“The majority of the people in China do not eat wildlife animals. Those people who consume these wildlife animals are the rich and the powerful –a small minority.” This video explains how the people of China are themselves victims of the conditions that led to coronavirus. The virus is affecting many different countries and cultures, and there is never justification for xenophobia or racism.

"Wir hatten einst ein gut funktionierendes Gesundheitssystem. Und weit und breit war keine Krise in Sicht. Doch irgendwann begannen die Medien zu trommeln: „Schulmedizin ist nicht nachhaltig und bedroht die Gesundheit der Bürger. Krankenhauskeime, Antibiotika, Intensivmedizin – alles schlecht, teuer und gefährlich. Die Pharmakonzerne sind böse und profitgierig…“ Die Lehrer lehrten es die Kinder: „Sanfte Medizin ist gut, Schulmedizin böse“."

Lesson for future: schedule incompatible changes for a reasonable schedule, and just move on. If Python2 was scheduled in 2007 to go EOL in 2009, not only Python dev team would have twice the resources but every single distro that maintained parallel 2/3 packages for 13 years.

I don't remember when I rewrote all my project to Python 3 - perhaps a decade ago.

If you think you can run an application with no maintenance for decades... well, good luck.

If you're into decentralised finance and cryptocurrencies, this is an interesting discussion at MakerDAO community who governs a DAI stablecoin (=a cryptocurrency that is bound to $1) and also DST (=a DAI deposit that grows at a few % per year). There's nothing wrong or alarming here - I just find it very interesting how the community deals with a catastrophic event in the world of traditional finance, and subsequent catastrophic event in cryptocurrency.

In the Czech Republic, masks have been compulsory since March 18th. The country has only 2 deaths (as at March 24) and the growth of new cases has flattened.

One of the key reasons is a massive country-wide community initiative to create and wear home-made masks. In just 10 days the country went from no mask usage to nearly 100% usage, with nearly all the masks made at home with easily accessible materials, like old t-shirts.
