Re: [Ietf108planning] Assessment criteria for decision on in-person/virtual IETF 108

[JORDI PALET MARTINEZ <[e-mail]>]

I think we are all, even in “democratic” countries, in the same situation. That’s precisely my point on the article.

 

I think it is clear that we elected them for being responsible, and they’re not. This is a new world, and we all the citizens need to make the rulers accountable and find better ways to protect us, including very drastic law changes, which include how the countries interact with every other country. Otherwise, we don’t need politicians and governments at all, we can do much betters ourselves.

 

It is a shame that we probably have something closer to the 80.000 deaths in Spain, and they want to hide it accounting only 20.000 “tested” ones. Do they plan to test all the buried ones later on?

 

Of course, I’m convinced the Chinese Government and WHO did it also the same (and Italy and many other in EU), and may be the figures are appalling.

 

Anyway, all that is in my article, please, do not feed this thread in this direction … the blog allows for inputs, and I hope that many other people do the same in their own contries: sue their goverments.

 

Regards,

Jordi

   The selection of independent sources is more problematic and we have chosen to use the US CDC and their travel advisory for Spain [4], which must be below Warning Level 3 (avoid nonessential travel) or the in-person meeting will not go ahead.  While recognising that the choice of a single US source may be contentious, we believe this is the best choice because all of our contracts have a force majeure clause that specifically lists the US CDC..

[Jordi] I've not looked at the information of the CDC about Spain, but this seems an US government organization and I'm sorry, but if that's the case, I don't think this is a trustable source.

 

I find it "so sad" to say so, but I also have concerns about the trustworthiness of statements by the current US Government on this matter.
