That's my only hope but I doubt that.Maybe a return to listening to experts and people who do science and stuff for a living.

Dutch tourist was foolish to travel without a travel health insurance. EU infact has a rule that mandates purchase of travel health insurance of certain amount before issuing schengen visa.Speaking of American healthcare. I read a story that compared two cases of a tourist calling a doctor.
An American tourist went to the Netherlands, got a stomach bug and called a doctor. The doctor said, it's probably nothing serious, stay hydrated, check your temperature three times a day and see if it passes with a few days. She got a bill for 25 euro's, though usually the actual payment of this, isn't really enforced.
The second case was a Dutch tourist in Miami in the same situation. The doctor came over right away, perscribed quite a few different meds and presented a bill of 2400 dollars to be paid right there.
Supposedly this is a true story. But is it really?!
I remain doubtful.It might swing the US election away from Trump.
Kebabs should be booming too.An economic boom from schoolboys selling hand sanitizer at £1 per squirt.
The domino's in general will probably actually thrive.The Dominos near the Manchester Academy is shit. I hope that one falls.
He'll be the only person fitRashford will be fit for the Spurs game.
All asset prices will likely fall (other than maybe a few specific safe haven assets) if financial markets crash and there's a prolonged credit crunch.What do we think we happen to the housing market?
If World War Two hasn’t done it what do you think this will achieve. I expect humanity to be even more selfish than usual and best case forget this whole thing happened in 50 years.This will probably be the historical event that convinces humans they have to cooperate more in the future.
Kane, Pogba and Son too.Rashford will be fit for the Spurs game.
I could also see it going the other way. Once it's overloaded because of how neglected it's been, they'll be able to say "look how this needs changing, it's for everyone's wellbeing" and there will probably be a load of working class people going "yeah well, it does need to be better doesn't it"Also hopefully it'll remind people why the NHS actually fecking matters.
Second this.Maybe a return to listening to experts and people who do science and stuff for a living.
I also think it will cause much more division and the bigger countries will look at ways to consolidate their power further.If World War Two hasn’t done it what do you think this will achieve.

It'd be a massive blessing. Having a non ayatollah Iran would be great for everyone.With everything that is going on, it feels like a massive moment for civilisation in the 21st century. A global recession almost seems inevitable at this point, but what other dominos do you think will fall because of this outbreak and the upcoming recession?
One that seems possible, is a regime change in Iran. With the number of those infected in their top decision makers (and their respective ages) and if the outbreak results in the population themselves getting sick of the regime, it could result in a regime change. How does that then, impact the middle East in general?
It's a purely speculative thread of course, but I'm hoping some of the posters who are more historically and politically knowledge might have a few thoughts to share on this topic. This isn't exclusive to just geopolitical/economic effects but also social effects. How will this change the way society behaves?
Italy has shut everything but pharmacists and food stores. That includes restaurants and pizzerias.The domino's in general will probably actually thrive.
Didn’t loads of Geordies get salmonella from eating raw curry leaves a few years ago?Poultry and general meat standards are fecking shocking across the entire world. Vegans have got their shit together over this.
idk, the Europeans seemed to learn the lessons of WW2.If World War Two hasn’t done it what do you think this will achieve. I expect humanity to be even more selfish than usual and best case forget this whole thing happened in 50 years.
All Dominos is overpriced shit in my experience. Can you point me in the direction of one that isn’t?The Dominos near the Manchester Academy is shit. I hope that one falls.
Mainland Europeans would be more accurate I guess.idk, the Europeans seemed to learn the lessons of WW2.
The Russians and Americans didn't.
Or tougher legislation for the benefit of all public health, might just eradicate them for good/make them obsolete.Anti waxers might wisen the feck up.
What if I prefer to shave me privates rather than wax them?Anti waxers might wisen the feck up.
They'll just castrate you with the very same blade you shaved with. No more half measures.What if I prefer to shave me privates rather than wax them?
This is discrimination.They'll just castrate you with the very same blade you shaved with. No more half measures.
A necessary evil.This is discrimination.
1. No way. Too much expertise and low cost manufacturing in China. A lot of companies who haven't yet will start creating contingency plans and lining up domestic suppliers for just-in-case scenarios1. Supply chains will become tighter and China will lose a lot of its manufacturing jobs.
2. The cruise ship industry will suffer a permanent downturn for good.
3. The reduction in travel plus fewer flights would mean that for the first time ever we will see a reduction in co2 emissions.
4. More workplaces will start realizing the benefits of remote work and think offices are mere extra real estate cost they can do without.
It would take more for them to collapse. They do undergo stress testing to assess impact of these kinds of scenarios.So what impact will this have on the life insurance market? If a significant number of people begin dying (3.4%), surely the companies providing those covers will collapse? So what does that mean for mortgages that are backed by those same life insurances?
