According to the Management Plan, “anyone displaying a raised temperature will be advised to isolate for a period”. Additionally, the digitised access control system will limit entry to certain parts of the building, based on the number of people in the space.

A Train to Class: A Snowpiercer Review
As Snowpiercer is trending again, we’ve published a review looking at the ideological themes of the show.
Just like now, we see the struggle by a slim minority of us to maintain, sustain and develop an organic link to our class and ultimately facilitate the empowerment and emancipation of our class.
