I don’t claim to know what happened, but China’s super secretive behavior on it at the beginning, as well as being super controlling when the WHO delegation went to investigate, are enough reasons for me to strongly suspect it. No, I don’t have evidence, and I’m not following the scientific method, and there can be other explanations, but humans are humans.

More like xenophobia, really. If you’re a black tourist from the USA ready to spend money, they’ll love you.

Fun fact: as I discovered, “continents” are defined differently depending on which country you’re in, they are not the same worldwide. In Europe, America is a big continent and includes both north and south, and the continent including Australia is called “Oceania”. In “America” (USA), there’s North and South America as separate continents, and the continent including Australia is called … Australia… and yes, the USA is just America, because, yeah.

Once again a misleading headline: No, Nissan isn’t evil trying to force people to buy a new car (Edit: well maybe a bit, see replies). Those older cars rely on 2G connectivity, which is soon to be shut down in the UK, so they are sunsetting support for the features relying on it…

TL;DR: The 2G network they rely on is shutting down.
