Is this process generating the microplastics? If so then maybe it’s not such a great way to post process our litter.

Hopefully European countries aren't prone to manipulating the statistics. An example that used to happen in my (Australian) city: if a train was running late, they'd skip stations: magically, it now arrived at its destination on time!
Was on a Swiss train that did exactly this yesterday. To be fair, the delay originated in Italy (20 minutes late)and there was a minimal impact for people wanting to get to or leave from that city (Bern) as passenger on the affected train could get off one stop early and then catch another train to finish their leg and passengers trying to board the train in Bern just had to catch another train to the subsequent stop (Olten) to get on the late train there.
Finally, this was the first time in over 20 years of light rail use in Switzerland that I experienced this.

This seems like such a no-brainer. 3Blue 1Brown did a video on epidemic simulation, and central markets, places where people in the region congregate, are major factors in the the rate of disease spread. Limiting the transfer coefficient in these places has the key to reducing this impact, assuming you can't prevent people from going there.
Instead of a bailout, lets do a stock offering, with the government as the purchaser. This way, the government can sell it's shares later on and get the public's money back.

What's a morality rate? Is it a typo or an actual indicator? I found this: https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/population-development/tag/mora... but it seems to be a typo.
