rather side with the
mafia than a government which tries to deport refugees.
Back to the topic, however:
