Apple Recloses More Than 25% of Its US Retail Stores Due To COVID-19 Spikes

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.

There is no evidence vote-by-mail has a bigger actual fraud percent than vote-in-person. We could have more vetting of vote-by-mail (or any voting), but typically people don't want to pay for it with higher taxes etc. unless they are shown it's a significant problem.

In short, if and when it becomes a significant problem, it is solvable by spending more on vetting and inspections. Ya git what you pay for.

Your rationale is a false dichotomy known as argumentum ad ignorantiam. You're indicating that since a crime will happen without knowledge, that we can never find truth to the matter at hand. That is distinctly different from a statement of "there is no evidence". Such a statement like "there is no evidence" is falsifiable since if you have evidence, you can show it to be incorrect. However, your statement can never be proven false as anything that successfully commits your goal is something that will n

Your same "hidden crime" logic can be used for claims of in-person voter fraud also. Live by ghosts, die by ghosts.

Follows up with ad hominem. Are you able to form an argument or do you just hide behind AC to spew all day?

Total misapplication of a fallacy

You didn't even try to support that argument.

Did you find that on "Rational Wiki?"

Project much?

Re:

[thegarbz]

Irrelevant. I mean I'm not sure if you made any points in your long paid for post but since you started with the question on "What about voter fraud" the answer is that's it's irrelevant and insignificant in any US election, so by extension your post is not worth reading.

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.

It's great

I just have my Secret Service Detail [cnn.com] test everybody I come into contact with. Can't see why everybody doesn't just do the same.

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.

25% ? Pah... Microsoft closed 100%

Where's your courage now, apple? :p

I think this is targeting a +5 Funny and I waste so many mod points, I ought to give it. The Microsoft stores are not closing in response to Coronavirus. Now if somebody said they were that should definitely get to a +5 Funny!
