Different countries are fairing differently due to different rules, some are working , some are not. I have been working continuously since day 1 without a problem. If everyone made the choice toprotect themselves then this pandemic would have gone away by now. Unfortunately some people think that rules don't apply to them !

H.H. Holmes was a horrible guy. You can still go to Chicago and still see his “murder Castle” In their, there are mechanisms designed to kill people that are just horrible. He is often known as America’s first serial killers, and killed people so he could claim their money. He wrote forged wills to do this
