Covid Holocaust deniers in Europe
The covid-19 deniers’ army appears to be gaining strength. After months of protests in the United States protesting restrictions and mandatory mask use, Europe and the UK are now ending anti-rona rallies where other people say regulations violate their basic freedoms. Over the weekend, thousands of Covid-19 deniers accumulated in Berlin, London, Paris, Vienna and Zurich, calling for an end to the measures of “covid deception” and calling the disease a “conspiracy” and restrictions a form of “new fascism.” “.

Autumn and luxury
The luxury industry is under pressure: the collapse of inventory market positions, the slowdown in regional economies, the preference of younger generations for sustainability (see chart) and covid-19. More than 40% of the world’s luxury goods production takes place in Italy, which has been grappling with one of the world’s worst epidemics. Bain and Company estimates that revenue in the luxury sector will contract by between 20 and 35% by 2020, although luxury will also recover quickly. Also in the 2009 crisis, sales fell by 25% but traditional luxury brands resisted. This year, Hermes, LVMH, Ferrari and others reported a drop in sales at the time of the quarter, ranging from 38 to 44%, but analysts are optimistic. China began paving the way for a recovery as it did after 2009. Online sales have increased and the Internet channel can account for only 30% of the market position until 2025, Bain predicts.

It’s a men’s tennis union.
World No. 1 tennis player Novak Djokovic has resigned as chairman of the ATP Players Council to form a player union to solve problems such as the source of profit participation, player pensions and insurance. Women are not included. Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer did not register and asked for a unity in world tennis even as the U.S. Open begins monday, while Andy Murray said he was not in favor of the arrangement of professional tennis players. Djokovic first raised the concept of a player union at the 2018 Australian Open and demanded a higher percentage of the winnings generated through Grand Slam tournaments. On Saturday, after earning the most of the South and Western Open, fitting the first player to win all Masters titles twice, Djokovic described the new arrangement as “an allowance for many players and many other generations over the more than 20 years.” 60 to 70 players have been registered for the settlement.
