Was Covid-19’s closest relative discovered in

a mine? The world’s “closest known relative” to the Covid-19 virus was found in 2013 by Chinese scientists in an abandoned mine. The virus found in its depths was part of a faecal sample that was frozen and sent to a Chinese laboratory for analysis and storage. Nearly seven years later it “erupted” as Covid-19. The

Scientists predict one million tests by

Christmas. Scientists say that Britain will be carrying out a million coronavirus tests a day by Christmas. The government has spent more than £500 million in the past fortnight on new laboratory-based testing machines. A senior scientist said: “It’s going pretty well. They have really scaled up their capabilities. By Christmas we’ll be at a million a day, I think. That seems perfectly possible. The

Suits are going out of fashion. Formal wear is gathering dust as people have traded suits for sweatpants during the pandemic. Suits ranked among the most discounted and worst selling items in parts of Europe in September, including France, Germany and Italy, according to data compiled by StyleSage. It’s also affecting the wider supply chain: Reuters reports that merino wool farmers in Australia are switching to other forms of agriculture to survive, while wool mills in northern Italy increasingly produce casual wear and fabrics that don’t stain or crease easily. Lack of demand has also forced several retailers in Europe and the US to close stores permanently. Metro

Recession not as bad as first feared. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has predicted the global economy won’t suffer quite as severe a recession as previously forecasted. In its World Economic Outlook, the IMF predicts the global economy will contract by 4.4% this year, which is 0.8 percentage points smaller than its June estimate. It expects the UK economy to decline by 9.8% in 2020 (down from the June forecast of 10.2%). The only G7 economy predicted to experience a sharper decline is Italy – with a predicted 10.6% decrease. The report notes that tourism-dependent economies are in a “particularly difficult spot”. BBC

THE BEST CONSUMERS’ MARKET ON THE COSTA is the middle represented by high level consumers who need to know you

To be known on the Costa you need to advertise your message all the time because PEOPLE COME AND PEOPLE GO CONSTANTLY

Too many social media pages with announcements of short duration are time consuming for limited exposure. Unless you are as well known as Johnnie Walker or Pepsi Cola driving past large signs on the roads is not the answer. Unless you can afford to advertise on National Radio and Television Channels your audience is limited to a few locals and only sometimes.

Too many cheap publications promoting illegal businesses, leaflets and means to save money cannot have the desired effect on the desired market.

PRINTING IS YOUR BEST ANSWER BUT...

Newspapers are expensive, they are not designed to target/reach your desired consumer, they do not represent the quality of your business and they mix your business with too many others including competitors. Quality, expensive looking magazines are a good option but the cost is high and they do not justify the return.

WEB EXPRESS GUIDE 18 years ago was created as your most sensible answer to the problem
