About 17 European countries have closed down schools. I received word yesterday I get a whopping 38 days off. Schools in the Netherlands, Bulgaria and certain regions of Spain and Germany are still open, for now. Bulgaria's schools were closed last week because af a 'regular' influenza epidemic. Bulgarian parents themselves asked for schools to reopen on Monday.
The UK's decided to use a new tactic called 'herd immunity'. Only we here would come up with such a thing.
Spain's on complete lockdown.
Europe has been declared the centre of the pandemic.
Mexico planning to close the US border.
The Brazilian President apparently testing positive.
In Turkey there has only been 5 cases. It's shocking to me the precautions Turkey took before anyone else. They closed the border with Iran straight away, banned flights from China, Italy immediately to. The joke there is the government will do anything in it's power to keep our illustrious President alive. His bodyguards walk around with thermal cameras now so nobody can get close to him.
If Trump would have halted all flights and closed all borders two weeks ago, the media would have been calling him a dictator and a nazi.Quote:

This is the world and ecosystem we live in the virus is older than humans, it’s not going anywhere.

What's more scary now is that this could potentially shut down businesses and start a recession.
BoJack Johnson should take more precautions. If not this could turn ugly for the UK quickly.

Well they better have it next time.
Cleveland Clinic has like 20 plus quare blocks of buildings at the main campus and more around the state.
All the money they generate they’re not ready for this? And I don’t want to hear them blaming politicians either.
In England they are doing absolutely nothing they aren't even testing people, if you haven't had contact with someone who has tested positive the authorities here will not test you. They haven't shut schools, haven't banned flights from mainland Europe they only banned Italy. Everywhere is still open here with the government only encouraging people not to go.
People are going nuts to today I thought I would go for a walk and I notice every car that went by the back was filled with shopping bags. One thing this shows is that Europeans in times of crisis are no different from Middle Easterners or Asians. The levels of stupidity and ignorance is mind boggling.
The doomsday buying trend is absolutely pointless. I went to a supermarket earlier and saw a few aisles with literally no stock. It's not like you need to only eat pasta and shit yourself several times as much as usual because of this goofy virus.
On Ebay, a can of Lysol disinfectant spray goes for $16-$30 a can. I got lucky Sunday night to find disinfectant wipes. Unbelievable.Quote:

neander-ebola = buy toilet paper
Hopefully it picks up pace so I can get additional PTO. We're doing a weekend in New Orleans and I wouldn't mind enjoying my obvious immunity to this for a whole week now that hotels are basically free.
