Yeah I know, we all have to do it. My other pal "Pham" texted me last night, wants to know if I can come over to her house and we can do some "pilates" together LOL! Like all of you, I am on complete over load with all the media 24/7...I know it's necessary, but so many conflicting stories. Ok so now even the younger people are coming downed testing positive in record numbers and half the patients in ER in France are under 50 for this when a few weeks ago it was just us old folks at most risk? Ibuprofen is now not good when you have this particular fever? It may make it worse? Got my first "scam" call last night at 7:00pm on the landline here at the house....could tell the Nigerian accent asking me to donate to this charity that is now going to help the people in Italy. I listened to his BS, told me if I gave him my credit card #, he would just charge $25 to this charity. I politely told him not a chance. Unbelievable. I just shut it down this morning,as a result from some questions from health officials.Sorry buddy,you’re on your own.🙁🙁😢😢 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were in a small village with a small grocery shop owned by a Chinese couple and a pharmacy. Their British friend who lives there was going to take them to the airport, but police informed him that if he did, he would be fined €600! But that it would be ok for a taxi to take them on the 30 minute journey. How the feck does that work? Still only 3 people in the car! Apparently, only a maximum of 2 foreigners are allowed in a car on their own, but 3 people (2 foreigners and 1 Spanish) is allowed. Whoever came up with that dumb rule must have some Thai blood swirling around their brain. 🙃 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Penevil Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Live updates: Illinois, California, Florida and New York increase restrictions because of coronavirus By Siobhán O'Grady March 20, 2020 at 6:24 p.m. EDT Restrictions are dramatically ramping up amid the growing coronavirus pandemic, with Illinois and its 13 million residents — 10 million in the Chicago area — the latest to join California by moving closer to an effective lockdown. Meantime, New York told nonessential workers to stay home, Florida closed restaurants, bars and gyms amid spring-break revelry, and the U.S.-Mexico border is closing to nonessential travel. Here are some significant developments: More than 250,000 cases have been confirmed across the globe. The World Health Organization noted that it took more than three months to reach 100,000 cases worldwide — but only 12 days to log the next 100,000. The number of deaths and confirmed cases continues to surge in Spain and Iran. For a second consecutive day, China reported no new local infections. But concerns are growing about a new wave of imported cases elsewhere in the region: Hong Kong reported its biggest daily jump in cases Friday, including many that involved recent travel. Italy announced another record-breaking death toll on Friday: 627, up from 427 the previous day. The country cited 9,600 people in one day for violating lockdown. New York Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo ordered all workers in his state to stay home, except for those in essential services. The move came after California Gov. Gavin Newsom ordered 40 million residents to remain at home.

Horizondave Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Well my wife and little one are isolating at home for the foreseeable future, no school or work for them, me I am off to work tonight and my company may be not only delivering food through the night but might be taking on other services. Interesting times, I am feeling fit to do it and intend on staying safe, just happy it was last summer that I had my heart operation, not so sure how things would have panned out had it been this year. Not even thinking about travel to Thailand let alone anywhere, might even save some money. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trump "Lets start with an update about the Chinese virus" Reporter "Why do you keep calling it the Chinese virus. Thats so racist." Trump 'No its not racist. I call it that because it comes from China. CHINA!." FAF 7 hours ago, Krapow said: Aye, he's always saying it, just right too, little cunts. I wonder what Trump will do when it's pointed out that the H1N1 virus which caused the so called "swine flu" pandemic of 2009 originated in the US although identified in Mexico which is why it's PMD (pandemic mexican disease) and not PAD. American swine flu. And then of course, the 1918 H1N1 pandemic. There have been statements that the epidemic originated in the United States. Historian Alfred W. Crosby stated in 2003 that the flu originated in Kansas, and popular author John Barry described Haskell County, Kansas, as the point of origin in his 2004 article. It has also been stated by historian Santiago Mata in 2017 that, by late 1917, there had already been a first wave of the epidemic in at least 14 US military camps. So why is it called the Spanish Flu? To maintain morale, World War I censors minimized early reports of illness and mortality in Germany, the United Kingdom, France, and the United States. Papers were free to report the epidemic's effects in neutral Spain, such as the grave illness of King Alfonso XIII, and these stories created a false impression of Spain as especially hard hit. This gave rise to the pandemic's nickname, "Spanish flu". Historical and epidemiological data are inadequate to identify with certainty the pandemic's geographic origin.
