There's a couple of Eastern European girls in my street I'd happily break the social distancing rules with. 😀 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be useful information if they also published the number of tests/million population. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/netherlands/ I just checked and the number of new confirmed cases is actually on a downward trend since Friday, but we did have a spike in casualties again the past reported 24 hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thai Spice Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Domestic travel ban starting slowly here. https://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2020/03/29/covid-19-jakarta-to-suspend-interprovincial-buses-as-mudik-persists.html The Miss still at the jungle house, but plan to travel back to Bali Tuesday morning. Bloody one week I am telling her this was coming... Plenty discussion on forums about the potential reaction of the population on this. People lost their job, no income, can not travel home .... Add the religious part to it, government will have to handle this delicately and make sure to have the religious leaders on their side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcfc2007 Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Here is a WHO chief refusing to answer why they will not permit Taiwan entry to the organisation. Taiwan being a sovereign democratic state. There are strong suspicions that Tedros and the WHO were paid by the Chinese in February to say they had the situation 'under control'. This makes me deeply suspicious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coxyhog Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 I checked departures from NY(the US hotspot for the lurg) to LHR & there are five flights scheduled for this evening. When we first got the UK citizens back from Wuhan they were quarantined for 14 days....what about all the folks on these flights? The Chinese are seriously vetting all arrivals for the lurg and not allowing any foreigners in....& they seem to be getting on top of it. Just a thought from someone sitting anxiously at home in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krapow Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Society starting to break down a bit in Southern Italy. Have watched news clips of people there screaming at the Police they have no money, no food, no help. Now organised social disorder/criminality/revolt/necessity, whatever you want to call it, where people have organised themselves as a group and went into supermarkets and just took what they need etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This can be life threatening to anyone. That's a rare case. The fatality rate for those under 50 is ridiculously low. The cure is worse than the disease. Shutting down the entire economy and society is going to be worse in the long run. Watch the rates of alcoholism, drug abuse, suicide, domestic violence sky rocket. South Korea which has had the most success in tackling this did not behave the way we have. Edited March 29, 2020 by dcfc2007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe this is the explanation ... Germany also took some from the Alsace region, where we have a high number of cases. Others were redispatched (by air) to other towns where atm there are less cases.

Mate of mine was due off an Eva flight at Heathrow tonight from LOS after his Friday flight was cancelled to Manchester with Emirates... His phone isn't on and I know the plane has landed .. He has to hire a car to get back to the NW tonight I cant even imagine 🙈 He may have been quarantined, because it's not like him to not switch it on .
