France was already broke before, so this just add-up one little stone on the debt mountain.
On a serious note, I was really surprised that so many companies could not survive a 2-month lockdown. If you do not have treasury to survive 2 months, how are you running your business...
Not everything is going bad, ask Bezos. The shame is that governments shuts down physical stores but keep online business alive - this is unfair.

Yeah. Totally agree.
And the worst (although now it is being pretty obvious and a lot of voices are raising) is that they are having a huge increase in benefits using the postal service (first need job, so no lockdown) people working in the logistics malls and, and, and... but not paying any taxes at all in those lands.

No one benefits from a lockdown. This virus doesn't care and will simply wait for the lockdown to end.

So true...
But I think that the real point is not to avoid, but to keep the numbers in a level where they can be handled with, and even that is complicated.

Bicep - Atlas[^]
A song I just (semi-)randomly found on YouTube.
Send it to a cousin because I thought he might like it too, turned out to be one of his favorite groups already!
Apparently, Bicep have been active since 2009, but they've mainly released singles (like most DJ's do).
They're no strangers in the house and techno scene either, however I didn't know them.
I've little to say about this one, except that it was hard to pick any one track for the SOTW as I like them all.
Their self-titled album on Spotify is awesome, with Glue and Aura being two exceptional highlights.
Atlas is one of their newest tracks (and I just found out they released a new track today) from what I presume is from an upcoming album.
Looking forward to hearing more of them!

Nice! Here's a catchy Chemical Brother's tune: Snooprah

Nice one, haven't listened to the Chemical Brothers in quite some time.
Used to be one of my favorites too.
My favorite songs would have to be Setting Sun and Let Forever Be.
Further is their last album I've heard and K+D+B is another awesome track.

I just found "Inner Universe" by Yoko Kanno ft. Origa[^]
Maybe interesting for you?

Love that song.
I even think it's been SOTW before, a couple of years back
The original Ghost in the Shell anime is awesome too.
Always loved this song, which shows footage of the movie, but isn't actually a soundtrack of it: Wamdue Project - King of My Castle[^]

Checking
EDIT: No possible.... they want me to log in to confirm I am an adult.
EDIT2: I found another clip... it probably shows other footage, since here no loging needed.
And... THANK YOU... I have danced this song so often (but other versions)... and never knew the name...

Rave – mingle with the American (7)

ENTHUSE?
[edit]
Thinking about it, delete the question mark:
Rave
– EN (Printers mark, a gap that is half an EM)
mingle with (anag)
the TH E
American US
If that is the solution, that's a damn clever clue!

Not as clever as you think!  But right answer.
Rave - ENTHUSE
mingle with - a bit more specific than just anagram, not sure what the word is for interspersing letters in the same order
the TH E
American EN US (as in en-US; the hyphen was in there just to plant a seed...) Anyhow, you're it for Monday

Damnit, I spent ages trying to see if the two spaces on either side of the hyphen were the same size ...

Remdesivir, ..., should not be used in hospitals because there is no evidence it works, the World Health Organization has advised.
But it has obvious side-effects.

On a serious note though, it does work. Not trying to hijack this thread or get political, but WHO has an agenda, that does not always sync with other medical studies and professionals.

An agenda!
I have an agenda.
Code Project has an agenda.
Unless you are in a coma, you have an agenda.
And naturally, an organization with a stated mission has an agenda, and the agenda is fairly obvious if one reads it. What we do[^]
If you're suggesting their agenda is something nefarious, that's another story, but I'd need to see evidence and some incentive for them to engage in such cartoon villainry. Otherwise I couldn't really entertain the notion.

all I am saying is that thousands of health care professionals around the world do not agree with WHO's standings, statements, official comments, studies, research, findings, etc.
Even the CDC and WHO contradict each other on a daily basis.
