WorldbyStorm - 11:46 Wed May 27, 2020 Anyone read a piece in the IT at the weekend about how the restaurant industry is facing reopening. Or rather not in the case of many restaurants which are holding out until public sentiment is better. The measures taken suggest to me that there will be a step change – many of these are being […]A
WorldbyStorm - 09:39 Wed May 27, 2020 Behavioural scientists get a bad rap in a time of nudge theory, and likely rightly so. But interesting to see their attitudes to the following: Members of a government behavioural science advisory group have expressed concern that the revelations that Dominic Cummings appears to have broken the UK?s coronavirus restrictions and the government?s subsequent handling […]A

WorldbyStorm - 12:46 Tue May 26, 2020 A continuing series. Probably deserves more than 5 posts – but trying to keep focus on the things one can deal with. That said this does merit consideration: Members of the Trump administration have reportedly discussed the possibility of the United States carrying out its first nuclear test in almost three decades, a move that […]A

WorldbyStorm - 08:41 Tue May 26, 2020 This from the IT: This is also not a time to yell at a bad driver or snap at a slow worker on a supermarket till. Actually, it is never a good idea to snap at anyone doing that work, as Mary Greenham can tell you. Ms Greenham is a sports and media agent whose […]A
WorldbyStorm - 12:54 Mon May 25, 2020 The controversy over Dominic Cummings and his movements during the lock-down is illuminating, isn’t it? Here he clearly breached guidelines, and in such a way as to have huge criticism heaped upon him, and rightly so. And from a range of people that might be thought unlikely to do so. Police, Tory politicians and so […]A
WorldbyStorm - 12:46 Mon May 25, 2020 I’m rarely in agreement with Fine Gael Ministers but fair dues to Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation Heather Humphreys for pointing out something so obvious, and yet continually ignored by the media and others: Speaking on RTÉ’s Morning Ireland, Heather Humphreys said the public health advice from the National Public Health Emergency Team (NPHET) […]A
WorldbyStorm - 11:55 Mon May 25, 2020 From RTÉ at the weekend. Several independent TDs have been told that they will be included in formation talks the week after next.
