One lesson we kinda sorta knew already has been brought into sharp relief by the coronavirus crisis:

Hedge funds and vulture capitalists make Tim Martin and Mike Ashley look like angels.

Any business they own is a black box, nothing more. Doesn't pump out money? Cut it. Axe it.
All those lovely 100, 150, 200 year old firms that we think of as the backbone of the high street?

Many were already walking dead before the virus, doomed the moment their original owners flipped them to a hedge fund and ran off into the sunset with a bag of loot.
At least Tim Martin and Mike Ashley, for all their many many many faults, fancy themselves business owners. In the back of their minds, there's a tiny hint of a desire to preserve something for the future, even if it's well disguised by rapacious greed.

You may be thinking of South Korea as one of the "epicentres" of the coronavirus pandemic. But that's mainly because they got it early, so monopolised news coverage. In fact, they have seen just 120 deaths, compared to 336 in the UK so far...
worldometers.info/coronavirus/co…
Even if you adjust the figures for the difference in population, the UK has experienced 2.11x as many deaths as South Korea. So next time you're tempted to think of them as part of the problem, maybe refocus your gaze closer to home?
BTW, the contrast for Japan is even more stark. Japan is another country that got talked about a lot in the press at the beginning of the pandemic. But they've suffered just 42 deaths. Adjusted for population size, the UK has experienced 14.9x more deaths than Japan.

According to @flightradar24 the number of daily flights worldwide is plunging. Not surprising really, but this graph really hammers it home. (You might also argue that 95,000-odd flights in a day is still a lot... but it's a long way from the average of 160,000-170,000 a day!)
BTW, this has consequences not just for passengers, but for freight too. After all, a huge amount of air freight is carried in the hold of passenger planes. That compounds the losses to the aviation industry.

I’m on King’s Parade in Cambridge again for the fourth day running as councillors have again said they are due to close the new anti-terror barrier today. The road is very busy with cyclists at the moment. King’s Parade, Cambridge
The reason for delay starting the barrier’s operation was given as new signs and markings being required. I can’t see any new signs and markings today.

1) Obama 2009: “THE CIA ALWAYS GETS WHAT IT WANTS.” As the world watches the ever shifting chaos in America, many are focusing on obtaining answers to why @GenFlynn was targeted for removal, & who is behind the quest to overthrow the 45th President of the United States. .@POTUS
@GenFlynn @POTUS 2) The following is a deeper dive into how @GenFlynn became a target for removal but it also exposes the broader picture of actors engaged in a collective effort to usurp power from the citizens of America and overthrow the President they elected. .@POTUS
@GenFlynn @POTUS 3) At times, some of the posts may have you wondering why I’m seemingly veering off topic for a thread that is intended to educate you about who is behind framing General Flynn, Stay with me, the time invested w/be well worth it for what you’re about to learn.
