Can I ask a stupid question?

Why does the government need the #covid19bill and specifically one to last for 2 years with no scrutiny arming themselves with all those powers if they can’t even bring themselves to close down parks for 14 days? #StayAtHome
Especially when there is already legislation which can be used for emergency situations? #COVIDー19

#china is sending practical help to Europe to get control of the #COVIDー19 crisis. What are the so-called journalists spreading racist hate doing apart from creating their own badges of shame? What on earth happened to Allison Pearson? ImageImage
#china informed the world of a problem in December. If we were slow to act and to make preparations that’s on us and our governments. It’s beyond disgusting to try and make out this is the problem of one country or one nationality! A virus doesn’t need a passport.
The stories were all out there day after day in responsible papers like the Financial Times. It’s not as if anything was being hidden. WHO were on it. Why were out governments not tracking and acting promptly, sourcing test kits and protective equipment.

I am a bit confused with this whole immigration discussion which no longer seems to be about foreigners stealing jobs.

1. If the idea is that the jobs done by migrants can now be done by Brits why will technology help - those Brits still won’t be needed.
2. We have FOM within the UK so why were areas complaining about too many EU recruits not successful in attracting British recruits from other towns and cities?
So if it isn’t about British people for British jobs then what do we conclude? It’s only about language and colour and nativism!

I just find these realisations and pennies dropping extraordinarily tragic. This man didn’t think about his business when he voted leave. It just shows that people were truly taken in by the cherry picking arguments from leave. #brexit /Thread

They were made to believe they could have everything, that nothing would change, that we could still continue enjoying the full effects on business of the SM and CU and FOM whilst not having to accept the costs or reciprocal responsibilities of the four freedoms.
In truth the government will have to try and mitigate the effects on thousands of businesses but I can’t see how they can do that without slashing standards and regulations and the regulations won’t be what you think, they will be those related to workers rights etc.

World War II led to creation of UN, IMF, World Bank & present world order. 2008 financial crisis changed financial regulation. 9/11 led to global war on terror,heightened government surveillance & tighter airport security.

My predictions on how #COVIDー19 will change the world:
The future of interaction is online. Instead of asking “why are we doing this online?”, the new question will be “why are we doing this in person?”. People will ask if meetings should simply have been emails. This is affect work, meeting, conferences, religious worship etc
Internet as a right. Government and individuals will start to see internet as a necessary infrastructure. Since outbreak started, schools & work have moved online. People without internet are at a disadvantage. Internet will become as important a right as healthcare and security.

Thread on Modi's theatrics.

Everytime Modi lays a trap,

We all Indians fall into it, quite willingly.

"We" here "refers" to two groups of Indians-
Modi followers & non followers.

Five examples quoted here, on how the trap was laid for both the groups
1/11
➡️Pulwama- Anyone who raised a question on Balakot or number of people killed in attack, were called as Anti-National.
2/11
➡️Kashmir 370Abrogation
It became National sentiment.
Whoever spoke against, was branded as speaking against Indian sentiment.

We lost power for like 8 days after hurricane Irma. Our phones only worked sporadically, if at all. On maybe day 3, I drove about 9 miles to a parking lot near a working cell tower. I checked in w/ friends & family, submitted some documents & pictures to insurance companies...
1/
...sought out locally relevant news and timelines. Where to go for water. If the tax deadline had been extended. How to make my mortgage payment. What stations had gas. When we might get power.

It was all so present. So immediate.

2/
I remember looking at facebook. My local friends feeds were of devastation and largely unsolvable problems, and so, so many questions. While for everyone outside the blast radius, life just goes on. Birthdays and pet pics and memes and life, as it should be.

1/ Update on my 68 year old mom who has tested negative to all flu and can’t get a test for #COVIDー19 @KPMemberService...
She finally went to the ER with a 102 fever, chest pain, and dry cough.
They admitted her in and drew blood and Xray...
2/ they retested her for flu even though she had tested negative on Wednesday. She was negative again. Her cough is worse. Her chest pain and breathing is worse. After an hour the doctor came in and told her she thinks it’s a viral infection.
3/ they had no desire to even test her for #COVIDー19 although she is displaying all symptoms and is negative for flu. She’s doing what the government is asking us to do...

Day 8 of aggregating information on what goes on with #COVIDー19 in Iran.

Picking up from yesterday:

As stated before:

Finally authorities are putting Mazandaran province on quarantine: only fuel and food trucks are allowed. This late, its effectiveness will be limited.

The same authorities have had argued for quarantine to be "non-scientific" and "from middle ages".
