Some doctor in Italy will now lose his license and be jailed for “Failing to predict the emergence of COVID-19 globally”.

As a healthcare professional this is really saddening to hear. The heavy hand of the law cannot be used to stop an epidemic, and doing so will only discourage doctors and other professionals to deal with complications openly.

@MedEwok – @Dimme just was making fun of the way Italy sentenced geologists for not predicting an earthquake and to the more recent thread about a Jodel and a heli colliding in the Alps. As supported by the /sarcasm closing tag.

I noticed the tag, but then again in the link Dimme posted there was a line about the police opening an investigation, so reality might be even more sarcastic…

Well, it seems it’s not without foundation:

That’s the same link I posted

So it is, sorry. I had been looking at your cut and paste article.

@Peter did you look at “TOOTHBRUSH” in your picture? I don’t think that’s what people call it
