Microsoft has moved to close its physical retail stores around the world to focus on online stores and distributions.

It’s not very easy to sell products physically due to the cost it takes and the management system. Microsoft has today announced plans to permanently close all the company retail Store locations in the United States and around the globe, except for four locations that will be “reimagined” as experience centers that no longer sell products even before the company comes to this very decision.

Those places that are not close are located in the USA and they are New York City (Fifth Ave), London (Oxford Circus), Sydney (Westfield Sydney), and the Redmond campus location. The other USA and global locations are going to be closed down on the agreed date by the company while the company will focus on digital retail onward. Meanwhile, the London location was just open a year ago.

Microsoft Reason Of Closing Down Retails Shops
According to the stat the company released, the company said that Microsoft.com and the Xbox and Windows storefronts reach “up to 1.2 billion monthly customers in 190 markets” meaning they are not making much on the company retire shop.

According to the verge, the company said that no layoffs will result from today’s decision. “Our commitment to growing and developing careers from this diverse talent pool is stronger than ever,” Microsoft Store VP David Porter said in a LinkedIn post on the move.

The Verge also added that “this plan was originally in place for next year, but was accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Microsoft’s Xbox Series X is launching this holiday, so it makes sense that the company had at least initially planned for the stores to make it that far”. “The dual-screen Surface Neo device that was also going to ship during the holidays has been delayed, though the Surface Duo is apparently still on track for this year”. “Still, if you were hoping your local Microsoft Store would be a surefire bet for a new Xbox, you’ll have to look elsewhere”.

From the above report, we can clearly see the reason why Microsoft has decided to close down its retail shops around the globe. according to The Verge “approach for re-opening Microsoft Store locations is measured and cautious, guided by monitoring global data, listening to public health and safety experts, and tracking local government restrictions.” At the time, the company declined to offer an update on when any stores might open again.

Due to the COVID-19 Microsoft stores have not been in an operation and has lack been lacking in many aspects, but the company products continue to sell even if they are no functioning retail shops across the USA. “The company is taking cautions restarting their retail shop since the COVID-19 pandemic is relaxing,” said Microsoft on a LinkedIn post. In order to avoid a resurgence of the novel coronavirus — most malls remain closed to date waiting for things to relax well. There have already been spikes of COVID-19 cases in regions with more relaxed guidelines, which has led Apple to re-close some stores where it had only recently welcomed customers back in.


Microsoft outline in a blog post about the numbers of retail store associates had shifted to the remote work after the job done everyday sidelined. The company also keeps providing regular payment to the team members through the COVID-19 Pandemic. The company said “Our retail team members will continue to serve customers working from Microsoft corporate facilities or remotely and we will continue to develop our diverse team in support of the overall company mission and objectives,”

Each of the company stores showcases the company’s Surface and Xbox hardware, plus a selection of third-party PCs.

Recently people have been worried about the 5g radiation symptoms and how to know you are being cocked by 5G radiation, but before I will attend to this discussion I would love to point out something but first, we should do some check and balance here. The world has come so far in technology and internet I mean look back to the 1980s and 1990s you will testify that things has never remained the same in any way at all but the question is as we have gotten Far and has gotten to this level of artificial intelligent era what are the damages we may have brought along or the damages we may face if development stays steady on the statics it is on now, what are the damages the world may face tomorrow when things get more computerized and artificial intelligence are applied all around our daily lives?

THE HEALING OF THE OZONE LAYER

When this Coronavirus came in and everyone was asked to stay at home, workers were asked to work from home, there were no cars on the road, no plane flying in the sky, no train on the railway nor human to interfere with the affairs of the universe then animals were free to move around anywhere that pleases them, the earth started going back to it a natural state because there were no toxic fumes to contaminate the air and the ozone layer, so what now happened? the ozone layer started healing, the whole that scientists said would take hundreds of years to be healed actually took a month to heal and has become whole again. This terms to teach us one thing and that is that the technology advancement and the 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G radiation was not only damaging humanity but also the earth at large, if 2G, 3G, and 4G could do this harm to the ozone layer what more of we fragile human that can be broking into pieces?

HOW WILL 5G DAMAGE YOU AND YOUR SYSTEM

I would love to take our thought back to when 1G was launched in the 1980s the world faced a very horrific epidemic that brought the Influenza 1979 diseases that took many lives with it, then 2G was launched which brought about the Cholera 1991 diseases that also took it own lives, 3G came in and a more deadly Influenza 1998 came to humanity and next was 4G which brought H1N1 2009 with it then 5G is here and we started suffering the coronavirus. But one thing was that our human system got used to the radiation of the previous 1G, 2G, 3G, 4G though 4G gave us some problem you see the 5G radiation I don’t think our system will ever get used to it anytime soon unless supper humans will be manufactured may be in the lab then we are sure that human race will be spared and there are people that can keep the race going. 5G has a millimeter-wave band (26, 28, 38, and 60 GHz) are 5G and offer performance as high as 20 gigabits per second; Massive MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output – 64-256 antennas) offers performance “up to ten times current 4G networks;” “Low-band 5G” and “Mid-band 5G” use frequencies from 600 MHz to 6 GHz, especially 3.5-4.2, do you know what that can do to your health? I don’t think you have any idea, you can go to MIWV and do some research.

A 104-year-old grandma who has never been arrested by the police as she has never been on the wrong side of the law, has finally had her wish come true after she requested that the Police have her arrested.

Anne Brokenbrow, who is a resident at Stokeleigh Care Home in Stoke Bishop, Bristol, was ‘detained’ by two officers as part of a charity event, Daily Mail reports.

The home is one of five facilities in the area participating in the Wishing Washing Line initiative.

And just a few days later her dream came true when three police officers came to her home, handcuffed her and sat her in the police car.

When he arrived at her care home in Stoke Bishop, Bristol, PC Stephen Harding from Bridewell Police Station told her:

“I’m arresting you on the grounds of being an upstanding citizen for the past 104 years.”

She told staff at her care home her desire to be arrested as part of a charity scheme where residents write down what they want most, and organisers then emailed the police to see if they could make it happen.

Anne – who has never committed a crime – grinned as local officers arrested and bundled her into a cop car.

She said:

“I had a lovely day it was interesting. Nothing like that ever happened to me before. They put the handcuffs on, I had the lot.

“What did it feel like being a criminal? Well it will make me much more careful of what I say and do. But the police were very nice throughout.

“It was a very pleasant interlude. And its been a very eventful day. I get to a lot of different activities here – I have a go at everything, they’re very nice to me.”

The Director-General of the agency, Sani Aliyu, made this known during the announcement of the NAIIS result at the Banquet Hall of the State House, Abuja on Thursday.

He added that the percentage of People Living with HIV (PLHIV) in Nigeria, among the age group of 15-49 years, is about 1.4 per cent (1.9 per cent among females and 0.9 per cent among males.)

He also added that viral suppression among PLHIV aged 15 to 49 years old with access to treatment stands at 42.3 per cent (45.3 per cent among women and 34.5 per cent among men).

The latest data differentiates HIV prevalence by state, indicating an epidemic that is having a masive impact in certain areas of the country.

South-South area of the country has the highest HIV prevalence, at 3.1 per cent among those aged 15–49 years. HIV prevalence among the same age group in the North Central zone is 2.0 per cent, and in the South East zone (1.9%). The prevalence is lower in the South West zone (1.1 per cent), the North East zone (1.1 per cent) and the North West zone (0.6 per cent).

Mr Aliyu said it is important for all people living with HIV to get treatment and achieve viral suppression.

He added the government and its partners have what it takes to support people who are HIV-positive, “to provide treatment, to protect their families and to help people live long and healthy lives.”

The federal government launched the National AIDS survey in June 2018 to determine the true distribution of HIV and AIDS, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C in the country.

The survey, which is the largest in the world reached around 220,000 people in about 100,000 households and was conducted between July and December 2018.

Before the commencement of the survey, about three million Nigerians were estimated to be living with HIV and about 1.1 million of them currently receiving treatment.

In his goodwill message, the Executive Director of UNAIDS, Michel Sidibé, said the improved understanding of the country’s HIV epidemic would allow Nigeria to better reach people living with HIV and people at higher risk of acquiring HIV.

“I commend the Government of Nigeria and its partners for conducting this ambitious survey, which provides us with a much better understanding of the country’s HIV epidemic.

“While it is fantastic news that there are fewer people living with HIV in Nigeria than previously thought, we must not let down our guard.

according to Metro UK a God fearing cleaner has surprised many after returning a 300,000 pounds (N143,262,775.35) found inside a bus in London.

The unnamed honest worker from Cordant Cleaner discovered the cash on a London bus and made the hard decision to hand it into the Met Police.

It appears like a troubled minded passenger left the brown envelope filled with bank notes, which was only discovered when the vehicle was being cleaned.

And finding the cash must’ve been a dream compared to some of the items Cordant cleaners have to deal with on a daily basis. Some of their colleagues have been met with intimacy gadgets, nasty shit, soiled nappies, used tampons, false teeth and – not to mention both vomit and poo.

Cordant boss Guy Pakenham said: ‘More often than not I’m left shocked when my team tells me about the disgusting things they have to get rid of when cleaning buses up and down the UK.

‘But I can only praise their dedication and good humor. They don’t seem to be fazed by anything. ‘Thankfully our staff are fully trained and equipped to deal with cleaning hazards like these.
