Investing.com - Apple said it would temporarily reclose stores in Houston, Texas, in the wake of rising Covid-19 infections. 

Shares of Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) fell 1.7% as the announcement did little to trigger further downside.  

Seven stores in the Houston area will temporarily close starting June 25, Apple said. 

Last week, the tech giant said it would close stores in Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Arizona following coronaviurs outbreaks in those areas.

The latest move comes a little over a month after Apple began reopening its U.S. stores.

If we had black death today with no antibiotics instead of covid 19, people would be jumping out of windows out of fear. Such panic. I think that the human race has evolved into psychologically weaker beings over the past fee centuries. The covid 19 mortality rate is around 0.2% for average working age people. Old people and kids do not consume much and do not work anyhow. Therefore a much better idea would be to impose restrictions on people below 18 and over 65, and let the rest continue with their lives as usual.
Why no store closings in CA ?  (Which happens to have the MOST new cases of any state.) Oh, that's right...CA is a Blue state.  OK, sorry, got it.
