As you may have heard lately, coronavirus is raging around, now officially classified as a pandemic.
This issue of the J-D bulletin cannot ignore this problem, and will also deal with this in the first part.
There are a lot of fake news raging around in the web. Starting on mid February, I started to read on the topic, just when the first italian case popped out.
I read many article, here is an article that list the best one:
The best sources and articles on #coronavirus.
There is also a Coursera course by the Imperial College London & Abdul Latif Jameel Institute for Disease and Emergency Analytics.
Also, there are a lot of fake news raging around on Italy’s situation. The serious outbreak is in Bergamo and Brescia provinces, some outbreaks in Lombardy region, while the rest of Italy is basically locked down preventing the arrival of covid-19.
Nothing of dystopian is happening.

What about a Telegram client for #SailfishOS? I want to get rid of this Android-💩 of Google.

Step away from Slack? PS I hate slack, it’s the Whattsapp group for Project managers…
I don't mind. I don't like Slack. They're also based on US soil which means the FISA/FISC can rule a secret court order which will be handed over by the FBI to force them to cooperate and to be quit about it otherwise they'll end up in jail for many years. Telegram works for me.

Really, there is not a pratical, or a UX reason to do it, but this project is interesting as a step to get Sailfish OS working into an old iPhone 7 when it will get out of support. (Next year?)
