What can bad communication cause?
I spent the whole day, and still have teleconferences, Skype-meetings and WhatsApp meetings with customers from all over the world, all worried because Italy"has hut down everything"...
One idiot talking on Facebook before even writing down the new limitations and the damage is enormous.
I have machines or complete lines to deliver in the coming months and in each and every contract there is the clause that, in case of "acts of God" or other totally abnormal circumstances, the contracts can be canceled. And those idiots, one a lawyer, his PR-Manager a "Big Brother" participant, are ruling one of the world's leading countries like absolute...reckless idiots (again).
I wish they had to earn their money to survive, like everybody else, but now they are in the big game of politics, so they will never have this marginal problem any more...
Apart for this, everything is still more or less fine.
The first people I knew are dead from the virus or complications thereof.
It is humbling.
One was a coach of one of Italy's first American Football teams, founded in the late '70s, the other was a lineman I played against lots of times.
Both in or around Milan.
Too bad...
We keep working as usual.
