Pubs reopen in England, but other parts of the world signal things are anything but normal

Pubs, hair salons and movie theaters across England reopened Saturday as part of Britain’s biggest step toward post-outbreak normal, while South Africa and other parts of the world signaled anything but — reporting another day of record confirmed coronavirus cases.

Critics pointed to the experience elsewhere in Europe and in some parts of the U.S., where the reopening of bars and restaurants is blamed for a surge in infections from patrons losing their inhibitions among strangers and abandoning social distancing after imbibing a few drinks.Reinforcing the concern the British government had been too hasty: the World Health Organization said its member nations reported more than 212,000 new COVID-19 cases to the U.N.

In South Africa, a growing hot spot as the pandemic picks up speed in parts of Africa, confirmed cases have climbed to more than 177,000, with a record 9,063 reported in the most recent 24-hour period.If Africa’s most developed country is struggling to manage the pandemic, that’s ominous for less-prepared African nations. Confirmed cases across the 54-nation continent are now above 433,000.

Russia’s caseload is the world’s third largest behind the United States and Brazil, but its reported deaths are lower than many other countries. Officials have denied speculation that the figures are being manipulated.Elsewhere, authorities targeted communities for special measures as virus clusters emerged.

And Tokyo confirmed 131 new cases, exceeding 100 for the third day in a row and hitting a new two-month high, prompting Gov. Yuriko Koike to ask residents to avoid nonessential out-of-town visits.Concerns are rising about a resurgence of infections as Japan is now nearly back to business as usual after its state of emergency was lifted in May.

THEY HAVE AN INCOMPETENT SO-CALLED LEADER. JUST AS THE STATES OF AMERICA !

Happy 4th of July America!
