[ASF]

1.020 cases in Portugal now. Six deads. In 3 weeks.

Won't be suprised if by the end of the month we'll have over 2.000 infected people.

One of my closest friends asked me for 100 soles because she has no way to get food due to a lack of gas in her car. This whole situation is horrible. I think the intention of lockdown is good but the whole process wasn't thought of so well.

Just read that they will send 100 planes from several airlines to bring back our citizens from all over the world, specially Europe and the Americas.

Nice one.

Meanwhile Air Canada is laying off their staff, right before a potential rescue of their citizens. Not looking good

It took me far too long to realise 'soles' was a currency and you didn't mean the part of the shoe.

Scandal in the US as 4 republican senators had been given warnings about how bad this would get in January so they sold stocks before market volatility, while investing in teleconference and working from home companies.

They should be thrown in prison.

People are always quick to condemn political violence when we look back at history, but it's a simple fact of life that there are people who have no place in society, except at the bottom of a ditch.

We need to go into lockdown. People are fucking idiots, and far too dangerous if left to their own devices.

I 100% agree! There will be too many idiots out there who will fck things up for others, the government should enforce a lockdown for everyone's sake.

I might go back to Canada today. If a plane arrives they'll let us know last minute. 

The whole thing will be a bureaucratic nightmare, but there's not much else as an option.

Fucking hell it's so grim in Italy.

The UK needs to lockdown before it gets that bad.

Something like a lock down for leisure and hospitality now. Better something than nothing. 

Job retention scheme, and increase to UC introduced. 

Finally a modicum of leadership.

We are living through a genuine nightmare. People trapped in other countries, friends asking others for money because they can't work or get food, people going to jail for trying to help their families and breaking curfew, and of course all the deaths due to the virus itself.

I'm calm despite everything, but this is going to take a huge toll on many things for the future.

Have a feeling this pandemic won't end til we have a vaccine or some form to develop immunity. The spread is simply beyond control now.

[Azeem]

This made me realize that whether rich or poor governments weren't prepared for this because of all the progress in science and medicine no one really thought this would happen at such scale and public isn't ready either generations before us faced World Wars, great depressions, famines etc at we thought we won't have to sacrifice or face anything like this.

Cafes, pubs and restaurants now have to close from tonight. Takeaways still allowed. 

About fucking time in this country tbf.

Humanity has gotten through much worse and will get through this as well. 

But the Italian numbers are staggering. I'm still hoping it starts decreasing in a few days as the impact of the 14 days of the quarantine starts to show...
