Oh and Harvey Wienstien tested positive, so not all bad news.
That makes you happy? You don't wish anybody an illness or worse, even not a rat as Weinstien, then you are no better than him. Sorry, but in my book it is simply not done.
Stay healthy everybody.

Bad terrible sentence. You do not realise what this plague is. No you surely dont.

I agree but given the genesis (origin) of this thread, it will inevitably attract flippant remarks from superficial people. As I write I have a dear friend suffering with a high fever, muscular pains, and enormous fatigue, who says she is very frightened.
No doubt someone, seeing it's me making this post, will make a frivolous comment which I'm sure will be very amusing.

... to hear all this from both of you.
Just got an e-mail from the administrator saying the virus has been detected in someone in this block. The neighbour is in hospital and is fine. I don't know who it is. Only who it isn't.
Anyway, they've already splashed a load of extra disinfectant around the common passageways, but we have to ramp up on our own internal disinfection, handwashing, precautions etc. Buggeration.

We cannot all afford to fall into weeping and wailing over every piece of bad news in this crisis. If I'm going to survive this I'm gonna have to put my "man pants" on, because if the virus doesn't get me, the food shortages just might. Seeing humour in the blackness is a well known defense mechanism, and I need all the help I can get.

So you have woman pants on at the minute, then?
Or you simply aren't wearing pants?

If they have already sprayed disinfectant in the common areas of your block, they acted fast and wisely.
Please take care there!

It's getting closer and eerier all the time! I had to send a certified letter this morning (no, it wasn't a Get Well Soon card for old Harvey Babebanger), and went to Bilbao's Central Post Office, only 5 minutes from here. The queue, with 1.5 metres between each person, stretched right around the corner for about 20 metres.
Gotta go. 4K to take care of, plus the 8 pm balcony applause draws near ...

| Direct financial support for solo freelancers in Germany | Mar 23, 2020 |
The German government has just published an outline description of the financial support it's proposing for solo freelancers and other self-employed, and micro-businesses, in Germany. The one-page file they've sent to the Federal Council (the upper house) for approval is available here (in German):
http://dipbt.bundestag.de/doc/btd/19/181/1918105.pdf

http://dipbt.bundestag.de/doc/btd/19/181/1918105.pdf
Basically, solo freelances will be entitled to up to €9000 over three months, paid as a taxable cash grant and designed to stave off bankruptcy.
Also, other Länder (the federal states) have published their own plans for financial assistance for solo freelances and other self-employed, consisting of a mix of cash grants (same scope as at federal level) and low-/zero interest loans.
Lucky them... ▲ Collapse

| New stricter measures for the UK | Mar 23, 2020 |
We had an announcement from the PM this evening saying that people were allowed out only for essential shopping trips, one outing per day for exercise, etc. I was shocked to see video footage of crowded London Underground carriages this morning.
Not sure if we can walk the dogs more than once a day.
Have ordered some scissors to cut our hair, as the hairdresser will no doubt be closed.
