Corona Virus Debate and Facebook Pages


Here I am in a blue disposable mask.

 What will happen? Will it go on for years, as some say? Will it end soon, as some hope?.

In Singapore I caught the tail end of a meeting of Tampines Changkat Toastmasters. They were discussing holding meetings back in the Community Club. At the moment you can have meetings of up to eight people. But large venues have different rules. 

So some people are keen on hybrid meetings. For this you need a venue where you have internet connections. And you may need to limit attendees to those who have pre-booked.

Useful Websites.

Should You Guard Privacy and Shred Your Boarding Passes For Security?

Problem
Some people show their boarding passes on media and this is a security risk. Also throwing them away is a risk.

Answer
Some people prefer not to print their boarding pass but keep it on their mobile.
What if you lose your mobile or internet connection? Or a third world airport official claims you need a printed copy so he or she can charge you for printing it (either official charge or a bribe).
In theory if you have ID the airport staff can print your boarding pass.
I like to photograph my boarding pass. However, I shall think twice now.
If you shred your own boarding pass or other document with scissors put the two halves in different bins at different locations on different days.
