Coronavirus - how is it/has it affected you?

He's definitely still lurkung as he has liked a few of my posts recently but not sure why he's not posting, perhaps a run in with MODs, we've all had those on occasions. But that's merely speculation, hopefully he and his family are well and unaffected by the virus.

That’s the concern around the approach that China has taken - so only very slow lifting of restrictions likely.

A month or so ago I read on wikipedia about the spanish flu. I read it as comparisons were being made to that and this virus. It was very informative. However what did open my eyes was the fact that the spanish flu was far far worse the second time around.
Ironically, Trump who is calling this The Chinese Virus should remember the Spanish flu so named after the death of a member of the spanish royal family, originated in America.

Missis T has been set an email. From an ex pal',/ workmates. the local hospital has told all its staff to be careful coz petrol pumps handles are passing on the virus. Just had a 5 mins conversation on fb coz a guy says its bollox. Sometimes when trying to help folk you can despair.

I'm in the same boat mate
( Or car rather)
No work
Nobody going anywhere
Nowhere to take them to anyway

The government has done loads so far, so not being critical, but as such, no mention of us self employed, who's earnings have plummeted to next to nothing
Hopefully something comes up shortly for people in our situation......
 
Watching cable news in the US, it appears that absolutely nothing else is going on in the world.
All virus, all the time--that's what's being discussed.

The only other subject even closely approached on the channels that I watch is what a complete idiot our orangutan president is.

Queues of traffic trying to leave Madrid today. Police are stopping all of them and asking for proof of primary address, of where they are going. Anyone not having that proof is being turned back AND fined €30,000.

Yes you read it right. €30,000.

Police locally have set up a number of road blocks today. Must have a valid reason for going out. Must be going to your nearest shop. Must have a receipt if you've been shopping - no loading up bags from your cupboard. €1,000 fine if you can't satisfy the local Police. And if your address isn't local, its €30,000.

Army are well in evidence too.
