QOTW: Has the coronavirus affected your daily life?

[deepblue08]

I work in Southeast Asia. The number of infected here is not high, but they started taking temperature of everyone as soon as they walk into the office and squirting hand sanitizer upon entry as well.

[Wrinkly]

I am the 24/7 carer for my parents. My father has Emphysema (COPD) amongst other things and uses an oxygen concentrator, my mother has severe Dementia. So good hygiene practices has always been a concern, but now I have to consider who I allow to visit.

I'm Scottish and very frustrated at the UK government who denied access to a young girl wanting to return home to the UK after joining ISIS, which resulted in her baby dying within a refugee camp. Their excuse being said young lady would be a threat to society yet they bring infectious people home with the Coronavirus and without any real form of infrastructure for care. This is what happens when the ignorant racist idiots (little Englanders) elect a junkie PM.

Holiday to China and Korea was cancelled, so I was a bit gutted about that. Was looking forward to those weeks.

[RaptorDMG]

Nothing apart from washing my hands a bit more than usual.

Theres a couple of cases in my city but not overly worried

[Euphonium]

Nothing but social media hysteria in my park of England. The supermarkets still had toilet paper and empty shelves were conspicuous by their absence.
My employer had put bottles of hand sanitizer at the entrance to the open plan offices and asked anyone with a conference booked to reconsider the need to attend but that's about it.

are you actually SERIOUS? She would be a massive drain, what with keeping track of her, etc. and that would be permanent, once a terrorist always a terrorist. She should be left to rot in whatever hellhole she found herself in.
if so, seek psychiatric help.

Also, I'm Scottish and voted for Brexit, aged, 22

No direct effect, would be tempted to take some cheap flights that are surprisingly still at the lowest standard fare a week out, with the problem I'd typically pay for them them by selling some of my ISA funds which have plummeted in the last 2 weeks, hence not booking the flights due to covid-19. Darn fear-mongers!

I don't think people returning with covid-19 went away with the express intent of acquiring covid-19. Slightly different to somebody who goes away with the express intent of siding with a terrorist organisation.

Sorry to hear about your situation, but linking not supporting ISIS members with racism is one of the worst arguments you could've made. I detest this common nonsensical and dangerous ideology. Her expression made it crystal clear that she had no remorse.

I'm mildly amused by the fact they bring people back and spread them out across the country rather than putting them in a central isolation area..

Supermarket shelves are near empty & we're pretty much on lockdown. Thankfully we live out in in the sticks which should help.

[TriCyclops]

Not one bit. The hysteria is real.

@nacasatu Brexit is for morons and nationalists.

[Korrorra]

Not really affected. Less water and TP at the stores. People seem to be panic buying like it's a zombie apocalypse. Less people in the stores and on the roads on a Friday. Seem to not get as close to people than usual as well.

[Rubarb]

I've been licking door handles ... just in case I have it

[six_tymes]

nope, I am a hermit anyway. lol

[j.o.s.h.1408]

I am due to go vietnam and it was looking good there as they only had 17 cases who actually all recovered(no new cases for 22 days...) and then from Thursday/Fri , 10 new cases and guess where they came from?

London....



My vietnam trip is hanging by a thread as i booked a plane and f1 tickets to see the first ever race done there in hanoi(those new 10 cases they flew to hanoi btw...)

Im actually hopeing they cancel the race asap before i decide to go on the 21st march as it forces the decison upon me and my 2 friends i aim to go together with.

Also, i quit my comfy remote job a week ago in anticipation for this vietnam trip and looking to work next in Berlin or amsterdam.

Germany has over 600 cases.. Netherlands have similar numbers to the uk...

So yea i am jobless, most liklely not going no vacation and stuck here...
