I just had my emergency money stolen off my store card here in Canada, It was a points card and someone took all my points which were emergency money for food. :( Have to wait 10 business days for them to get it back and get back to me on the investigation.

Are you kidding me? This is what I’m saying. This bug is Bringing out the worse In the morons of the planet.
I get a tax rebate weds, I’ll send you a few quid if it’s any help.
This virus is being made out to be more than what it’s worth and it’s the decent folk on the front line suffering and that’s not acceptable.

Same. My mate had his bar open to ‘select customers’ since Tuesday.
I’ll not be going, was out Monday full of bravado, not concerned for me mate but I don’t want to infect some older soul and put them in a bad way as I fancied a pint.

No, it's true. :( I want to cry......... Thank you so much for the offer I will keep it in mind if I get in dire straights, right now I am o.k. as I pulled savings but don't know if I have enough to wait for the whole 2 weeks to get this back.

It’s a disgrace people helping people are struggling. You guys deserve all the help you can get, have close family in the nhs In the uk and they are exhausted already and I’m no purveyor of fake news.
Offer is there from weds onwards. Won’t be a lot but I’ll make sure you have a bit.
Thanks for your service
 
Thank you, Ya Shadow I really miss the old days as I posted on here before in other threads. For any other Canadians check your pc optimum accounts as they even said they are having lots of weird issues going on.

Also thankfully I do have Amazon income the last few weeks and next week, Thank god I made sales in the last month, it's not much but again I am not in totally dire straights, I am so embarrassed I might have to beg for help though.:oops:

How much did you lose? I can give you a little for food but not sure how as i don't have PayPal or such like. Maybe we can find a way. Won't be much but every little helps.

Hi Borgie

Thank you so much as well, I had $90 worth of points. As I told playford I am o.k. at the moment but it's scary as that was back up and I am helping feed the whole family at the moment.

I am back to work Monday and see if there will be over time as again work in an "essential" service, Another good thing is it's pay week next week as well.

Hi I am slotmaster. Nice to meet you.:p Thank you as well, I will keep in mind, Thankfully it was emergency money but I am just a little freaked out now as who knows what is going to happen or how long all this is going to go on.
 
It's getting worse over here by the day - not so much the spread of the virus, although that is increasing daily - but the behaviour of these panic buying moron. No matter how often the PM/Supermarkets re-iterate that if everyone would just go back to buying normally, there would be no shortage, the hysteria continues unabated. And it has now spread to chemists and off-licences as well.

There is still no Loo roll anywhere - went to every supermarket within a 20k radius (10 of them) and came away empty handed. Even swallowed my pride and turned up during the allocated elderly hour (my brain says I am 30ish: unfortunately the mirror doesn't lie! :eek2:) and nothing. In fact, shopping at that time was worse than usual because the supply trucks simply hadn't arrived - no fresh fruit or veg, no pasta, rice, frozen veg, etc. etc.

It has been a disastrous few years for our farmers, due to the drought, and now, because of the stockpiling of wheat based products, such as cereals and pasta, we are facing a possible crisis in that there is nothing left in the fields to be harvested.

And these bleeding "influencers" with their "I prepared 300 meals in 1 hour" type rubbish is not helping the situation either. This is one of the reasons the sale of white goods such as chest freezers have gone through the roof due to everyone stockpiling frozen veg, fish desserts, etc. and then needing somewhere to store their 300 meals.

AND...even more worrying, I am becoming an accidental hoarder myself. Every day I go out, trying to find loo roll or even something for myself, and when I see a tin of tomatoes, or beans, or something, I am starting to buy it. I am using the rationale of "I am in the supermarket anyway, I may as well buy something". But underlying this is the fear that if I don't, then one day I will go to the supermarket and there will be absolutely nothing to buy. I really would be up Ship Creek if that happens.

AND AGAIN...every day I am out means even more exposure to the possibility of catching the virus. I have suffered from bronchial infections most of my life, so I really do need to be more careful than most.

Hate to be the bearer of more bad news just been watching a report from Italy on sky news this piece of shit is starting to kill people in their 30s/40s they didn’t mention weather the victims had underlying health issues.
Good luck folks and be safe

I'd seen a similar report that roughly 40% of deaths are those under 50

of course, numbers as expressed thusly can be scary; it doesnt of course factor in there still a vast, vast number of those under 50 have little to no symptoms; rather, only those that are fatalities are roughlty 40/60

O I get it mate I don’t believe the press are really helping matters last night our health minister said worse case Northern Ireland could have 9000 deaths.
Today I was standing in a shop looking at the newspaper stand 4 different papers one stating the figure of 9000 as reported the other 3 25.000 15.000 18.000 no wonder people are shitting them selfs.
 
The government wants a shut down and has agreed to pay 80% of people’s wages to help this happen yet tonight I’m in work with 250 others no social distancing canteen was carry on as normal even tho all our customers have closed their plants Canada says carry on as normal so we must obey..

This concerns me.. Morrison’s was empty, asda the same. Luckily my Tesco local had stella reserved as requested. 10 cans, sod the toilet rolls and pasta.
Beer and fags are much more essential.

I have a love/hate relationship with alcohol. Used to drink like a sponge back in the day and then didn't drink at all for years.

At the start of this year, I made a conscious decision to enjoy life more than I have for some time. For the past few years, I've worked way too much and hardly had any time or energy to have fun.

But if anything, this outbrake has shown that life is fragile and too short. In a personal level, this means that I don't shy away from drinking anymore. Although it might seem here that I do it excessively, I don't :)

I love beer and music. I'm gonna enjoy them to the fullest. I'll work the bare minimum to have a chance to do so.

Speaking of..
I just made myself a bowl of Müsli and topped it with a bunch of berries, drizzled some honey, the works.
No milk in the fridge.
I think im gonna cry.
 
Thank you to everyone. My mom is stable now it's up to her. I broke my laptop so I am using a horrid Android phone for now. The doctor who my mom is seeing is the same one o see. He told me due to the Coronavirus being bad I don't need to come and visit her . My son asked could she have contracted the virus and it made everything worse. Good question. I can't focus on that. I am just hoping she keeps fighting. Anyways I'm going to have to get another laptop some how. I am hoping soon. This phone is a nightmare to use. Stay safe everyone .
 
Just reading her twitter now, I think she means the lockdown rather than the actual virus. Interesting article, from Bloomberg, she has retweeted about Japan not going into lockdown and yet not having a huge outbreak. I wonder how japan has done this as tokyo is very densely populated, difficult to do social distancing there I would've thought:

" Infections well below G-7 members such as the U.S. and Germany "

"Critics argue Japan has been lax in testing, perhaps looking to keep the infection numbers low as it’s set to host the Olympics in Tokyo in July. "

"But as of March 18, Japan has only had a little more than 900 confirmed cases -- excluding the cruise ship. The U.S., France and Germany were all above 7,000 cases and Italy was nearing 36,000. Neighbor South Korea, which tested aggressively amid a surge of confirmed infections from late February, was at about 8,500 cases but its new infections are now tapering off. "

Japan may have some built-in advantages, such as a culture where handshakes and hugs are less common than in other G-7 countries. It also has rates of hand-washing above those in Europe.

Should Japan see a jump, it may be better suited than many peers to handle the surge. It has about 13 hospital beds per 1,000 people, the highest among Group of Seven nations and more than triple the rate for Italy, the U.S., U.K. and Canada, according to World Bank data.

This is what I like about Japan they seem to know how to do things, discipline and their code of honour probably help, and generally they have a cohesive, intelligent society with low crime.

Edit: sorry I thought I was in the NK thread there for a moment, laura's definitely worried about the US economy/trump/china.

wow I never knew that, I quite like Laura, she can interrupt people a bit too much and not let them get a word in. I think she fears biden, as he's more central in his outlook than a bernie or warren. Any damage/disaster to the economy from a shutdown gives joe a better chance...plus Trump's rallies are probably a bit difficult to hold atm.

edit: I didn't realise she was a single parent with her three adopted children

I know she means the measures that are being taken, and I know she's worried. We're all worried but sadly there is no certain end date yet... Her tweeting that might influence her following to defy the measures and make things worse tho.

Most optimistic reports state it'll take 8 weeks. Italy has already announced their measures are in effect until the beginning of May :(

Germany has done alot of testing and that's why they found so many cases but the mortality rate is very low so far.
