It is the first time that the agency has warned people away from traditional holiday celebrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe safest way to celebrate Thanksgiving this year is at home with members of your household,\u201d said Erin Sauber-Schatz, who leads the agency\u2019s community intervention and critical population task force. She urged Americans to reassess plans for the coming week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The CDC\u2019s warning runs counter to messages from administration officials, who have denounced concerns that Thanksgiving celebrations will speed the virus\u2019s spread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Members of the White House coronavirus task force did not even mention Thanksgiving at a news conference Thursday, even as they warned of the hazards associated with indoor gatherings and urged \u201cvigilance\u201d in the face of rampant infections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An estimated 55 million Americans had planned to travel for the holiday, according to AAA Travel. But rising coronavirus infections, new quarantine rules and increased unemployment have combined to deter travelers in the past few weeks, and that number will be at least 10% lower now, the largest year-over-year decrease since 2008.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>United Airlines said recently that it expected Thanksgiving week to be its busiest period since the pandemic\u2019s onset. But on Thursday, the airline reported that bookings had slowed and cancellations had risen. American Airlines has slashed flights between the United States and Europe as cases rise sharply on both sides of the Atlantic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Emboldened CDC officials, rarely heard from in recent months, have been speaking more forcefully since President-elect Joe Biden won the election. On Thursday, agency researchers said they were alarmed by the \u201cexponential\u201d rise in coronavirus infections, hospitalizations and deaths across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More than 1 million new cases have been reported in the past week alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>surge\u3000\u6025\u4e0a\u6607\u3001\u6025\u5897<br>at odds with\u3000\uff5e\u3068\u4e0d\u548c\u3067 (\u5bfe\u7acb\u3057\u3066)<br>intervention\u3000\u4ecb\u5165\u3001\u4ecb\u5728<br>reassess\u3000\uff5e\u3092\u898b\u76f4\u3059<br>vigilance\u3000\u8b66\u6212\u3001\u7528\u5fc3<br>rampant\u3000\u307e\u3093\u5ef6\u3057\u305f\u3001\u5e83\u304c\u3063\u305f<br>year-over-year \u524d\u5e74\u6bd4 (\u306e)<br>slash (\u4e88\u7b97\u30fb\u5024\u6bb5\u30fb\u4eba\u54e1\u306a\u3069\u3092) \u5927\u5e45\u306b\u524a\u6e1b\u3059\u308b<br>embolden\u3000\u52c7\u6c17\u3065\u3051\u308b\u3001\u5927\u80c6\u306b\u3059\u308b<br>exponential\u3000\u6025\u6fc0\u306a\u3001\u6307\u6570\u95a2\u6570\u7684\u306a<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2><span id=\"1122\">11\/22(\u65e5)\u306e\u653e\u9001<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure><iframe src=\"https:\/\/voicy.jp\/embed\/channel\/1111\/109749\" width=\"100%\" height=\"385\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5>Apple Halves Its App Store Fee for the Smaller Companies<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>\u8457\u8005\uff1aJack Nicas<br>(c) 2020 The New York Times Company<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apple, facing growing antitrust scrutiny over what it charges other companies for access to its App Store, said Wednesday that it would cut in half the fee it took from the smallest app developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Developers that brought in $1 million or less from their apps in the previous year will pay a 15% commission on those app sales starting next year, down from 30%, the company said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The move, which will have little impact on Apple\u2019s bottom line, is an abrupt change from the company\u2019s public intransigence over its fees. For 12 years, the App Store has helped fuel Apple\u2019s remarkable growth, and the company has appeared reluctant to do anything to tamper with it. Even when its fee policy emerged as the focus of antitrust complaints, Apple aggressively defended it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now Apple appears to have found a way to earn good will from thousands of developers and give its executives ammunition for defending its commission to regulators and journalists, all without costing the company much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The change will affect roughly 98% of the companies that pay Apple a commission, according to estimates from Sensor Tower, an app analytics firm. But those developers accounted for less than 5% of App Store revenues last year, Sensor Tower said. Apple said the new rate would affect the \u201cvast majority\u201d of its developers but declined to offer specific numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apple said in a statement that it had made the change because 2020 was a difficult year for many small companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re launching this program to help small-business owners write the next chapter of creativity and prosperity on the App Store, and to build the kind of quality apps our customers love,\u201d Tim Cook, Apple\u2019s chief executive, said in a news release. The smaller commission will help \u201cdevelopers fund their small businesses, take risks on new ideas, expand their teams, and continue to make apps that enrich people\u2019s lives,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fee cut probably won\u2019t calm the waters between Apple and the larger app developers that have long protested the fee most loudly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Epic Games, maker of the popular game Fortnite, sued Apple in August over its fee. A month later, 13 companies and groups, including Spotify and Match Group, formed the nonprofit Coalition for App Fairness to fight the \u201capp tax.\u201d And U.S. and European regulators are investigating Apple for anti-competitive behavior, partly because of its commission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>Halves \u534a\u5206\u306b\u3059\u308b<br>Antitrust \u72ec\u5360\u7981\u6b62<br>Scrutiny \u7cbe\u5bc6\u306a\u8abf\u67fb<br>Bottom line \u6700\u7d42\u5229\u76ca<br>Abrupt \u4e0d\u610f\u306e\u3001\u7a81\u7136\u306e<br>Intransigence \u59a5\u5354\u3057\u306a\u3044\u3053\u3068<br>Reluctant \u3044\u3084\u3044\u3084\u306a\u304c\u3089<br>Tamper \u52dd\u624b\u306b\u3044\u3058\u308b\u3001\u6539\u3056\u3093\u3059\u308b<br>Good will \u597d\u610f\u3001\u5584\u610f<br>Ammunition \u5f3e\u4e38<br>Prosperity \u7e41\u6804<br>Enrich \u8c4a\u5bcc\u306b\u3059\u308b<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2><span id=\"1123\">11\/23(\u6708)\u306e\u653e\u9001<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure><iframe src=\"https:\/\/voicy.jp\/embed\/channel\/1111\/109884\" width=\"100%\" height=\"385\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5>GM Accelerates Its Ambitions for Electric Vehicles<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>\u8457\u8005\uff1aNeal E. Boudette<br>(c) 2020 The New York Times Company<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>General Motors is gearing up an all-out push to catch up to Tesla in electric vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The automaker said Thursday that it was accelerating plans to introduce electric cars and trucks over the next five years, and that it expected to spend $27 billion by 2025 on the effort, up from a previous budget of $20 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe think the industry is transforming, and to lead it, you\u2019ve got to be better than other folks,\u201d said Doug Parks, a GM executive vice president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although Tesla \u201chas got a good jump\u201d and a number of startups are focused on electric vehicles, he said, \u201cwe\u2019re not going to cede leadership.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CEO Mary Barra was scheduled to elaborate on GM\u2019s accelerated strategy Thursday afternoon at an investor conference convened by Barclays Capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cClimate change is real, and we want to be part of the solution,\u201d Barra said in a statement. \u201cWe are resolved as a management team to move even faster to expedite the transition to EVs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Parks said GM aimed to introduce 30 electric models around the world by 2025, about 10 more than it had previously disclosed. Twenty will be available in the United States. Among the first will be a Hummer electric sport utility vehicle that is supposed to arrive in showrooms late next year. A Cadillac SUV, called the Lyriq, is now due in the first quarter of 2022, nine months earlier than previously planned, Parks said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other models will include an electric pickup truck and SUV for its Chevrolet brand, as well as other models \u201cat all price points,\u201d Parks said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said the company expected its Ultium modular battery packs to provide a range up 450 miles before needing a recharge. Earlier this year, GM said the maximum range would be about 400 miles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>GM hopes to produce the battery packs for other automakers and has formed a partnership to supply Honda Motor. \u201cScale can give us an incredible competitive advantage,\u201d Parks said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>GM is building a factory near Lordstown, Ohio, to make Ultium packs. Last week, the company said it aimed to hire some 3,000 electrical and software engineers to support its EV effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>gear up \u6e96\u5099\u3092\u6574\u3048\u308b<br>all-out 1 \u7dcf\u529b\u3092\u3042\u3052\u3066\u306e\u3001\u5168\u9762\u7684\u306a<br>*make an all-out effort: \u5168\u529b\u3092\u5c3d\u304f\u3059<br>cede \u8b72\u308b\u3001\u5f15\u304d\u6e21\u3059<br>elaborate on \u8a73\u3057\u304f\u8a71\u3059<br>convene \u62db\u96c6\u3059\u308b<br>*convene a meeting\/conference\/committee<br>resolve\u6c7a\u610f\u3059\u308b\u3001\u6c7a\u5fc3\u3059\u308b<br>expedite \u52a0\u901f\u3059\u308b<br>\u3010\u30e9\u30c6\u30f3\u8a9e: ex: \u5916\u306b\u3001pedis: \u8db3\u306b\u4ed8\u3044\u305f\u9396]<br>Ultium modular battery pack \u30a2\u30eb\u30c6\u30a3\u30a6\u30e0\u30e2\u30b8\u30e5\u30e9\u30fc\u5f0f\u30d0\u30c3\u30c6\u30ea\u30fc\u30d1\u30c3\u30af<br>range \u822a\u7d9a\u8ddd\u96e2<br>[\u756a\u5916\u7de8]<br>EV = electric vehicle: \u96fb\u6c17\u81ea\u52d5\u8eca<br>SUV = sport utility vehicle: \u30b9\u30dd\u30fc\u30c4\u7528\u591a\u76ee\u7684\u8eca<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2><span id=\"1124\">11\/24(\u706b)\u306e\u653e\u9001<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure><iframe src=\"https:\/\/voicy.jp\/embed\/channel\/1111\/110076\" width=\"100%\" height=\"385\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5>An Unlikely Thanksgiving Tradition Carries On<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>\u8457\u8005\uff1aMarie Fazio<br>(c) 2020 The New York Times Company<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Four years ago, Wanda Dench didn\u2019t know her grandson had changed his phone number when she invited him to her house for Thanksgiving dinner at 3 p.m. sharp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First there was confusion from the apparent stranger on the receiving end of the text, then an exchange of selfies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou not my grandma,\u201d texted Jamal Hinton, then a 17-year-old high school senior. \u201cCan I still get a plate though?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOf course you can,\u201d Dench, now 63, of Mesa, Arizona, responded. \u201cThat\u2019s what grandma\u2019s do \u2026 feed every one.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus began a holiday tradition that has charmed the world. Hinton tweeted photos of their exchange, promptly drawing the internet\u2019s attention; Dench received so many requests for plates that year that she had to change her number. A few weeks later, Hinton took Dench up on the offer, and the pair and their families celebrated that Thanksgiving together \u2014 and each one since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their holiday tradition has drawn attention every year. Dench even has an entry as \u201cThanksgiving Grandma\u201d at KnowYourMeme, the online database of the internet\u2019s favorite moments. When her husband, Lonnie, died of COVID-19 in April, it, too, made headlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year\u2019s holiday will be different for Thanksgiving Grandma, as it will for millions of other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dench and Hinton held a small dinner on Friday, where they gave thanks and talked about their friendship and Lonnie Dench\u2019s death, Wanda Dench said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI always remember Lonnie looking at the bright side of things,\u201d Hinton said. \u201cHe would want us to celebrate his life instead of hating COVID and hating everything.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As more than a quarter of a million people in the United States have died from the coronavirus, a collective grief has swept the country. In many households, the loss is personal and tangible: an empty seat at the dinner table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Dench and Hinton first met, the country was going through a similarly turbulent time during an election year with heated racial tension, Hinton said.

Michele Roberts, the executive director of the National Basketball Players Association, joined Kyle Korver, Sterling Brown, Anthony Tolliver, Marco Belinelli and Jonathan Isaac, players who are all active in the union, at the meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI thought it was a fraud email that I got,\u201d Korver, who plays on the Milwaukee Bucks, said. \u201cI called Michele right away.

The players took turns addressing the pope and offered him a book documenting many of their community and social initiatives in the last few months as well as jerseys and a Black Lives Matter T-shirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHe said sport is such an opportunity to unify, and he compared it to a team, where you have a common goal and you\u2019re working together, but you all use your own personalities,\u201d Korver said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the players, the meeting provided an opportunity to expand global awareness of the efforts to promote social justice after the deaths of several Black Americans at the hands of the police, including George Floyd in Minnesota, and the police shooting of Jacob Blake in Wisconsin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brown and Korver were members of the Milwaukee Bucks team that initiated a work stoppage throughout sports in August. Confined inside the NBA\u2019s so-called bubble environment in Orlando, Florida, the Bucks players refused to take part in a scheduled playoff game after the shooting of Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Their protest quickly spread to other teams and other sports, forcing the postponement of games in the WNBA, Major League Baseball and Major League Soccer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>delegation\u3000\u4ee3\u8868\u56e3<br>efforts\u3000\uff08\u554f\u984c\u306b\u5bfe\u3059\u308b\uff09\u53d6\u308a\u7d44\u307f<br>social justice\u3000\u793e\u4f1a\u6b63\u7fa9<br>extend an invitation\u3000\u62db\u5f85\u3059\u308b<br>fraud\u3000\u8a50\u6b3a<br>stunned\u3000\u5446\u7136\u3068\u3059\u308b<br>unify\u3000\u7d71\u4e00\u3059\u308b<br>confined\u3000\u9589\u3058\u8fbc\u3081\u3089\u308c\u305f<br>so-called\u3000\u3044\u308f\u3086\u308b<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2><span id=\"1126\">11\/26(\u6728)\u306e\u653e\u9001<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure><iframe src=\"https:\/\/voicy.jp\/embed\/channel\/1111\/110338\" width=\"100%\" height=\"385\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5>AstraZeneca\u2019s Coronavirus Vaccine, Easy and Cheap to Produce, Appears Effective<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>\u8457\u8005\uff1aRebecca Robbins and Benjamin Mueller<br>(c) 2020 The New York Times Company<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AstraZeneca and the University of Oxford announced on Monday that their inexpensive, easy-to-produce coronavirus vaccine appears effective, the latest in a string of encouraging results this month from leading vaccine developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An early analysis of data from late-stage clinical trials found that AstraZeneca\u2019s vaccine was either 62% or 90% effective, depending on the manner in which the doses were given.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the overall efficacy of the vaccine remains unclear, the encouraging preliminary results indicate that it has the potential to become a powerful new weapon in the war on the pandemic, which has killed more than 1.3 million people worldwide since January and is still spreading rapidly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AstraZeneca said it expected to begin distributing the vaccine this year and that it would be able to make up to 3 billion doses next year. At two doses per person, that would be enough to inoculate nearly 1 in 5 people worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike some other leading vaccine candidates, the AstraZeneca offering can be quickly produced in vast quantities, will cost only a few dollars per dose and is easy to store for long periods. That could substantially expand the number of countries and people that have access to the vaccine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AstraZeneca\u2019s announcement came on the heels of Pfizer and Moderna releasing trial results that showed their vaccines to both be about 95% effective. Those vaccines, however, can only be kept outside of ultracold freezers for a few weeks, making their distribution and storage more challenging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The price of AstraZeneca\u2019s shot, at $3 to $4, is a fraction of the cost of some other vaccines. AstraZeneca has pledged to make it available at cost around the world until at least July 2021 and in poorer countries in perpetuity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The varying effectiveness of AstraZeneca\u2019s vaccine reflected differences in how doses were administered in the late-stage trials. In the dosing plan that was 90% effective, study participants were given a half-dose of the vaccine and then, a month later, a full dose. The vaccine was less effective when people were given a standard full dose upfront, followed a month later by another full dose. On average, the vaccine was 70% effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>a string of \u4e00\u9023\u306e<br>encouraging \u52b1\u307f\u3068\u306a\u308b<br>dose \u6295\u4e0e\u91cf\u3001(\u85ac\u306e)1\u56de\u5206<br>up to \u6700\u5927\u301c\u307e\u3067<br>inoculate (\u4eba\u306a\u3069)\u306b\u4e88\u9632\u63a5\u7a2e\u3059\u308b<br>substantially \u5341\u5206\u306b\u3001\u76f8\u5f53\u306b<br>freezer \u6025\u901f\u51b7\u51cd\u5eab\u3001\u51b7\u51cd\u5ba4<br>a fraction of A A\u306e\u4e00\u90e8(\u306b\u3059\u304e\u306a\u3044)<br>at cost \u539f\u4fa1\u3067\u3001\u4ed5\u5165\u308c\u5024\u6bb5\u3067<br>in perpetuity \u6c38\u4e45\u306b<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2><span id=\"1127\">11\/27(\u91d1)\u306e\u653e\u9001<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure><iframe src=\"https:\/\/voicy.jp\/embed\/channel\/1111\/110628\" width=\"100%\" height=\"385\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5>Illegal Tampering by Diesel Pickup Owners Is Worsening Pollution, EPA Says<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>\u8457\u8005\uff1aCoral Davenport<br>(c) 2020 The New York Times Company<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WASHINGTON \u2014 The owners and operators of more than a half-million diesel pickup trucks have been illegally disabling their vehicles\u2019 emissions control technology over the past decade, allowing excess emissions equivalent to 9 million extra trucks on the road, a new federal report has concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The practice, described in a report by the Environmental Protection Agency\u2019s Office of Civil Enforcement, has echoes of the Volkswagen scandal of 2015, when the automaker was found to have illegally installed devices in millions of diesel passenger cars worldwide \u2014 including about a half-million in the United States \u2014 designed to trick emissions control monitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But in this case no single corporation is behind the subterfuge; it is the truck owners themselves who are installing illegal devices, which are typically manufactured by small companies. That makes it much more difficult to measure the full scale of the problem, which is believed to affect many more vehicles than the 500,000 or so estimated in the report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of the pollution impact in the United States, \u201cThis is far more alarming and widespread than the Volkswagen scandal,\u201d said Drew Kodjak, executive director of the International Council on Clean Transportation. \u201cBecause these are trucks, the amount of pollution is far, far higher.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The EPA focused just on devices installed in heavy pickup trucks, such as the Chevrolet Silverado and the Dodge Ram 2500, about 15% of which appear to have defeat devices installed. But such devices \u2014 commercially available and marketed as a way to improve vehicle performance \u2014 almost certainly have been installed in millions of other vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The report was completed last week, although the EPA has not publicized it or issued a news release. Word got out after Evan Belser, the deputy director of the office\u2019s Air Enforcement Division, emailed a copy of the report to the heads of three state air pollution control organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe aftermarket defeat device problem is huge,\u201d said Phillip Brooks, a former EPA emissions investigator who worked on the diesel tuner investigation and the Volkswagen case. \u201cA lot of people just don\u2019t understand what the problem is \u2014 your average person buys a vehicle and says, it\u2019s my vehicle, I can do what I want with it.
