• A survey by Amazon reveals half of the respondents now believe they are underemployed.  To wit, my only question is:  JUST HALF??    
• Exercise guru Jillian Michaels said she got the virus several weeks ago from the friend who usually does her hair and nails -- literally just a small "letting down of the guard".
• Now the Halloween cancellations:  No trick or treat in LA County this year.

• At least 500,000 children have been diagnosed with the virus.
• A Pennsylvania small-college football player has died of complications due to the virus.

• Vaccine hopes have stalled due to a UK trial being stopped because at least one person may have gotten something else from the vaccine...
