KaitlynnD Posted November 22, 2020 Report Share Posted November 22, 2020 Ackk the pandemic really did hit us bad. Even the biggest companies are affected. Hope they can still bounce back and return to normal operations. I think it is a waste if they'll totally close down. I just hope that everyone learned a lesson from this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adhoc10 Posted November 29, 2020 Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 On 11/17/2020 at 11:12 AM, umbertino said: Covid-19 was spreading in Italy as early as September 2019, a new study by the National Cancer Institute (INT) in Milan has suggested If this is true, it questions the prevailing premise of the China origins of the pandemic in 2020. The 2020 theme should be titled, 'The search for truth' as the facts keep changing on every assertion that has been presented to the public. The big lessons could be, 1)don't believe what comes from the midia, , 2)don't completely trust what the experts are offering. 3)Tune and calibrate your personal BS meter.
