The company announced on Thursday that it would be closing 154 locations in 38 states after a “comprehensive review” of its “retail footprint.” JCPenney had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on May 15, after being hit hard by years of dwindling sales, the stalled economy, and nearly five billion dollars in mounting debt.

And even better news? After three rinses, the mouthwashes had all but eliminated any trace of the virus....
In an interview with The New York Times published on Nov. 19, Kaiser Health News Editor-in-Chief Elisabeth Rosenthal asked Fauci, “When do you think we’ll all be able to throw our masks away?” The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) director projected that the recent inoculation news meant that the timeline was becoming more clear, but that things wouldn’t necessarily go back to “normal” immediately. “I think that we’re going to have some degree of public health measures together with the vaccine for a considerable period of time,” he said, “but we’ll start approaching normal—if the overwhelming majority of people take the vaccine—as we get into the third or fourth quarter [of 2021]....

The good news? According to Experian’s 2020 Consumer Credit Review, credit scores rose throughout all 50 states last year, bringing the nation’s average FICO score up to a record-high 710.

Some say this particular issue is not caused by the distillers, but the professional reviewers (proactively and reactively) who consistently give awards to bottles that most consumers will never be able to buy....
