Coronavirus

I'm annoyed with how lax UK government is being. They need to make a decision and stick with it, no more "suggesting". If they want people to stop going out then they need to enforce it. Close restaurants/bars/public places sure, but help the owners with their payments. Don’t just suggest that people should stay indoors -- that way everyone loses out because (a) most people wont take it seriously, and (b) those that do will result in reduced footfall, meaning the places will lose money with no help.

Also make it clear if I can travel or not so i don’t lose money on my trip for next week THANKS

Yes thank you. I hate how lax government are here too like, they say stay home if you have to be forced into quarantine etc. but how do you pay those that are healthy and can work when they are forced to be home? A lot of us like me can't really shelve books and stuff from home or do reservations etc. so yeah...

i think it's good they don't shut down all primary schools though, because they're usually small-ish and the kids are in contact with the same people every day. and if the kids are all home, their parents who might have jobs that require them to go outside have to stay home as well :I

stockholm university said they were moving all activity to online platforms instead of in school, so now i have an oral presentation tomorrow in an app i have never used before. lol.

also my dad will work from home for the next two weeks because his company told their employees to not go to their offices. aaaaaaaaaaaa
 
In Austria everything except for supermarkets, drugstores, pharmacies, doctors/hospitals and banks are closed now. People are supposed to work from home if at all possible. People are only allowed to go out if they need to (buy stuff, go to work, walk dogs, ...)
The domestic airlines are going to stop all commercial flights soon. Traveling for fun/vacation is not allowed.

The government is preparing huge grants to businesses to save them and prevent people from losing their jobs.

Omg no they said all of SU are moving??.... what the actual hell. They never sent out stuff so I hope it's just some but with this situation probs not. (cool you are at SU though, I'm as well.) Also my class would be useless to do online since it requires IRL seminars and discussion and we're also an old ppl class mainly.

And yeah I agree about kids and preschools though.
 
Just found out that my partner had direct contact with someone who tested positive for Coronavirus :/ I called my doctor and now I’m self-isolating for 2 weeks.

Will keep you all updated on what will happen with that now.

Things have ramped up on my end. Stores and malls have reduced hours, international flights are being directed at fewer airports, suspension of many public events, closures of restaurants and bars, limiting the people crossing the Canadian borders (unless they're the citizen of the country), being urged to return home, being urged to stay home as much as possible, social distancing, and perhaps many more that I'm not aware of. My dentist appointment has been canceled today because of this virus, and many other places look deserted. I just want to give a huge thanks to those in healthcare and those combating the virus and finding the vaccine for it. We need to kick the virus's butt by everyone doing our part! Stay safe to all, and I really mean it!

Yikes, please don't go into panic mode. It's not going to make things any better. Be sure to stay informed on reliable sources and looking after yourself. It's quite disgusting how some people are capitalizing on others by scalping toilet paper and hand sanitizers.
 
My school just shut down til april 20th... Im so annoyed and scared. What is even going on anymore.

We just went on a big shopping trip and are self quarantining. The only time we’re going out is to get my preorder of new horizons at our local gamestop friday.

It's not lax. It's very strategical, scientifically evidential and reasonable theory in long term.
I'd be amazed for his bravery and staying so subjective in the situation where it must be under incredible pressure.
Also are you guys aware, that a group of 20 or so "scientists" who expressed they're opposed to this strategy doesn't include even 1 professional from the virus infection field?

Hey, it's alright. We're closed schools, limiting gatherings, being wary of our health..but don't worry!

The Olympics aren't going to be postponed!

Whoever's in the mailroom was just appointed 'head decision-maker' apparently.
 
eeeee in australia we have 370+ cases now! in a span of one day it was raised like by 150 cases.

Im honestly screwed. 2 reasons
1. cant pick up acnh.
2. I have to go to city to do tafe.

and i want to quote my sis: "Students want schools to shut down even if they die of corona."
I believe all schools will close next week where i live

I'm curious to see how many countries/athletes boycott.

Hi! As my doctor had recommended, I will be staying home. I have enough supplies to last me a couple of weeks and a group support system that is willing to bring me groceries. I have everything set up in place to not leave my house. :) I’m not going into panic mode but it is anxiety inducing, not gonna lie lol.

Do you realize that this "scientific approach" just means valuing the economy over human lives? The politicians are even saying out loud that they are sacrificing like half of their elderly population. It's true that that will be better for the economy, the UK won't have to worry about elderly care anymore & there will be less stress on the health care system when the elderly people "just die". Yeah, scientifically that sounds like a plan. But this is not what the EU stands for.

The UK has been suffering under austerity politics for years, as funding for stuff like libraries and health care have gotten cuts after cuts. This is just the next step of the UK putting money over quality of life for the commoner and over human lives.

It's the politics of a country that doesn't regard human life as sacred anymore. In Europe in 2020.

If you have watched Psycho Pass, this is exactly what the system would do.
 
In my place we don't have a lot of cases but pretty much everything non essential is closed, many workers work from home.
 
My classes have been moved online because of it, but my work has yet to close. We'll see what happens..
 
Just got word today that my school’s spring break is being extended and we’re moving to online classes. Sigh...
