  what is it with italy, should it really be so risky driving across a bridge in a developed country?!.

  I suspect the influence of organised crime having sucked the quality from these civil engineering projects and converting it into corrupt cash. I know that is a sweeping generalisation but overall I believe that is a factor in Italian public life.

  the bbc isn't even covering this story - it's merely publishing the front page of a newspaper which is!

  why not bbc?.

  Today’s nauseating WT

  by Slidin Fast in

  i am sitting at home, trying not to barf as this wt paragraph by paragraph tries to character assassinate those who have the temerity to take the emblems.

  the unwritten, unspoken subtext is that they, the gb, the now distinct and separate “slave” are above all this.

  they, the gold standard are immune to this questioning.

  How much will Life Change after its all over?

  this period of crisis seems endless and absolutely weird but end it will.. in the mean-time people are working successfully from home, the skies have cleared, international meetings are held on line.

  lots of frustrating commuter journeys are just not necessary.

  the world is cleaning itself almost visibly in days, the skies are clearing.

  Cofty, I certainly agree about the social aspects of things. I certainly still want to travel and enjoy my retirement and see people and places.

  On the other hand, I may be more careful about how I do that.

  I was talking to a financial services professional yesterday who is now totally set up to talk to clients from home, he told me that they had thought of closing a satelite facility in another city that was really not essential but had not. They now have three expensive office buildings attended by one person for 4 hours a day and the company is working well. There is a massive profit incentive in cutting down that expensive space to a smaller more prestige HQ and not sitting in traffic coming and going there. Money talks.

  So, multiply that by the thousands of other firms around the globe, just a small shift in that direction could make a big difference to life.

The world is cleaning itself almost visibly in days, the skies are clearing. Wild life is appearing where it hasn't been seen in years.

  Then the world will start rolling again.

  I don't anything being quite what it was. Canny business owners will wonder why they pay for huge offices when their staff can operate from home. Lots of travel is expensive and unnecessary.

  So how do you see it? Will things just resume or will the the world just tilt slightly on its axis? We've all got time for a little speculation.

  i was raised in this sect, 1st gen. was isolated from any family.

  "as of 19 march 2020, covid-19 is no longer considered to be a high consequence infectious diseases (hcid) in the uk.. now that more is known about covid-19, the public health bodies in the uk have reviewed the most up to date information about covid-19 against the uk hcid criteria.

  the advisory committee on dangerous pathogens (acdp) is also of the opinion that covid-19 should no longer be classified as an hcid.

  If you read this document is simply about the definition and nature of this disease. It is not saying that the pandemic is not serious it's just about the classification and appropriate handling of it.
