Corona Virus

[Marcin]

Wish you all good health and no problems with actual epidemic. I hope it ends soon without more victims.

Today I had to cancel all my listings on eBay because of no possibility to send international mail since Monday.

I'm hoping to be able to suspend my care plan until the risk is over. I have enough food stockpiled to survive more than 6 months if I have to. Due to underlying health conditions, I would be at high risk if I catch it, so hope to be able to go into lockdown mode from today

With the UK government's response to the crisis (let it run its course, survivors will develop immunity), I don't have high hopes of containment. If anything, their response will make the UK the epicentre soon.

A rather unusual topic name on this forum. In any case, all the best health

Was going to post a similar topic haha

People have asked, things are a little crazy in the USA, mostly everyone panic buying toilet paper and hand sanitizer

The USPS remains open and functioning.

Outbound International packages will be slower as they are going on more cargo then commercial flights

AVICC remains open, not much else to do but stay home and sort CPUs anyways LOL

Here in the Netherlands public schools are closing. And everyone who can work from home should do that, so I'm working from home the next few weeks. And I'd someone has complains like a little cough of a snottery nose, they must stay home.

And everybody is supposed to stay at home, unless you need something from the store. I don't think it gonna take a long time before we have a total lockdown here.

Last Friday some people started to buy lots of toilet paper and food in thin cans. However, so far they have everything in store. I always have enough food in house to cover 2 weeks, but I don't think it's necessary.

Like I said the schools are closing, but also the day care for the little ones. So that means that from now 2 days a week I'm not able to work because my girlfriend works 2 days a week, and I need to take care for my son.

I hope that it won't last longer than a few weeks. I read that they are busy with vaccines, but with a bit of bad luck this becomes the new flue.

Not sure if you all have seen the videos of people fighting in supermarkets over toilet paper here in Australia, but yeah, it's... something

Here in Hong Kong has the similar situation. All toilet paper and cleaning materials was sold out in Mid-Feb. However, the supply remain normal now. We just hope that we can overcome this virus.

It is crazy in Australia. All toilet paper rolls, fresh meat, rice, flour, spam, hand sanitizer, etc are gone. There are videos on social media that people are fighting with each other for a pack of toilet rolls.

All international travellers arrive Australia needs to self-isolate for 14 days.

We have been directed to work from home as mandatory from today.

Hope everyone here is well and take care of yourself and your family!

The reason for people buying all that toilet paper is, that every time someone coughs or sneezes, other people instantly sh*t their pants Other than that - yeast is nowhere to be found - people stockpile that. I'm not sure if they even think about buying flour

Joke aside - Denmark is closed as well. Since Thursday, the prime minister urged people to keep children home from school, daycare etc. As of today all educational institutes are closed, as well as every public administration not serving life critical purposes. And since Saturday at noon, Danish borders have been closed for all entry if not having proof of a "qualified" reason for entering.

Washington Post has a great simulation, showing why we should follow the recommendations, and why the actions actually work: https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2020/world/corona-simulator/?itid=hp_hp-banner-low_virus-simulator520pm%3Ahomepage%2Fstory-ans&fbclid=IwAR1Hubr4GC1ezqBAaa4cSMaqiSCCUUmenPOaeKkpCy-rk2PmxuIjvneZqx4

Really worth watching, after clicking all that cookie stuff etc.

Here in France, everything is closing. Except shops and gas station.
I'm working at home since last Wednesday.
Plants start to close (I'm working for Peugeot Citroën carmaker)...

We are waiting now for the next speech of our president, today 8 o'clock, who will certainly forbid everybody to go out of house except for buying food...
Panic mode.
