If they’re targeting websites they must now be aware their main enemy is not Satan....but the internet.
And they’re not wrong!
the watchtower witch-hunters are still sending out subpoena's and closing down websites.
it is safer for simon, this board, and us if we send out internal confidential documents privately.. from time to time i will let you know something has arrived that you might want.
just send us a "pm" and we will give you the download links.. you do not need to include any personal information.

this topic is to focus on status updates & advice (no opinion or politics please).. status.
latest status is that it's serious, probably isn't going to be contained and most large companies are making contingency plans, cancelling large events etc... which i don't think would happen if it was just people being alarmist.
the incubation period means it may have already spread further and infected many more people than are currently known, so expect jumps in the numbers over the coming days and weeks.. tracking.
everyone who made steps toward outsourcing things to China in the last 30-40 years with the sole decision hinging on $, always cheapest wins.
We need to get back to making things ourselves, everything, but especially critical supplies.
And we need to blame the right people for what is happening. That is the lying shits that are the Chinese Communist party.
There is currently a class action suit, suing the govt of China. The USA, Australian and British citizens involved. One lady has suffered devastating losses with 10 family members either dead or currently very sick.
i wish them all the luck in the world. This was no “accident” in a Wuhan wet market, half of the initial affected patients had zero connection with that market.
This is not incompetence. This is evil.
this has been a horrible month.
my best friend’s wife just called to tell me that my friend had to be hospitalized due to severe coronavirus complications.
he has severe pneumonia, is put on a ventilator and is in a coma .
Min I wish them all the very, very best. I don’t know them but they are in my thoughts. The most difficult thing to bear is this separation. It’s devastating.
I wonder why it seems to affect men the worst? Unless he contracted it first and was inflicted with a greater viral load.
iI think the term to use to help his breathing is “prone” its more facing downward on the tummy. Just an educated guess, though.
recognizing that their states have one integrated regional economy, delaware governor john carney, new york governor andrew m. cuomo, new jersey governor phil murphy, connecticut governor ned lamont, pennsylvania governor tom wolf, and rhode island governor gina raimondo today announced the creation of a multi-state council to restore the economy and get people back to work.
this announcement builds on the states’ ongoing regional approach to combatting the covid-19 pandemic.. the coordinating group – comprised of one health expert, one economic development expert and the respective chief of staff from each state — will work together to develop a fully integrated regional framework to gradually lift the states’ stay at home orders while minimizing the risk of increased spread of the virus.. https://news.delaware.gov/2020/04/13/governor-carney-and-five-governors-announce-multi-state-council-to-get-people-back-to-work-and-restore-the-economy/.
meanwhile on the west coast:.
Those powers include sidelining parliament and giving Orban the power to rule by decree indefinitely. The law would punish those who spread false information about the pandemic with up to five years in prison.
Hungarians presidents new laws of ruling by decree indefinitely are frightening....

. although they really don't appear to be under much strain - many are less busy than usual and nurses have time to do dance routines for social media posts. In fact, the few times I've been in hospitals they have never looked busy - it's always lots of people sat around chatting, never like the TV shows.
yes funny my brother was recently in Addenbrookes and he said he’d never seen it so quiet. The ward was practically empty.
cancelled elective surgery notwithstanding, I think it goes to show how many consultations are not necessary, in particular many casualty and GP visits. Lets be honest all know someone among that minority who repeatedly badger their doctors unnecessarily!! (having said that I don’t doubt there are folks with serious conditions not attending when they should)
some light entertainment ... there are apparently 39 beatles songs hidden in the picture, but depending on how to interpret some of them you may come up with more.. please post one each, to give everyone a go, and describe where the song is in the picture (so it's not just coming up with a list of beatles songs).
also, check for existing answers - i'll post summaries to show the ones already identified.. .
O’ay I’ll do the obvious one, then.

Did someone do that one? Sorry.
Glass Onion then.
i'm in the uk, and most days over the last 2 weeks i've watched the 5pm uk government update on the corona virus situation which includes questions from the media.
generally speaking i've found the whole update, including the questions and answers, to be respectful, informative and non combative, with, to the best of my recollection, very little mention of politics and blame.
certainly no political point scoring.
I’m no Trump supporter but I respect him enormously for being the only one with the guts to hold the Chinese govt feet to the fire. The WHO management need sacking forthwith.
Hoping Boris gets better soon. We are all feeling awful about this.
this has been a horrible month.

I’m so so very sorry minimus this must be devastating for his wife. The fact you are separated not only from your partner but everyone that can give you comfort is devastating.
They have put him in an induced coma to allow his lungs to rest which must mean ventilation can help him....that at least is good news. His sex weighs against him unfortunately.
Is he on the heavy side at all?
Were they using gloves and strict hand washing? It’s so worrying when we are all isolating yet these tragedies happen. I think we all need to access masks now minimus.
some people say this decade is the most advantage and so they are happiest in the present.
some long for the good old days before cell phones and computers.
if you could live in an era or decade , when would it be?.
The seventies....especially the endless summer of 1975 in the UK!!! I was a very young child but my family were all alive👵🏼and well and healthy. We had a big wedding with the whole family plus un-divorced parents 🥺and I was flying high at my lovely primary school with top-of-the-class grades😇🤓
Plus....the greatest music decade!!👨🏻🎤
Am I allowed to stand up for myself and change my personal history?!!👩🏼🎨
you gotta listen to the first 60 seconds of the special talk drivel.. you'll immediately see why i've put this under jokes & humour.

Oh brother they roll the same old scriptures again and again. You can always tell which one is coming.
I well believe the person that claimed Watchtower strictly uses only the same 50 scriptures in all heir talks and publications.
