The all-important letter V: Virus, Vaccine, Vacation
Oddly enough, yet most conveniently, the moment coincided with the time of the year when every working soul was gearing up for vacation and therefore, the politicians pompously decreed that “we need to restart the economy.” At least now, one year later, we are no longer hypocritically pretending that, we simply acknowledge that we had enough of this pandemic and the time has come for “relaxation”.

Editorial - Europe begins slow return to normality
By Cristian Cojanu
As the continent slowly emerges from long COVID-19 lockdown, the European Commission's Spring 2020 European Economic Forecast paints a sobering picture of economic tough times ahead.
"In the current quarter, economic output in the EU is set to be almost 16% lower than in the last quarter of 2019. Although activity is expected to pick up again with the just-initiated, gradual easing of containment measures, the contraction in EU GDP this year is expected to be 7½%, far deeper than during the financial crisis in 2009," Maarten Wervey, Director General Economic and Financial Affairs, wrote in the foreword to the report.
The report expects the EU's GDP to rebound in 2021 by 6%. "The COVID-19 crisis is a symmetric shock hurting all Members States. Their strong economic interconnectedness is magnifying the aggregate demand and supply shocks. While the recovery looks set to be incomplete in almost all countries, the impact of the crisis and the way Member States will emerge from it is set to be uneven."

Ambasadorul SUA la Bucureşti Adrian Zuckerman a afirmat, la întâlnirea anuală a membrilor Camerei de Comerţ Americane din România, că Partidul Comunist Chinez s-ar folosi de moartea a mii de europeni pentru a înmâna măşti marca Huawei deghizate în donaţii umanitare, ceea ce este 'inadmisibil' şi a avertizat autorităţile române că 'aceasta este o companie căreia nu i se poate încredinţa securitatea naţională' şi care pune în pericol libertatea. El a elogiat măsurile luate de autorităţile de la Bucureşti pentru a opri criza provocată de epidemia de coronavirus şi a afirmat că la ieşirea din această criză România va putea deveni lider în multe domenii, lucru care se poate realiza doar prin adoptarea unor legi şi reglementări de afaceri raţionale, prin încetarea corupţiei endemice şi prin creşterea transparenţei. Ambasadorul american a definit Rusia şi China drept a

The time of the doomsday preachers and hope
This is the time of the doomsday preachers, the moment when all the ones that predicted and preached the end of the world (as we know it) could stand proud in the middle of any empty square in any empty city and shout to the empty world 'I've told you so!'
This is the time when The Evil One sacrificed the lust for grandeur on the efficiency altar, opting – in his battle with the Good - for a minuscule yet deadly virus rather than a magnificent and brilliant war. So far, the THING is doing its job with an infectious competence: almost 2 billion people around the world confined at home, in self-imposed house arrest, a quarter of a million people infected (as we write), 5% in serious condition, and 30,000 killed during the first 3 months of the confrontation. But what makes the fight with the Covid-19 different from the similar situations in history is that DEATH on medical grounds has become somehow unacceptable and we are valuing LIFE of the individual as high as never before.

Viitoarele rețele 5G vor fi autostrăzi și rute ale economiei digitale globale
www.business-arena.ro

Rețea 5G reprezintă o infrastructură esenţială pentru economia secolului XXI
Huawei reprezintă o cale greșită pentru dezvoltarea 5G. Contrar marketingului și a percepţiei publice generale distorsionate, 5G nu este sinonim cu companiile chineze. Companiile americane, europene și sud-coreene conduc calea dezvoltării 5G pe piețele din întreaga lume. Tehnologia 5G oferă oportunităţi, dar, aflată în mâini greșite, ameninţă securitatea naţională. După cm a spus Secretarul de Stat, Mike Pompeo, competiţia cu China pune în discuţie libertățile fundamentale pe care fiecare dintre noi le preţuieşte.
