Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the statistics revealed, amid expectations for a vaccine, that “we’re not out of the woods.” He said, “Any death is a tragedy,” but added, “I think we have now reached another stage in the way we handle it.”

In addition to the drive thru efficiency around the world and simplifying the menu, McDonald’s announced new packaging that will roll out to every restaurant in the next two years, for what it claims will be a consistent look, “so no matter where you are in the world, you can find the same packaging,” the company said in a press release.

“Simple, bold graphics that nod to our world famous menu items are combined with a playful wink to whatever tasty item is inside. Think melting cheese drips on a Quarter Pounder with Cheese box”
