As the death count in the United States surpasses the 200,000 mark, an Axios/Ipsos poll shows 60% of Americans say they will not take a vaccine when one becomes available. That figure is up from 53% in August. Most said they’d wait a few months or never get one at all.
For whatever reason, younger women appear to be bearing the brunt of the UK’s second wave based on hospital admissions. That metric shows a substantial rise in women 20 to 40 admitted for serious infections since the beginning of August.
In Greece, judicial authorities were instructed to prosecute anti-mask activists, and engage fast-tracked trials and penalties with convictions of up to a year in prison. The infection rate there actually remains lower than most other EU member nations.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
