Christmas sales in the United States had their biggest increase in 17 years, despite inflation, shortages of some products and the new variant of the coronavirus, according to a specialized figure.
Mastercard Spending Pulse, which tracks all kinds of expenses including credit and debit cards, reported Sunday that Christmas sales increased by 8.5% over the previous year. The firm had anticipated a 7.4% increase.
The results, which span from November 1 to December 24, were driven mostly by purchases of clothing and jewelry.
Sales increased 10.7% compared to what they were just before the pandemic, in 2019.
By category, clothing sales increased by 47%, jewelry 32% and electronics 16%.
The Online sales were up 11% compared to the previous year and 61% compared to 2019.
Sales in department stores were up 21% from the previous year.
After the emergence of the omicron variant, many people stayed home, but they put their purchases on the internet, so the overall sales figure continued to rise.
“I feel very good with the development of the season”, He said Steve Sadove, Senior Advisor to Mastercard and former CEO of Saks Inc. “When people feel a little uncomfortable, we see a bit of a recovery in online sales and a bit of a slowdown in stores.”
Sadove said that Consumers are “learning to live” with what COVID-19 throws them.
“It’s coming out of 2021 with a lot of consumer momentum”, He said.
Even so, get a bigger picture of US sales next month when the National Retail Federation publishes its results for the previous two months.
Those results will be based on a November and December sales analysis released by the Department of Commerce. Analysts will also be examining the corresponding financial results for the last quarter of the year by various retail chains, which will be released in February.

It is likely that Ómicron slows unexpectedly strong rebound in economy from last year’s coronavirus recession, interrupting travel and probably dissuading some consumers from venturing into shops, restaurants, and bars.
The variant could also worsen inflation That is already latent by forcing the closure of factories and ports, delaying shipments and driving prices up.
“A full reopening of the US economy will be delayed once again”said Robin Brooks, chief economist at the Institute of International Finance, a trade group of financial firms.
But it is not yet clear how deep the blow will be or how long it will last.
For the moment, The latest variant of COVID-19 is changing vacation plans for tens of thousands of travelers.
Airlines canceled hundreds more flights on Sunday, citing staffing issues related to COVID-19, as the country’s travel problems extended beyond Christmas, with no clear indication of when normal hours would resume.

I know canceled more than 700 flights entering, leaving or flying within the US according to the flight tracking website FlightAware. That number dropped from nearly 1,000 on Saturday. More than 50 flights have already been canceled for Monday.
Delta, United and JetBlue have blamed the omicron variant of the coronavirus for the staffing shortages that forced the cancellations.
Worldwide, airlines eliminated about 2,200 flights on Sunday morning, up from more than 2,800 cancellations the day before, the FlightAware data showed.

WSenior physician Frank Ulrich Montgomery has sharply criticized Richter for judging corona measures. “I bump into the fact that little judges stand up and, like in Lower Saxony, 2 G in the retail trade because they do not consider it proportionate,” said Montgomery of the newspaper Die Welt, according to an advance notice on Sunday. A court would presume to reject something that scientific and political bodies had laboriously wrested from them with reference to proportionality.
“I have big problems there,” said Montgomery. There are ?situations in which it is right, the freedoms behind the right to physical health ? not just for yourself, but for everyone ? to be classified “. ?And we have such a situation,? said the World Medical President.
Montgomery sees the current pandemic as an opportunity to achieve immunization more quickly with Omikron. “If the omicron virus, which we can only hope for at the moment, has a significantly lower disease burden, I would still vaccinate like crazy,” he said.
?The unvaccinated then just have to go through the disease ? in the end, we might have been lucky enough to reach immunization faster, ?he added. But he reckons that ?there will be more to come?. There will be ?even more variants ? the Greek alphabet goes to Omega ?.
The new Federal Minister of Justice Marco Buschmann (FDP) reacted on Sunday evening to Montgomery’s statements and rejected his criticism of judges for rulings on Corona rules. ?Germany can be proud of its highly qualified and independent judiciary. It opens access to the law and brings the idea of ??the rule of law to life “, wrote the FDP politician on Twitter. “Therefore it deserves respect – regardless of whether the viewer makes every decision,” added Buschmann.
The background to this is a ruling by the Lower Saxony Higher Administrative Court on December 16. This had overturned the 2-G rule in the state’s retail trade. The court decided that the measure was not necessary to further contain the coronavirus and was not compatible with the general principle of equality. Among other things, the Senate complained that there were no reliable and comprehensible findings on the actual risk of infection in retail. The state could also require retail customers to wear an FFP2 mask. This would lower the risk of infection to such an extent “that it could almost be neglected,” said the court.
On December 2, the federal and state governments decided that 2 G should apply nationwide and regardless of the incidence in retail. Exceptions to the 2-G rule apply to shops with daily needs, such as supermarkets and drug stores.

The Government of Madeira considered this Sunday “unacceptable” that only 1190 children between 5 and 11 years old have been vaccinated against covid-19, out of a total of 14,715, appealing once again to parents to vaccinate their children. ?We have vaccinated, since December 14, only 1190 children, 8% of the 14,715. This is inconceivable after two years of pandemic. And of these 1190 children, only 321 belong to risk groups, only 27%?, said the regional secretary of Health, Pedro Ramos. ?We don’t want to be responsible for less happy situations in our children here in the region. We have to follow international and national recommendations?, he warned.
Speaking at the weekly press conference aimed at taking stock of the epidemiological situation in Madeira, the government official stressed that ?this is unacceptable? if there is ?no other reason why vaccination cannot take place?. ?This is a danger to everyone. Covid-19 is a public health problem?, he added, regretting that parents have not yet adhered to the vaccination of children as quickly as Pedro Ramos considers necessary.
The regional health secretary stressed that the benefits of the covid-19 vaccine in this age group “far outweigh the risks” and appealed to parents and pediatricians. ?We have to vaccinate more. Once again I appeal to all parents to vaccinate their children and pediatricians to join in this appeal?, he declared.
Pedro Ramos also pointed out that ?with the prevalence of covid-19 cases in this age group, especially up to 9 years old, it is predictable that it will spread in a burst in the coming weeks, due to the Christmas season itself and the Omicron variant, which is much more contagious. than the delta variant?. ?It’s Christmas. I hope the gift you gave your children was a vaccine. It is available, it is free, it is safe, it reduces the severity of infections and reduces mortality?, reiterated the responsible for Health.
Vaccination centers, closed between December 24th and today, reopen on Monday. Regional health authorities have flagged 14,715 children between the ages of 5 and 11, of which around 2000 have risky pathologies.
At today’s press conference, the regional secretary for Health also said that, in Porto Santo, where an outbreak of covid-19 was recently detected, the number of infections continues to rise, currently registering 174 active cases.
In the area of ??health there are 34 active cases of covid-19, in the social sector 16 and in Education 180 active cases of infection at the moment, indicated Pedro Ramos. According to the official, more than one million rapid antigen tests have already been carried out at the 71 adherent posts as part of the free massive testing to be carried out in the archipelago.
Pedro Ramos, on the other hand, downplayed the estimates of the number of covid-19 cases that could be registered in January, stressing that the numbers cannot be compared with last year, when the majority of the population was not vaccinated. ?What matters is to know how many patients are hospitalized, how many are in intensive care?, he said.
The regional secretary of Health added that the cases of infection are being analyzed and if there is “a large percentage related to a certain area of ??the city of Funchal”, the authorities will decide, until Wednesday, if it is necessary to proceed with any closure.

At today’s press conference, the regional secretary for Health also said that, in Porto Santo, where an outbreak of covid-19 was recently detected, the number of infections continues to rise, currently registering 174 active cases.
In the area of ??health there are 34 active cases of covid-19, in the social sector 16 and in Education 180 active cases of infection at the moment, indicated Pedro Ramos. According to the official, more than one million rapid antigen tests have already been carried out at the 71 adherent posts as part of the free massive testing to be carried out in the archipelago.
Pedro Ramos, on the other hand, downplayed the estimates of the number of covid-19 cases that could be registered in January, stressing that the numbers cannot be compared with last year, when the majority of the population was not vaccinated. ?What matters is to know how many patients are hospitalized, how many are in intensive care?, he said.
The regional secretary of Health added that the cases of infection are being analyzed and if there is “a large percentage related to a certain area of ??the city of Funchal”, the authorities will decide, until Wednesday, if it is necessary to proceed with any closure.

Despite the current health situation and high prices, this is the biggest increase in Christmas shopping in the last 17 years. We also tell you how to buy on Amazon to send to Cuba.
Americans buy, and they do so at a scandalous rate despite the expansion of the Omicron variant or the high prices that are appreciated at the national level.
The volume of Christmas purchases has not only been 8.5% higher than that registered in the same period of 2020, but it is the highest rebound in the last 17 years.
This is how he has made it known Mastercard Spending Pulse, an expense analysis agency, and credit and debit card transactions. Until this Sunday, and before the end of 2021, purchases have been much higher than the first year of the pandemic.
The firm had forecast an increase of 7.4%, and yet it could touch 9% by 2022.
What do they prefer to buy in the United States?
According to the report, the highest volume of expenses is recorded in the clothing, footwear and jewelry business segments, with the most expensive prices.
In these commercial sections, Americans have decided to buy 10.7% more than in 2019.
Purchases of clothing and textiles grew by no less than 47%, in jewelry they increased by around 32.3% and sales of electronic devices grew by 16%.
As a novelty, it stands out that online purchases increased in general 11% compared to 2020 and 61% compared to 2019. A trend that is explained by the social isolation imposed by the pandemic.
However, specialized or department stores also increased their collections in recent weeks. Purchases in the latter grew by 21% compared to the previous year.
You can buy on Amazon and ship to Cuba from this online store

Desmond Tutu, who rose to prominence as a human rights activist, was diagnosed with prostate cancer in the late 1990s and has been hospitalized several times in recent years to treat treatment-associated infections.
The South African president speaks of a unique leader and a new chapter of mourning with the loss of another notable person who had a decisive contribution to the country’s liberation.
“The death of Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu is a new chapter of mourning in our nation’s farewell to a generation of exceptional South Africans who have bequeathed us a liberated South Africa,” the president added.

Ramaphosa called Tutu “a man of extraordinary intelligence, righteous and invincible against the forces of apartheid”, but who was “also tender and vulnerable in his compassion for those who suffered oppression, injustice and violence” whether under apartheid or under oppressors throughout the world.
The Anglican Archbishop had been weakened for several months, during which he did not speak in public, but he still greeted journalists who accompanied each of his recent outings, such as when he went to take his covid-19 vaccine in a hospital or when he celebrated his 90 years in October.
Desmond Tutu gained notoriety during the worst hours of the racist regime in South Africa, when he organized peaceful marches against segregation as a priest, calling for international sanctions against the white regime in Pretoria.
With the advent of democracy 10 years later, the man who called South Africa the ?rainbow nation? chaired the Truth and Reconciliation Commission created with the aim of turning the page on racial hatred, but its own hopes were quickly dashed. The black majority acquired the right to vote but remains largely poor.
After fighting Apartheid, Tutu committed himself to the reconciliation of his country and the defense of human rights.
Against the hierarchy of the Anglican Church, he defended homosexuals and the right to abortion, having in recent years opened up the right to assisted suicide as a new front in the fight.
Tutu also criticized the excesses of the government of his party, the African National Congress (ANC), namely the mistakes of former president Thabo Mbeki in the fight against AIDS, and not even his friend Nelson Mandela escaped his criticism.
In 2013 he promised not to vote again for the party that triumphed over Apartheid again.
Desmond Tutu, born in a small mining town southwest of Johannesburg, suffered from polio as a child, wanted to be a doctor, but gave up for lack of means and ended up becoming a teacher, having resigned to protest against the inferior education reserved for blacks.
He ended up entering the seminary and was ordained a priest at the age of 30.
He studied and taught in the UK and Lesotho, settling in Johannesburg in 1975, before being named Archbishop of Cape Town and head of the Anglican community in his country.
In 1955 he married Leah, with whom he had four children.
Despite the prostate cancer diagnosed in 1997 and several hospital admissions, it only gradually withdrew from public life, defending to the end the dream of a multiracial and egalitarian South Africa.
