The
pandemic is setting records for hospitalizations,
forcing states to rethink their reopening plans
U.S. Sets One-Day Record For New Coronavirus Cases
Across the United States, 38,115 new infections were reported by state
health departments on Wednesday — surpassing the previous single-day record
of 34,203 set on April 25.
Texas, Florida and California led the way, with all three states reporting
more than 5,000 new cases apiece.
Three states — California, Florida and Oklahoma — reported record highs in
new single-day coronavirus cases, while hospitalizations hit a new peak in
Arizona, where intensive care units have quickly filled.
Even as case numbers climb, reports circulated that the federal government is
poised to stop providing federal aid to testing sites in some hard-hit states,
including Texas, prompting a top federal official to respond that testing was on
the rise.

Texas pauses reopening plan as coronavirus cases and hospitalizations rise
Businesses that were permitted to open under the previous phases can continue to
operate at the designated occupancy outlined by the Texas Department of State
Health Services, according to statement from Abbott’s office. “The last thing we
want to do as a state is go backwards and close down businesses. This temporary
pause will help our state corral the spread until we can safely enter the next
phase of opening our state for business,” Gov. Greg Abbott said in the release.

'No Evidence' Black Lives Matter Protests Caused COVID-19 Spike: Study
A study using data from Black Lives Matters protests across 315 of America's
largest cities found "no evidence" in the following two and a half weeks that
they caused a spike in the number of new COVID-19 cases. The paper, titled "Black
Lives Matter Protests, Social Distancing, and COVID-19," also found "strong
evidence" that the protests actually increased stay-at-home overall, likely
because non-protesters chose to leave their homes less amid the demonstrations.

Private Security Officers Target of Violence During Reopening of Businesses
Private security officers have once again become the target of violence since
the reopening of businesses, malls, and nightclubs during the past few weeks.
To understand the dynamics of how private security officers are often the target
of assaults, shootings, and death, you need not look any further than the
past 7 days: Three security officers have been
murdered, six others have been shot and two other security officers have been
stabbed in unrelated incidents. And there have been numerous others
physically assaulted while enforcing the rules and just doing their job.
Each year more than 27,000 assaults of security
officers are reported and more than 100 security officer deaths occur
according to national statistics catalogued by Private Officer International.

How Much Covid-19 Cost Those Businesses That Stayed Open
 A food distributor has paid $20 million for testing and plexiglass. T-Mobile US
Inc. has spent $50 million on extra cleaning and safety gear. Walmart Inc. and
three other big retail chains have put more than $3 billion into higher
salaries, benefits and other Covid-19 measures.
Staying open during the pandemic wasn’t cheap. Big companies say they spent
anywhere from hundreds of thousands to almost a billion dollars in
Covid-19-related costs. Some say they
expect the costs to keep rising in coming quarters,
even as they face uncertain demand from consumers.
The figures include increased pay for front-line workers, expanded cleaning and
sanitization protocols, and the purchasing of coronavirus testing or personal
protective equipment,
according to a Wall Street Journal review of recent quarterly reports and
earnings-call transcripts. These are extra expenses and don’t reflect extra
revenue or lost business. Some essential retailers that were open as well as
makers of safety gear had a surge in revenue during the lockdown.
Here is a sampling of what companies have revealed.
Many of these examples are companies with quarters that ended later than March
31 and included more of the lockdown. A clearer picture will come when more
firms report their results for the current quarter, beginning next month.
Target - $1 billion
Walmart - $900 million
Kroger - $830 million
Home Depot - $640 million
T-Mobile - $117 million

 U.S.
marshals have been told they should prepare to help

according to an email directive viewed by The Washington Post, as President
Trump has vowed stern punishment for those who vandalize or destroy such
structures as part of police violence protests.
In an email, Marshals Service Assistant Director Andrew C. Smith wrote that the
agency “has been asked to immediately prepare to provide federal law enforcement
support to protect national monuments (throughout the country).”
The subject line of the message indicates it is an “Attorney General

Wisconsin Gov. Evers activates state National Guard in response

Gov. Tony Evers on Wednesday afternoon authorized the Wisconsin National Guard
to support police in response to civil unrest in Madison.
“The protests in Madison last night
resulted in serious injury to bystanders as well as significant damage to state
property,” Evers said
in the release. “The Wisconsin National Guard will serve in a limited
authorization meant to make sure people can exercise their First Amendment
rights while ensuring the safety of members of the public and state buildings
and infrastructure.”
Madison police reported
damage to state buildings and a Molotov cocktail thrown into the City-County
Building
overnight Tuesday. Two statues were removed from outside of the Wisconsin State
Capitol. A state senator also alleged he was assaulted by protesters while
taking a video and had to lock himself in his Capitol office for safety, and
a motorist said he was beaten and his vehicle damaged by demonstrators.

FBI: Online crimes increasing in Florida, California, Texas, Ohio, and New York
Analysis of FBI data found that nearly $2 billion was stolen from US victims in
2019 just from business email compromise. After examining data collected by the
FBI, researchers with
the university's Internet Crime Research Report found that Washington, Ohio,
California, and Florida have become hubs for internet crime since 2015. A team
of analysts led by Dr. Michael Crain, director of FAU's Center for Forensic
Accounting, pored through the FBI data between 2015 to 2019 to figure out which
states had the highest number of victims and highest amount of monetary losses
due to internet crime.

Pre-Bankruptcy Retention Bonuses Under Fire
J.C. Penney CEO & Others' Pre-Bankruptcy Retention Bonuses Come Under Fire
 Companies that are struggling to pay creditors and suppliers are managing to
find millions of dollars to pay bonuses to their bosses. The payments, which are
made just before a bankruptcy filing, appear to be legal and have been made by
several companies.
J.C. Penney, which is closing 154 stores, paid its chief executive, Jill Soltau,
$4.5 million.
The chief executive of Whiting Petroleum, which sought bankruptcy protection in
April, received $6.4 million, and Chesapeake Energy is paying bonuses ahead of
an expected bankruptcy filing. Executives at Hertz also got payments before the
rental-car giant sought bankruptcy protection.
Companies have said the payments are meant to help them retain qualified
executives through the recession and bankruptcy.
But critics counter that the money would be better spent on rank-and-file
employees. “It makes me angry because they are not taking care of the people who
are actually making the money,” said Liz Marin, who worked at Toys “R” Us when
it filed for bankruptcy and is now an organizer in training at United for
Respect, a nonprofit organization that seeks to help retail workers.
Toys “R” Us paid bonuses to executives before its bankruptcy.
And of course the bonuses are far higher than what regular employees earn. Ms.
Soltau’s was many times the $11,482 the retailer’s median employee, a part-time
worker, earned during J.C. Penney’s 2019 fiscal year, according to a securities
filing.

Illinois Legislature OKs stiffer penalties for assaults on retail workers
Senate Bill 471 amends the “aggravated battery” section of law by adding the
crime of assaulting or battering a retail worker who is fulfilling duties such
as relaying health care or safety regulations from an employer or public health
agencies. Rep. Marcus Evans Jr., D-Chicago, said the bill “sends a clear
message” to workers in Illinois and across the country that they “must be
respected and protected.” He said retail workers assaulted for telling
people to wear masks showed that the bill is needed. SB 471, which passed
with a 95-10 vote in the House and 47-3 in the Senate, only needs a signature
from Gov. JB Pritzker to become law, and it would take effect immediately when
signed.

those on H-1B visas, seasonal workers, students on work-study summer programs,
and au pairs. The ban has been met with
criticism from many business leaders, who say it will drastically impede
their ability to recruit global talent. President Trump says the move will help
create jobs for Americans who’ve been affected by the pandemic.

'BlueLeaks' Police Data Leak: A Sign of the Times?
The recent leak of 269 GB of sensitive data
from more than 200 police departments and the FBI could be a sign that law
enforcement agencies are becoming a prime target for hackers, given recent civil
unrest.
The data was leaked last week by a group known as Distributed Denial of Secrets,
or DDoSecrets, which, like Wikileaks, publishes formerly secret data, according
to a security blogger Brian Krebs.
"It's no surprise that law enforcement was the target of this data breach," says
Saryu Nayyar, CEO of Gurucul, a risk analytics firm. "With the current civil and
political climate, a wide range of threat actors, from activists to
nation-states, would be interested in revealing this sort of confidential
information. Going forward, especially with the current election cycle, we
can expect to see more events like this."

Very Little Loyalty After Attacks
Research Confirms Links Between Cyber Attacks,
Consumer Purchasing and Brand Loyalty
A
survey of nearly 2,000 consumers across North America, the United Kingdom,
France, and Germany, found that 70% believe businesses aren't doing enough to
adequately secure their personal information and assume it has been compromised
without them knowing it. And, as consumers become more educated and cyberattacks
become well-known, perceived trust becomes more influential in their purchasing
decisions, with the study also finding that:
• Nearly nine of ten consumers consider the
trustworthiness of a business prior to purchasing a product or service; and,
• 59% of consumers would likely avoid doing
business with an organization that had experienced a cyberattack in the past
year.
The findings suggest businesses must manage uncharted challenges with the rise
of cybercriminals now making breaches public, regardless of ransoms paid.
Consumer Tolerance Threshold
The study found that one in four consumers will abandon a product or service
in favor of a competitor after a single ransomware-related service disruption,
failed transaction, or instance of inaccessible information. It also found that
tolerance for the events quickly deteriorates, with:
• More than 66% of respondents citing they
would turn to a competitor if an organization couldn't restore systems and
applications within three days following a cyberattack; and,
• More than a third of those would be willing
to switch after a mere 24 hours of waiting to access their information or make a
transaction.

High stakes:
How cannabis retailers can operate safely during and in the aftermath of
COVID-19
Cannabis companies,
deemed essential businesses
in many states, continue operating despite the COVID-19 pandemic. While many
cannabis companies are struggling to stay open without eligibility for the Small
Business Administration loans authorized by Congress, remaining operational has
other considerations regarding how to revamp their retail stores without
spreading communicable illnesses.
Considerations for all cannabis retailers
Cannabis retailers face many of the same questions as other retailers.[1] One of
the biggest considerations is customer access. How will you limit customer count
in the store to ensure proper
social distancing? How
do you decide how many customers are allowed in at a time?
Who will monitor and enforce the rules?
What happens if a customer does not wear a cloth face covering despite a
requirement to do so? Will you require the customer to vacate the store
immediately? What if the customer refuses to leave?
How will you enforce social distancing of customers inside the store?
Cannabis companies will need to have procedures and best practices for staff to
address each of these scenarios.
Special considerations for cannabis retailers with smoke rooms or lounges
Cannabis retailers that permit customers to smoke in a smoke room or lounge area
face additional hurdles. As a preliminary matter, cannabis retailers should
consider whether, as shelter-in-place orders slowly lift, opening their smoke
rooms makes sense, as, by their nature, such smoke rooms counteract some
preventive measures, like wearing cloth face coverings, and allow exhalation
vapors to mingle where they might be re-inhaled. Just because your smoke room is
permitted to open doesn’t mean it is practical or makes financial sense, or
shouldn’t be remodeled to allow better air circulation or be moved outside.
Prior to opening your smoke room, you also need to consider whether you can do
so safely.
Businesses have an obligation to protect both their employees and customers.

New Jersey Is On The Verge Of Becoming the 12th State To
Legalize Recreational Cannabis
 After
legislative failures, voters may give the green light to legalization
There were a couple of attempts
to pass recreational cannabis in New Jersey in previous years, but
these did not go through.
Back in December 2019, the New Jersey legislature approved a referendum on the
ballot which resembles a resolution, a constitutional amendment
to have voters choose marijuana legalization details.
The resolution suggests that the
New Jersey’s cannabis market should be regulated by the Cannabis Regulatory
Commission, which
already controls the state’s medical marijuana program since July 2019. By
having the people decide if cannabis should be legalized for recreational
purposes for people ages 21 and older via the ballot, huge shifts in public
policy are possible, according to Assembly Speaker Craig Couglin.
Based on the current survey by the end of 2020,
New Jersey will become the 12th state to legalize recreational cannabis.
This does not mean that New Jersey won’t face a lot of challenges, but it can be
taken as a great example for many other states to
continue to push towards recreational cannabis even if the legislative route
turns out to be unsuccessful.

Where Consumers Shifted During COVID-19, Ecommerce Fraud Followed
Attackers are following the money too
COVID-19 has quickly
reshaped web traffic and application usage patterns.
For example, traffic to food delivery has skyrocketed.
The rapid shift in consumer behavior has morphed attack patterns,
expanded the threat environment and added attack pressures against many site
operators unaccustomed to so much attention from ecommerce fraud operators. They
are largely mounting
account takeover (ATO) attacks.
 Logically,
attackers are following the money. Greater traffic and transactions in new
industries means more opportunities for fraud such as:
• Theft
of credit card and financial information
• Placing
unauthorized orders for goods or services using hijacked accounts
• Draining
new pools of loyalty points to resell on the dark web
Ecommerce fraud attackers are taking advantage of rapid shifts.
Security teams operating under shelter in place are less efficient.
Those teams are shouldering new responsibilities for securing remote workers.
Online merchants are pushing application changes more quickly; this results in
more bugs and vulnerabilities going live.

Clovis, CA: FBI arrests Walmart manager on suspicion of Federal bank fraud
An assistant manager of a Clovis Walmart is behind bars, arrested Wednesday,
after facing a five-count indictment earlier this year from a Federal grand jury
for bank fraud. Alena Nicole George was indicted on March 12 on charges of bank
fraud and the use of unauthorized credit cards. Court documents revealed that
George used the personal information of people with similar names to her and got
credit cards in their names. She made over $100,000 in purchases and cash
advances on one of the cards. George could face a maximum penalty of 30 years in
prison and a $1 million fine for bank fraud if she is convicted. The U.S.
Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of California said that George also
faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine for the
unauthorized use of credit cards.

Update: Sydney, AU: Woman who made thousands selling stolen baby formula to

 A
Sydney mother, who made hundreds of thousands of dollars in a statewide baby
formula shoplifting ring before on selling the product to Chinese buyers at
inflated prices, has been jailed. Carlingford woman, Lie Ke, was sentenced to
two years and three months behind bars in Parramatta District Court on
Wednesday with a non-parole period of 18 months. As correctives attempted to put
handcuffs on the 50-year-old she started shaking and sobbing. The mass operation
spanned 15 months as suppliers stole tins from Coles, Woolworths, Chemist
Warehouse and IGA stores across Sydney, the Central Coast, and Newcastle. Ke and
her partner would meet up with ‘suppliers’ at deserted car parks in Berakla and
Carlingford where cash was exchanged, sometimes $12,000 at a time, but she
claims she didn’t know the goods were stolen.

on Contra Loma Blvd. just before 10 p.m. on a report of a man who was not
breathing after getting into a fight with a store employee. An investigation
revealed the 56-year-old Lucky’s employee caught the 34-year-old suspect trying
to steal meat from behind the butcher shop area of the store. When the worker
confronted the suspect, the suspect attacked him, he claimed. That’s when a
fight ensued and the suspect “stopped breathing for an unknown reason,”
according to police. The man died at the scene. The Lucky’s worker was taken to
a local hospital for treatment of injuries and is currently in stable condition.
Police say right now it’s not clear if the suspect died due to injuries in the
fight or if he had a medical emergency that led to his death. Officials said
they hope to learn more once an autopsy is conducted.

Cincinnati, OH: 1 arrested, 1 still wanted in Kenwood Towne Center parking lot
incident
 A
woman accused of assault during a fight in the parking lot of the Kenwood Towne
Center Tuesday says she wants to set the record straight over what happened.
Alicia Josshua, 48, was arrested around midnight Tuesday. She was released on
bond Wednesday morning. Her son, Joshua Ward, 23, is still wanted by
authorities. They got into a verbal argument with 55-year-old Brian Miller over
a parking space around 1:30 Tuesday afternoon, a news release from the sheriff’s
office said. The situation reportedly escalated, and both Josshua and Ward
assaulted Miller, causing serious injuries to his face. Josshua told FOX19
Wednesday the fight was not over a parking space, but over what she claims the
victim said to her and her daughter. Josshua says her daughter was standing in a
parking spot holding it for her sister. That’s when another driver tried to park
in the spot as Miller was standing by.

The "rumor mill" is a very treacherous and unforgiving world of fact and
fiction. That at times is filled with innuendos, accusations, untruths, and what
ever gets added to the information being talked about regarding companies and
people. Participating in it is human nature and we all know third party
information leaves a lot to be desired. So the rule of thumb should be to be
cautious about believing, try not to form an opinion until you've heard both
sides, understand the agendas that every one has, and most importantly be
careful about what you say.
Just a Thought,
Gus
