I called it. Their country is out of control. Chile predicted to have over 1000 cases next week. The Chileans cannot blame the government for this. If they do reach 1500 next week, it's all on the people for not listening to Piñera.

I posted this earlier. Like I said, this was all a big scheme by Trump. Let Coronavirus into the USA so that Mexico can close the border and finally pay Trump for his wall

This is brilliant. Well done Raja.

@nudge

86 cases in Peru now. Thankfully a drop in new cases from yesterday.

Again, I feel sorry for Piñera. He's done all he can and the Chileans are just doing whatever the hell they want. Cases have doubled in Chile since yesterday. 155 cases now.

And now a new type of Bird Flu has been discovered in the Philippines. We're all fucked

I know. My grandmothers maid had a huge conflict here this morning because she was told she wasn't allowed to come to work anymore. It's a problem especially in a country that is as poor as Peru. However, this is being done to avoid a health system collapse as Vizcarra knows how unprepared the doctors are to deal with this. We already have a Dengue outbreak too so the thing would be horrible to deal with. I wonder if we'll take similar measures to Italy in regards to finances but like you said, people need to feed their families and I wonder what we'll do in a country as poor as us. A lot of my best friends are middle class to below, so I'm most worried for them.

So we're under lock down and people are still driving around honking their horns happily going to work. Looks like the message wasn't properly understood Hope the police sort this out soon.

Some guy who had Coronavirus was supposed to self-isolate, but instead he jumped on a plane with 200 people on it from Santiago to Temuco. What an absolute dunce. Chile is fucked.

Official: Peru with presumably 71 cases has closed all borders, suspended all flights and we are in a 15 day quarantine. I'm glad common sense has prevailed. I just hope it's not too late. This also means I am stuck here but thankfully I'm not staying at a hotel so I don't mind it.

Rant time. As you know I am currently stuck in Peru. Flights haven't been cancelled yet but even if we do go on lock down today (which is what is predicted) this virus without even having it or knowing anyone that does is causing serious conflict between me and my parents who simply don't want to listen to me or medical advice. The Canadian government did order people to come back as soon as possible, but I think what my parents fail to realize is how dangerous an airport is. Even in a country with presumably 100 cases. So we're having strong disagreements. I care about protecting the society and helping it as much as I can, while they just want to go back home. What's worse is that they fail to understand that we aren't paying $500 a night in a hotel. I'm staying with my dads mother ffs. We all have Peruvian passports and there is really more risk in going to the airport, possibly contracting it and passing it to more people. I'm being called a coward and being told by them that "it's just a flu" as well being told I read media sensationalism too much when all I'm giving medical facts that I've read by official health centres on the net. Pandemics can be avoided. It's not the connected world that causes it, it's the stupidity of people in the world and the stubborness. Nobody wants to listen to facts, and it gets on my fucking tits. I'm taking a massive risk in staying in Peru because of medications, but it's either being killed by withdrawal symptoms or coronavirus. The latter would spread if it doesn't kill me. I also told my mother who is in Canada atm to talk to my doctor. She doesn't want to. Fucking pathetic. I'm tempted to turn this into a Twitter thread because this whole thing is sad to see.

About time someone spoke up. I was genuinely wondering about the experience from a survivor or someone who has it.

I was joking obviously, but in seriousness I still celebrate easter egg sunday. I just use it as an excuse for extra chocolate

Hearing rumours that the Easter Bunny is about to call off Easter. I want my fucking chocolates

I'm sorry but people really need to understand what "non-essential travel" means. My dad is trying to go back risking both our lives by going through an airport when we are staying at his mothers house, rent free for both. Even though there are factual statements by doctors and government officials that are telling people not to do so. He still doesn't get it. The attitude in people throughout this pandemic sickens me. Essential travel for me means going to do medical work or not being able to pay off the hotel you're in. We're doing neither.

It's an average death rate. It doesn't apply for everyone. What @nudge posted above is much more in depth and useful. Saying the death rate is 7% average doesn't tell me anything though. I need figures between ages and illnesses! Anyways, I think I'm gonna stay in Peru lock down or not. At this point there are bigger worries than to go back home. The virus seems to become worse news by day and I'm fearing for me and my families lives.

Why I think the overall mortality rate is inflated. You really need to take into account who is being affected. Reading a mortality rate of 7.5% makes you immediately become scared but you need to see who it is affecting the most. Well aware it can (and has) kill anyone but the elderly are most at risk.

71 cases in Peru now. Vizcarra needs to confirm the lock down today.

Vizcarra will deliver a message to the country today. Rumour is the whole country will be on lock down. The good is that this was much needed. Many people still going out. The bad is that I'm gonna be stuck here. Thankfully I'm in the country of my birth, but it's still gonna be annoying.

Watching the All England Open Badminton. Sounds like a packed stadium. What are they thinking? What will it take for the UK to close everything? Queen Elizabeth getting it?

I swear if this man ever becomes prime minister I will for the first time be annoyed at a Canadian election result. Every English speaking country seems to have their own Trump these days.
