Re: Google and Coronavirus Tech Handbook

[Alexandre Petrescu <alexandre.petrescu () gmail com>]

1. I did not understand why you call it "_Google_ and... Handbook"

Is Google part of this? I dont see it in the pages.

2. Now I realize it works ok to browse 
https://coronavirustechhandbook.com/home

but only if I am not on mandatory organisation VPN (my employer).

3. That handbook shows sole facebook group to subscribe to, a twitter, a 
chat opportunity.

There is also a "Isolation Toolkit Tips for staying at home, doing 
physical distancing correctly, and managing your mental health." among 
others.

There are directories of volunteering groups, which I think it is a 
great idea.

The presentation reminds of Altavista and Yahoo directories when I 
imagined I could browse all the Internet through it.  It's strange 
Google does the same now, instead of searching :-)

Also, about the presentation, they use a particular logo, round shape, 
three black circles like they were 'claws' on yellow background.  I 
think that's hazardous logo for chemistry material: when I see that 
typically I stay away from such logos, it spells danger. I dont knnow 
why they put that there.

Finally, if this handbook is something that comes from UK (because they 
say "If you are not a specialist: www.gov.uk/coronavirus (or your 
regional equivalent)") then my advice is the following: UK recently went 
through a denial period; during that denial period they made wrong 
advices (remember: travel from US to UK only, not to EU); I hope they 
changed their advice and very fast.  Otherwise, UK is not trustful for 
me at this time.  No offence to anyone from UK (I have trustful friends 
in UK), and with all due respect.

Yours,

Alex, LF/HF 2
