Off topic but this crossed my mind instantly . ” “What is being done locally to protect people from …” asbestos? fire fighting foam? alcohol?

Its an extraordinary image in the blog source link btw of the protest using images of people in a Geneva street. Wow. Mmmmm, the logistics to do the same with say, deceased victims of domestic violence, tobacco, workplace accidents, or starvation.

Their group happened to be staying fairly close to the area. They found out about it the morning after when CBS called the hotel and asked to speak to the tour leader. “What is being done locally to protect people from the nuclear reactor explosion?” was the first question. “Er, what nuclear reactor explosion. I may have to get back to you.” was the response of the guide. The folks at the hotel hadn’t heard anything either.
