COVID-19 Has Exacerbated Already Severe Psychological Harm Associated With Working for the EPO

Summary: This video deals with an old publication (hitherto unavailable to the general public) about COVID-19 and the EPO; it also speaks of the misuse of this pandemic for censorship and misuse of the patent system to monopolise vaccination, pricing it out of reach for the majority of this world

As noted over a week ago, Germany is "classing the UK as a risk area for the Omicron variant and stating that new travel rules would be put in place." Or as others put it, Germany "tries to slow the spread of Omicron." They already implemented partial lock-downs earlier this month, so two years after COVID-19 had entered Europe the issue is far from resolved (media isn't helping). Today we'd like to publish a document from the early days of this pandemic [PDF] (not too long after it was classified as such). It was cited in that same year by the Central Staff Committee.



"They already implemented partial lock-downs earlier this month, so two years after COVID-19 had entered Europe the issue is far from resolved.""Working from home in times of Coronavirus" is still relevant to the situation in 2022 because workers are encouraged to work from home and there's no end in sight. As SUEPO Munich put it, "the Office bears alone the operational risk and it must accept the consequences of the Coronavirus crisis, even if it is not responsible for it."
