Apple will close 30 additional stores in the United States by Thursday, the company said, bringing the total number of reclosures in the United States to 77 as Covid-19 cases rapidly rise in several regions around the country. CNBC reports: Stores in Alabama, California, Georgia, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada and Oklahoma will close Thursday. Other stores in Florida, Mississippi, Texas and Utah are closed as of Wednesday. Apple has 271 stores in the United States. An Apple spokesman said in a statement: "Due to current COVID-19 conditions in some of the communities we serve, we are temporarily closing stores in these areas. We take this step with an abundance of caution as we closely monitor the situation and we look forward to having our teams and customers back as soon as possible." The closings announced on Wednesday include the last two remaining stores open in Florida, as well as a number of stores around the Los Angeles area.

    • Ya, this COVID thing is SO two months ago. If we ignore it, it'll go away on its own. If PoC don't need to worry about wearing masks and social distancing then neither does everyone else.
    • While the rest of the world is getting over Covid-19 America is getting worse. It is like we have elected idiots who don't want to listen to experts, or threw out a pandemic response planning group. Because the when the other party was in charged they started one.

      Apple has been trying to be an essential business. However it is showing that they are not so special after all.
