My main thoughts right now...
Can we please choose just one name? I was fine with Corona, I'm fine with changing to COVID, but not both at the same damn time!

I would be lying if I say I'm not worried about it and the most people will be same.
In The Netherlands all schools/kindergarten/uni/college are closed until 6th April. All the pubs, restaurants, cinema's, venues, museums, sports gym, sex clubs and coffee shops (where you can buy weed) are closed until 6th April as well. People are asked to work from home if possible. Dentists and hair dressers are cancelling all the appointments. Really quiet at station and in the town as many people don't travel to work/school by a public transport. Supermarket, drugstore, hospitals are open.
Last night Dutch Prime Minister did a speech to the Dutch nations on a national TV saying that sooner or later majority of the people here will get a corona virus. That's a hard fact we can't avoid at the moment. However most people who get/got affected with virus will get a minor symptome and will built up self "defense" system in their bodies unless they avoid social contact as much as possible. He said that we should work together on this way to avoid too many people get ill at same time and to avoid work pressure for the medical staffs. We can reduce the speed of infection until the vaccine is found. He also said this country won't be locked down despite of another EU countries.
The most people who watched his speech last night appreciated his speech and so did/do I. Germany has closed the border except for The Netherlands and Belgium, but I think it won't be longer that they will close the West and South border as well. EU countries will decide if they decline non-EU travellers for 30 days to enter EU or not this afternoon.
Meanwhile the situation in China and South Korea seems a bit calmed down. German and American scientists are working to find a vaccine.
I must say despite of that, the daily life goes on as normal over here although it's very quiet at station and on the road.
Stay safe and stay positive everyone wherever you are!

Now I'll be the first to admit I haven't really read up on this much etc so I don't know all the facts, BUT.. If this virus (and from what I've read SARS) came from bats/wild animals. Why isn't the world giving China more shit about eating these animals? Literally nothing mentioned. Shouldn't the world turn round and say "Hang on China, you need to stop with that shit, look what you've done" As I said I may be wrong? So please don't bash me for this

I normally live on my own, but my parents have been asking for me to stay with them through this, and today I decided to do just that.
Who knows where all of this is going. It’s all terrifyingly bizarre.

Hardcore vegans are saying this is animal revenge/man made. Waiting to be told to shut up again.

I can't really bring myself to worry. I'm waaaayyyy out of the common age demographic for the corona virus. I'm also isolated most of the time anyway.
P.S. Knock it off with the hand sanitizer, soap and hot water will do the trick.

I'm not so much worried about the virus, but that I might lose my job, as I have been sent home in enforced leave because my company is in trouble now. They are doing what they can to save our jobs, but we will see about that. I know, that's nothing against people losing their lives, but I'm still slightly in shock since yesterday because it happened so quickly. Being more or less under house arrest isn't helpful either for mental health, even though I totally understand why it is necessary.

I had a really bad flu a few weeks back, it lasted 7-8 days. I was bed ridden for 5 days. Could barely breath, extreme muscle joint pains, completely blocked nose, and a high fever with cold sweats and chills. Horrible shit. I wonder did I already have it?

Sorry guys, but after seeing a post from someone claiming a Trump plot all I can say is FUCK YOU YOU IDIOTIC REPUBLICAN. My parents are 68 and 63 respectfully, you're not helping with this at all.

So, this bunch of bandits who call themselves our government are telling me I can’t play 6 aside footy, I shouldn’t travel to London to see my man, but it’s apparently ok to teach x150 kids a day (30 kids x 5 lessons) in a very confined classroom.
I’m fucking lost tbh.

The problem is that many NHS workers have children, the last thing we need is them having time off to look after their kids. You also have the issue of grandparents having to look after them, the ones we're trying to protect the most.
Its a tough situation to manage. The uk government have announced a £330 billion intervention to help businesses which is very good news.

£330bn loans “on attractive terms” aka adding interest. Wankers.

I'd say the majority of kids who are 9-10 or older are well capable of staying home without anyone watching them. It's only the youngest that need someone looking after them. At least that's how I remember it from my childhood if I had to stay home for being sick.
Also another thing that sucks for the businesses is the fact that the government is encouraging people stay inside but not properly shut down places like pubs so they're making losses without any insurance cover because they aren't officially closed.

Anyone else still swinging between ‘this is an overreaction, this can’t be happening’, to sheer ‘FUCK! PANIC!” on an hourly basis?
My tiny little mind can’t grasp the enormity of this just yet.
