\u27a2 A store in Brazil has caused outrage after an employee who died was covered with umbrellas so the store could remain open. Manoel Cavalcante suffered a heart attack during his shift at the Carrefour supermarket. Instead of closing the store, his fellow staff members placed three large umbrellas and several boxes around his body to ensure it couldn\u2019t be seen. Unsuspecting customers carried on as usual, assuming the boxes and umbrellas were concealing a spill or a future display, until the morgue was able to retrieve the body more than 4 hours later. Following an online backlash, the store issued an apology.<\/p>\n

\u27a2 A Chinese Technology Company has sparked controversy on social media after videos of digital timers over employee toilet stalls went viral. They showed digital timers hanging over each cubicle and sensors installed on the cubicle doors to trigger the timers. Social media users slammed the company for monitoring and timing its workers\u2019 time in the toilet to increase productivity and profits. Their explanation? It claims the timers aren\u2019t meant to limit employees\u2019 toilet usage, but rather a solution to a \u201cserious\u201d toilet shortage problem<\/p>\n

positive for COVID 19, so\u00a0Florida Georgia Line<\/strong>\u00a0will NOT be performing at tomorrow night’s CMAs.\u00a0 As far as we know,\u00a0Brian Kelley<\/strong>\u00a0is okay.\u00a0 Tyler posted the news yesterday on\u00a0Instagram<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0saying that he “got the Rona,” is asymptomatic, and is quarantining on his tour bus.<\/p>\n His wife Hayley wrote on her Instagram\u00a0stories<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0that the family has been on lockdown since last week when Tyler got his first positive COVID test, and that he infected two other people.<\/p>\n One last thing.\u00a0 As you know,\u00a0Lee Brice<\/strong>\u00a0also\u00a0canceled<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0his appearance after testing positive, and his shoes have already been filled.\u00a0\u00a0Lady

<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n What Exactly Are the CMAs Doing to Protect Everyone from the Virus?<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n When the CMAs announced the show would NOT be virtual, I think we all wondered exactly how they planned to pull that off.\u00a0 Well, here are a few details.<\/p>\n Every single person is being tested “before entering the footprint” of the place.\u00a0 And many are being tested repeatedly.\u00a0 Everyone is required to wear the appropriate protective gear, and everyone “must practice social and physical distancing.”<\/p>\n There won’t be any fans, but there will be an audience of artists and industry people.\u00a0 They’ll be seated banquet-style with tables on the floor of the awards show area that are spaced eight feet apart.\u00a0 Only one artist and their guest will occupy each table.<\/p>\n There are always multiple stages at awards shows so that stays the same, but “deep cleaning protocols” will happen in between performances.\u00a0 That takes time, so around 40% of the 20 performances are being pre-recorded.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n CARLY PEARCE SAYS 2020 HAS GIVEN HER SOME \u2018BEAUTIFUL MOMENTS\u2019 <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

tells us more about her year so far\u2026\u00a0[\u201c2020\u2019s been interesting, but I think that there are beautiful moments.\u00a0 And for me, something that\u2019s been a beautiful constant thing for me during this hard year has been music.\u00a0 It\u2019s been country music and getting to create country music and then to be recognized in such a huge way.\u00a0 I love country music and it has saved my soul and this is just another way that it continues to save me and make me realize who I\u2019m supposed to be and what I want to do in life.\u201d]<\/p>\n The 54th Annual\u00a0CMA
