How are they finding so many new votes now? Are they still from Election day? It really is taking forever to count all of them...
Some states accept ballots received after election day, as long as they are post stamped no later than 3 November.

Senate control hangs in balance with a few races undecided
Control of the Senate hung in the balance Thursday, a cliffhanger after Republicans trounced Democratic challengers in crucial states but failed to lock down the seats needed to retain their tenuous majority.
One race in Georgia is headed to a January runoff. A second contest in Georgia and races in North Carolina and Alaska remain undecided, leaving the chamber now deadlocked 48-48. An outcome may not be known until the new year.

Almost 20 % of all Danish mink farms have been infected with the new coronavirus, and the Danish health authorities have now identified a mutated version of the coronavirus, which has been traced to five different mink farms.
So far, the new mutation has spread to at least 12 humans, who have been found to have a weak reaction to SARS-CoV-2 antibodies. This could mean that any future COVID-19 vaccine will not have the intended effect.
Therefore, the Danish government has now decided to cull all mink farms in Denmark. Denmark is the world's far biggest producer of mink fur, and it has been estimated that between 15 and 17 million minks will need to be put down.

I'm so sorry for your loss, @Nikki!
To some extent, I can relate to how you're feeling. My own dad died very suddenly from a heart attack two and a half years ago, and there are so many things about our last conversation that I would have changed if I had known it would be our last.
But I can't imagine how difficult it must be to deal with the death of a close relative during a pandemic

The number of daily cases in Denmark has now shot past 800, for the first time during the pandemic.
Therefore, the restrictions already in place will remain until 2 January 2021, and several new measures have been announced:
As from next Monday:
- The limit on mass gatherings will be lowered to 10 people, for the time being until 22 November. Additionally, the government recommends that people limit their social contacts to no more than 10 different people besides household members and colleagues.
- Selling alcohol will be banned between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m., for the time being until 22 November.
As from next Thursday:
- Wearing face masks or shields will be mandatory not only in public transportation, but in all indoor places with public access, e.g. shops, malls, cinemas, museums, libraries, and educational institutions - for the time being until 2 January.
-
Infection rates are on the rise in most of Denmark, and one third of all people currently hospitalised with Covid-19 in Denmark are younger than 45 years old. Therefore, several restrictions that have applied only to the Greater Copenhagen Area so far will now be implemented nationwide as of tomorrow noon, for the time being up to and including 4 October.
- Restaurants, bars and cafes will be required to close no later than 10 p.m. And they will be required to display signs stating their maximum capacity.
- Guests at restaurants, bars and cafes will be required to wear a face mask or shield, except when seated. The same requirement applies to employees who have contact with guests.
- The upper limit on public gatherings will be reduced from 100 to 50 people. Seated events are still excepted, with the upper limit remaining 500 people.
- The scheme allowing more than 500 spectators for Super League football matches will be suspended.
Additionally, the Danish government recommends that everyone works from home to the extent that it is possible. The government is also strongly urging against gatherings of more than 10 people in private homes. People should limit social interactions to their very closest family and friends.

And got paid $20,000 (or was it’s 30?), his contribution was deemed too minimal for him to benefit from having a writing credit. He said his pay got taken away by the taxman so had a try at calling out M for not crediting songwriters.
....hmmmm well I guess he’s nothing to loose and worked out in his favour. But it was annoying to see all those other celebs and singers supporting his claims of not being credited as if it wasn’t his decision in the first place.
I think it would be great to “credit” all the people involved in a songwriting process. But from what I understand, you either choose to get paid for your time or you take smaller payment and take publishing which gives you a writing credit, where you’re then able to gain royalties......I’m no expert, but think it work a little like that.
I don't know exactly when it happened, but I just noticed that ASCAP has officially added Casey Spooner as a co-writer of "God Control".

The Danish Prime Minister just announced that, as of 22 August, wearing face masks will be required by passengers and staff in all types of public transport in all of Denmark, including buses, trains, ferries and taxis. The requirement also applies to train stations, bus stops and ferry terminals.
Futhermore, Danish health authorities recommend that people at higher risk of developing severe illness from COVID-19 wear face masks in shops and indoor malls.
-
As of today, people in 5 municipalities in and around Aarhus are required to wear face marks on public transportation.
The city of Aarhus currently accounts for about half of all new Danish cases of Covid-19.

I'm very sorry but I do think we are for a big surprise once we know how this virus really works. All those measures were mandatory in Spain since April/ May and since June positives are rising like crazy. It makes absolutely no sense
Here, it seems to me that many people in Denmark are no longer taking personal hygiene and physical distancing recommendations as seriously as they did a few months ago.
Furthermore, refugees and immigrants from non-European countries are significantly over-represented among new coronavirus cases in Denmark, currently accounting for more than half of all new cases. I'm not sure why that is the case.

It's astonishing, to say the least, that masks weren't mandatory in public transport until now.
Meanwhile masks were mandatory in transport and indoors public spaces in Spain since the beginning (since we had enough masks) and now on the street and yet we have so many cases again.
I'm sorry but next time anybody tells me how good other countries handle the pandemic I will laugh out loud
From the very start of the Covid-19 pandemic, Danish health authorities have actually advised the general public against wearing face masks in public, mainly because there was no evidence that doing has an effect on transmission of the virus.
And that's the main reason why the general public isn't required to wear face masks in Denmark, apart from airports, and why wearing face masks is recommended only in certain situations.
The measures that seem to have had the biggest effect in Denmark are the physical distancing requirements, the ban on mass gatherings, and of course maintaining good hand hygiene.

Denmark is currently registering its highest number of new coronavirus cases since mid-May, mainly due to a local outbreak at one particular meat processing plant.
Meanwhile, Danish health authorities just extended their recommendations for the use of face masks in certain situations. Danes are now recommended to wear face masks on public transport during rush hour or on tightly packed buses, trains and ferries.
Additionally, Danish health authorities recommending using masks when travelling home from areas considered high-risk or on the way to being tested for coronavirus.
Airports are the only places in Denmark where face masks are required.
