Title: 'real beginning of the 21st century' Post by: CyclingSid on January 02, 2021, 18:18:36 I'll let others decide on the validity of the title but I found this quote interesting:
Quote It is fashionable to compare COVID-19 to a war. But recently, when I was flying back to Sofia via Vienna, I realized that, paradoxically, the pandemic is just the opposite of a war. During a war, the most crowded places are railway stations and airports because people are on the move all the time, traveling in different directions, because they're trying to escape something. And, during the pandemic, these places are the loneliest places in the world. from https://www.dw.com/en/ivan-krastev-coronavirus-pandemic-marks-the-real-beginning-of-the-21st-century/a-56099475 (https://www.dw.com/en/ivan-krastev-coronavirus-pandemic-marks-the-real-beginning-of-the-21st-century/a-56099475)This page is printed from the "Coffee Shop" forum at http://gwr.passenger.chat which is provided by a customer of Great Western Railway.
