Red Bull motorsport boss Helmut Marko says he advised his drivers to become infected with coronavirus with the Formula 1 season yet to get going.
The 76-year-old Austrian said he had the idea to bring his drivers and juniors together in a camp, which "would be the ideal time for the infection to come".
"They are all strong young men in good health. That way they would be prepared whenever the action starts," he said.
The rest of Red Bull management were against the idea, which was abandoned. The first eight races of the 2
I think you might be right. Of course, they didn't manufacture the virus but no proper gear for the professionals and no testing of the public, whilst we had plenty of warning that it was coming, seem to me like, simply, politico-economic decisions.

I'm feeling maudlin. Ive just been putting my winter coats away and wondering what the world would be like when I took them out again😐 I need a good belly laugh. I'm hoping this is the place to find it. Step up to the post, chaps!
"The legendary Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow will broadcast its best classic performances online for free in response to new restrictions to slow the spread of coronavirus.
The ballet and opera house said it will show six of its most popular productions on its YouTube channel.
The “Golden Collection” will include some of the Bolshoi’s most popular productions: The Tsar’s Bride (April 1),Marco Spada (April 4), Boris Godunov (April 7) and The Nutcracker (April 10). These upcoming performances will go live at 7pm Moscow time and will be available online for 24 hours."

So do all of us, B, but there's a severe dearth of anything remotely amusing at the moment; except, of course, if the news that the Sussexes are from today free of the obligations of royalty.. helps?

The two first ones I'm not acquainted with, but I'm not missing Gudinof and, most certainly, not The Nutcracker!
Horniman Museum kicks-off April 2020 with plans for a celebration of Neolithic Art including the installation of their own Giant Hill figure that will be visible from across London!
Hill figures have been part of the British landscape for millennia and these imposing figures are often associated with fertility. The figure will be created by cutting turf and filling the trenches with crushed chalk recreating the way similar figures have been carved in the British countryside for thousands of years.
However, many local residents have expressed concern about the anatomical explicitness, dubbing the piece the Horniman “Horny man”. The man will stand 100 metres tall with the phallus itself stretching just over 13 meters (40 feet). Work will begin this summer with the unveiling of the erection scheduled for 1st April 2021.
Visitors are expected to come from far and wide to enjoy the spectacle of this cultural colossus in the heart of South London, and the “Horny man” is expected to become as symbolic of South London as the “Angel of the North” is for Manchester.
The Horniman Giant will be visible from a variety of locations across London and as far away as Cockfosters.
