    I don’t know where you got this info. If it is from where I believe, it is followed by a (TBC) (TuBerCulosis? To Be Confirmed ?). Of course everyone is hoping that the moment comes as soon as possible; but perhaps, as history has shown, to start putting a lot of mediatic emphasis on things that cannot really be planned so precisely is not the best strategy.

    nessuno,

    That’s why I described it as a “tentative date”… I agree that there’s a good chance it will change.
