Thank you Dr Ruffino, I enjoyed your ‘unprecedented’ piece. As someone who has needed to send out emails regarding adaptation of projects to this ‘unprecedented’ situation, I found myself repeatedly using the word, and at the same time questioning it. It was a convenient adjective and yet as I used it I knew I was being lazy, and trying to sound officious, or something, and that it was actually inaccurate. I mean, everything has precedents, surely? (Spanish flu epidemic of 1918 and the yellow fever outbreaks of the 18th century for example)
but it’s probably fair to say Coronavirus Outbreak's Impact on Airlines is Without Any Precedent (News18.com)
