Morgan Freeman sold Batman technology overseas instead of destroying it. Really puts his sanctimonious little speeches into perspective! |

He pointed to Wetherspoon sales which have been “positive in the last few weeks in spite of storms and health scares” as evidence that this position would be “in tune with the robust instincts of the nation.” "Lockdown delays the inevitable and destroys the tax base at the same time, which will cripple the NHS and the economy,” Martin said. |

monday: paper towels, TP cleared out. canned goods low, but present. prepackaged cheese missing some types, low on others, but mostly fine. today: canned goods gone. cheese all gone, except for some odd bricks. never seen shelves so empty. the only thing they had that i wanted was more sugar-free red bull, and there, they did not have packs, just individual cans. i took six and stopped there to leave the rest for someone else. i figure there is a sort of siphon effect in this sort of situation: people see the shelves emptying, and think, "fuck, i'd better get stuff now!" and buy more than they usually would. seeing stuff they'd usually get gone, they start panic buying shit they normally would never bother with in any case, there is officially no longer a point in going out to the store. at least for a good few days |
||||||||

yeah its like reaching the event horizon of a black hole, before you realise the situation its already too late people are panic buying now because the people who previously panic bought caused the scarcity in the first place, so now you have to stock up otherwise you wont have anything. Having said that I haven't really bought anything yet |

skipped shopping from fri to tuesday, heard there were empty shelves, figured ill just wait awhile, let goods be restocked on monday, folks trample the shit out of each other on monday and tuesday and just do groceries on wednesday (today) so, today we went to two arabic grocery stores to get veggies, fruit and goat cheese, the marketstall to get eggs & potatoes, the new environment friendly store that sells unwrapped goods only to get my bottle of milk & noodles and the bakery to get a bread. every shelve was filled to the top, hardly any to no queues. worked out rather well, once people stocked up, theyre done with it and go get some ice cream, really sunny today. next hurdle for us to take is to avoid contact, as in going to the mall, taking a stroll in crowded areas, having corona parties and meetups every day, storming the hardware stores and plant markets because if we ignore the quarantine the state gave us with closing lots down, we sabotage the purpose of it, which government says would lead to a real quarantine and house arrest for everybody who doesnt need to work in critical jobs as mo experiences it in italy right now. we re good for about a week or two and have no absolute need to leave the house. we have cancelled visitors and try to stick with it. hopefully doing something good in helping preventing the spread. |

terrible isnt it, seems to live into an underdeveloped country guess who had the most commercial relatioships with china |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Off the top of my head I'd guess the US is China's biggest trading partner, if that's what you mean. Or you mean Italy imports the most barrels of Chinese phlegm? 🤮 |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
i mean in europe, maybe we've got whole football teams sold to them, thats how you measure commercial trade in italy |
||||||||
|
|

|

italy now officially has more cases than china some italians don't seem to give a fuck the measurements in china will never be applicable in europe. if we won't get a vaccination we will be fucked. this will fuck up the whole 2020, definitely this fucking sucks. hard |

if people don't stay home they harm their country italians and spanish people need to get their shit together no fucking socialising anymore. for 2 months people say british and german people are similar culturally, but i hope germans are as contact unfriendly as their reputation these days |

Its very depressing to get a increasing death toll each day, I had people on facebook saying the flu kills more people per year, yeah it would if the rate of infection stays the same for corvid but it isn't, its going to increase dramatically we only have tens of thousands of people in each country badly effected, imagine when it gets to hundreds of thousands and millions, then people will really fucking panic hard, the virus worries me but the behaviour of society really worries me more, Ive seen a few photos of elderly people trying to do their shopping but their is fuck all available for them, there are some right bastards doing this, they should record them all and when its all over fine them for creating a supply crisis |

a vaccine will take 12 to 18 months until then ill try to stay home as much as possible everyone in prague needs to wear a facemask already |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah it seems like we are in it for the long haul, where I an in the north west there is a relatively small amount of deaths so far, London is not surprisingly the epicentre, I think we are a few weeks behind Italy on the curve which is a frightening thought, there is no escaping whats going to happen it seems |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the npr said "we are two weeks behind italy" and perhaps that is about accurate. |

The Guardian manages to at last find the angle they were looking for, that "communities" will be hardest hit, by delivering . It was only a matter of time... |

My mate just texted me saying did I fancy going for a walk in the park on Saturday which i thought was a good idea, lots of space, don't have to go bear anyone. Then he followed it up with "and then we can go for a couple of drinks". No, No... no we can't. We'll buy some cans and drink them on a bench like civilised people. I feel a bit fatalist as my partner's coming back from Australia today, via fucking Doha, and has said her plane was delayed as they had to take coughing people off, so, without wishing to seem self-centred, that's me fucked unless I tell her to bugger off for a fortnight. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
where else would she go for 14 days without being a risk to others? maybe you ought to just cave in for 14 days together and get your neccessaries delivered if you run out of anything. unless you count yourself into the risk group for any reason of course. |
||||||||

via fucking Doha *roger turning the epidemic over and over like a puzzle piece in his hands trying to fit it into his worldview* kuh... koranavirus? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
for myself, i see this shit more like worldwide scabies, that are very hard to get rid off but. people with chronic conditions are at risk, but roger and his girl will be fine, even if they catch corona, assuming they don't have other sicknesses I'm sick right now but its not very bad. I don't think its corona, but I stay home as much as possible, I just put myself under quarantine. I don't need officials telling me what to do. When I get breathing problems i call the doctor. If i can't get a doctor on the phone I call the emergency. But that won't happen. I believe this is true and news that post other stories are just in for the clickbait I'm afraid of my mom getting it, because she doesnt seem to care about it too much and she can barely walk 200m. just found out through my sister that she took the kids of my cousin for the weekend… |

That is a dumb and irresponsible article. Most deaths in Italy are among the old and people with underlying conditions because they're the ones getting triaged out of treatment with ventilators. Doctors are prioritizing people with a better chance of survival. That doesn't mean young and healthy people aren't getting so sick they require hospitalization and ICU. Many are. And they're crowding out the old and infirm. |

I honestly believe drinking steadily, staunchly, stoically and heavily, wards it off. Breakfast: Wine. Lunch: Wine. Snack: Wine. Dinner: Wine. After Dinner until going to bed: Wine. |

If you keep at it alone in your apartment, with occasional curt nods to drinkers across the way, then yes. |

Roger I thought you would be self isolating in Wetherspoons |

My brother said he saw someone with 24 loafs in a shopping trolley Then he said he saw some guy with 8 tins of cat food and when he got to the till he was told "sorry but you can only have 4" the guy replied with "don't apologise to me.. apologise to the cat" |

I rarely drink in the pub, far too expensive. Even a godless budget Wetherspoons. I'm working from home, just a bit more wrecked than normal. Productivity is as erratic as ever, moments of genius between vast lacuna of "will this do?" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that frazzled twat has the place still open, probably cos he knows it will go bankrupt in a few months. Yeah my brother is working from home, he seems to be inundated with emails and whats app messages, I think he secretly prefers it cos he is get hassled by lecturers less |
||||||||

|

Hope your partner is alright, last place you want to get coughed on is a flight from Doha, probably diseases on that plane that are new to science |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmm, you have a valid point there. they are already in catastrophe mode… argh |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well this is it, I mean, I know I am deeply Islamophobic and irredeemably racist, but... come on, Doah... I just know I am going to get it now, apparently people were coughing the whole flight.... and it won't just be Coronavirus, it'll be as Danza says, Koranavirus, which is doubly galling for a crusader infidel like myself. |

my friend, who is a bit younger than me had a very hard time breathing on the morning and went to get tested today. he will know tuesday next week |

they have MERS (middle eastern respiratory syndrome) which is much more deadly than corona, but thankfully doesn't spread far cos it kills the host quickly, I think you can get it from being too near camels |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
all the best for your mate, its not something anyone at any age wants even if it doesn't kill you, my mates mum has suspected corona, she has been in ben all this week |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
better than ben being in her all week, amirite (i'll get me coat) |

Click through and watch the video. Note that the balloon head things are not ventilators. A real ventilator is when they stick tubes down your trachea. That's what they're short of. The Bergamo hospital's survival rate for corona is 50% |
