@smbsy Love the idea - doesn't it get terribly expensive on a larger scale though?

@majick @tagir_valeev As much as I love to talk about alert noise/fatigue, in that case other factors were contributing.
A bit of pressure from the supermarket chain, a bit of leftover mentality from the russian occupation times. Similar to the "I'm not afraid of no virus, I'm not gonna mask!" etc.

@majick @tagir_valeev There could be some cases where the test checks sound etc, where evacuation is not the drill, but those indeed would be exceptions.

In Latvia, in 2013 fire alarms were repeatedly set off in a supermarket. Security just reset them, and employees & shoppers returned, then ignored the alarms.
The building collapsed and 54 people died.

Whenever I hear a fire alarm, I first get the fuck out, then I figure out what's happening.

@sunnythesheep @UlrikeHahn @pink @_elena @euronews That's a good one, but the initial comment likely referenced the "EU is not launching or funding any social media platform" part
