I have no idea what to add to this thread (maybe because I don't give much of a damn about cars so long as they work when I need to go). Possibly they end up with a 8 litter engine or something like that.
Rather poor - maybe I should just scratch this post and call it even.

I think: "Who cares?"
It's probably a "corporate identity" thing. I don't use it, so it doesn't bother me in the slightest.

To be honest, not the first lockdown and not this we should face have not much effect on me...
If I can commute I do, otherwise working from home...
But! There are a few - or even more than a few - who lost their job (including my big brother, who was on unpaid leave for a few months)... As I understand this time there will be no restrictions on the workforce, except if the nature of the work implies crowd (like sport, theater, hotels, restaurants and such)...
At my office we keep distance in an average day, so not much changed there... Probably part of the colleges will work form home, to keep an eye on the kids, but as my wife works from home most of the time anyways, no problem there either...
The only problem that we are under extreme pressure to enable full online learning - including exams... A lot of work...
(because of the holiday season I have only 7 days of work left until the end of the 3 weeks lockdown planned)

Well...
- As a result of the behavior of many of the ministers and other bigwigs during the last lockdown and since, the Government has very low credibility.
- Israel is an extremely diverse country. We have a serious problem of disobedience to the Coronavirus regulations among certain groups.
- We have a Prime Minister who is under trial for bribery, fraud and breach of trust, refuses to resign, at least one minister under suspicion of the same, and weekly protests calling on the Government to resign.
- We have very high unemployment, businesses have closed, etc. The tourism, entertainment, and retail businesses have been worst hit, but everyone has been affected to some extent.
In short, the actual Coronavirus is the least of our problems. 
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

You phrased that very gently... Maybe you meant that 'low' === 'converges to zero'...

Total guess, and I know it's wrong ... but it's the only gourd I can think of with eight letters ...

Got the word (with google help), but I couldn't get the solution. Although I only spent a couple mins on it.

Take the word for "good or bad luck, viewed as resulting from one's actions" for example.
It's spelt as "K-A-R-M-A", but pronounced as " "

I have heard it described as a mixture between latin languages, where all vowels and consonents are pronounced in a consistent manner, and character based languages like Mandarin.
So - trough, bough, though, thought are essentially character based words as the pronunciation of the "ough" is different in each.
Which leads to fish being spelt ghoti.

Even stranger is that this is closely connected to the concept of 'Schadenfreude', wich you don't have a word for.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.
