    News COVID-19 pandemic

    My take is that all the News outlets lean one way or another, what is good about the BBC and other national broadcasting organisations is that, it is easy to work out which way and why. That can not be said of "For-Profit" outlets. The BBC changing to the current situation is a perfect example...

    Less trips, bumps, scrapes and broken bones. More burns, digit amputations and fatal falls. It is quite a manual labor intensive industry.
