The main thing in the world

• A study of about 200 coronavirus mutations showed that it has been widely spread in the human population since the end of 2019. It was then that he, apparently, moved from the owner-living to the master-man. The study did not reveal the presence of more or less dangerous strains.

• The release of the world from a unique deep crisis can go along the unique trajectory - “inflationary depression”, writes Bloomberg. Unlike the great depression, the current crisis did not cause the fall in the purchasing power of the population, and partially this is the “fault” of a large -scale manner. The increase in prices can become an acceptable tax substitute for increasing taxes for the authorities, economists reason.

• The UK chose a centralized model of a special application to control social contacts in order to identify foci of coronavirus spread. Since May, ordinary British can put it on their smartphones. The model is criticized for collecting geolocation data and potentially more vulnerable to hackers.

• The decentralized model is developed by Apple and Google - its “engine” (API) will be available to the authorities only if used exclusively in the fight against coronavirus and without access to geolocation. Both system model user contacts by the number of contacts of their smartphones through Bluetooth.

• Airbnb reduces a quarter of the staff and does not expect a return to the pre -virus model even after the pandemic. Small hotels that have lost support create their own direct buging services.
