Twitter, as ever, you’re not helping.
(I reported it as “abusive or harmful”, for all the good it’ll do…)

I’ll post it here.
But please understand that I will not be able to disclose any details about our emergency plans.
During the Coronavirus crisis, we all have to “stand together”, as Austria’s Chancellor Sebastian Kurz put it in a press conference last Friday. In a zombie apocalypse, it’s every zombie for themselves.
We have coordinated defensible emergency meeting points with other scout groups in my town, but we can’t risk the guys from the “Katholische Jungschar” youth groups finding out our secrets. (They are a large network of Catholic youth groups that are the traditional ‘enemies’ of the scouts in Austria. Nothing serious, just a decades-long rivalry that both sides make fun of).

The social distancing and quarantine measures are going to take a mental toll as well.

This is really bringing to the fore one of the true limitations of big organizations in reacting to this. The levels of bureaucracy and meetings and sign-offs that we have to go through to make changes means that pretty much anything, at fastest, happens over the course of a few days. When the situation is literally evolving by the hour, that is no where near fast enough. Nimbleness is just not there.

I was looking for old soviet health posters for a friend when I saw this twitter. It looks like a local brand of toilet paper. It is so gritty that can be used in a workshop.
