And the Norwegian capital of Oslo banned gatherings of more than 10 people in private homes after a spike in cases and strongly urged people to wear face masks when traveling on public transportation amid a strike by bus drivers that forced many commuters to take the tram.
“The situation in Oslo is serious. This development must be stopped, and we have to do it now,” Mayor Raymond Johansen said.
Police in the Spanish capital of Madrid and its surrounding towns began stopping people going in and out of working-class neighborhoods that have been partially locked down to combat Europe’s fastest coronavirus spread.

why do I still feel the lockdowns worldwide could be part of the stop Trump campaign?
unfortunately, after first four minutes, Bolt talks to the typical Sky Australia reporter, Annelise Nielsen, in Wisconsin, who is in the US covering the election. she never exposes the pathetic nature of Biden’s campaign. you would think he’s a worthy opponent. however, she ends by saying it’s remarkable how many times she’s heard - in the six States she’s visited so far - that they will be voting for Trump, because he’s not a politician:

And they and their media made it happen.
