Techrights in an Age of Repeated Lockdowns Reality

Techrights monitoringSummary: As the virus spreads across the globe, at an even faster pace than earlier this year, it seems safe to say that this is the "new normal" and we're adapting to that, gradually

THE UNITED STATES will soon have a new president (2 months from now) as it looks like any signs of hope/recourse are running out for Donald Trump.



"We now have a low-powered home server to serve pages in a distributed fashion over IPFS (and to disseminate new pages overnight, copying them to peers)."The next US President won't be a nice person, except compared to his predecessor. He won't be inheriting a good economy, to say the least. Getting COVID-19 under control will be almost impossible by then, but expect more lock-downs, accompanying market crashes (the large corporations don't care about mass casualties; death isn't detrimental to business as much as operational shut-downs that harm sales).

Yesterday COVID-19 killed nearly 2,000 Americans. In one day. And the cases are rising, even soaring in terms of their totals across all states. The latest graph:

COVID-19 cases in US



The pandemic won't end any time soon; for almost half a year a number of nations have claimed to have a vaccine (many links about that posted in our Daily Links), but those were touted mostly by those who sell them, not independent assessors/investigators. Here in this site we're adapting accordingly. We now have a low-powered home server to serve pages in a distributed fashion over IPFS (and to disseminate new pages overnight, copying them to peers). Some time very soon we'll also move our main server to another datacenter due to a tragic death.
