Safe here in Japan
 

Over at CFAY Japan.

We're safe and out of school. Kiddo's are doing the virtual school thing, Staff are freaking out because they have to actually use lesson plans, and ADMIN can join their virtual classroom at any time.

Everyone has been instructed to wear face coverings on base and only trips to store, Post Office and NEX. We live off post so there's really not much change here. People are keeping to themselves for the most part.

Send Beer!!!

welcome aboard!
 

Hi! I'm from Poland

There is no need for blocking / curfew in my city of Bielsk Podlaski.
Residents are aware of the situation and are following the government's recommendations.

The streets are empty, and people who can, like me, get married at work and sit at home.
People in quarantine cannot leave the house anywhere - the financial penalty is 2 months of work so they are afraid and good

Quarantine
 

Hello, i am from Russia, Siberia. The authorities and Putin introduced a regime of self-isolation, but did not give help. No money, 2 dollars left. Businesses are closing down, staff are being fired. They force me to stay at home until May 1, without money. Help, who than can please !!! Rather, this Putin would have already been removed, the whole people hate him, and even abroad. ---------------------------------------

It's a shame, but there is nothing to eat until the summer, and potatoes will grow only in August.
Even 5-10 dollars would be a good help. We in Siberia have an average salary of 300-400 dollars ....per month... Superpower ...

I tend to not notice things until it's too late. This is one of those cases. I may have read something about the virus, but I didn't pay attention. Then I made my weekly run to the supermarket and was shocked to see the toilet paper shelves completely empty. I've stumbled across some from time to time, so I've never completely run out.

In some ways the reaction to this thing has been a blessing for me. I never go out anyway, and I don't socialize, so nothing much has changed. What has changed is the number of my neighbors wanting to talk to me about nonsense I'd rather avoid. This goes double for our apartment manager. He either stays at home or comes to his little office and locks himself in. The one thing he has stopped doing is getting in my face wanting to complain about one thing or another. Apparently a lot of my fellow residents feel the same way. I'm now doing what I always do but this time nobody bugs me about it.

Our VA hospital has called everybody cancelling a huge number of appointments. You don't get into that hospital unless it's a real emergency. Like a lot of others my travelling is limited to the grocery store.

As of today the case number for Covid-19 here in the desert and mountains of Utah has reached 1,675 with 13 deaths.

TO: SUBSIM COMMUNITY

FROM: THECABAL

SUBJ: SITREP POLAND

1. SITUATION: .... no just kidding ;)

A German-Polish-German-but-more-Polish dude from the vicinity of Wroclaw reporting in. Well, the outskirts are extremly calm here... with some obvious idiots still ignoring the lockdown. Kids.. well they are handling it somehow (or rather we) but sometimes they go nuts out of boredom.

We are playing together like the whole day, can be hard sometimes. My little company still holds itself (thank god) and yeah... trying to survive the day till the kids go to sleep so I can relax a bit with my wife doing just nothing... we both lack even the power for some loving acts at the end of the day.

While Poland has reacted very fast reg. COVID-19, lockdowns etc. I still think they overreacted a bit too much with all the restrictions to (at some degree) make some ads for the next political voting-session as well. But... I would rather do the same instead of explaining myself if chaos hit Poland. Well, I hope it's done in 1-2 weeks.

Despite this, feeling a bit sorry for my daughter and her upcoming birthday which she won't experience in the kindergarden like others have.

What about you guys and our subsim.com father? All sounding a bit similar?

:Kaleun_Cheers:

We have closed state institutions in Russia, but there is no support for business and people, so people are forced to go to work, who has it left. There are no tests, no masks, recently Putin sent a plane with medical equipment to the United States, and his doctors and people are sitting without protection. Russians now have a choice - to die from the virus or die of hunger in quarantine, so no one sees at home

All doing well here, locked down with all hatches fast, very sunny Widnes just East of Liverpool, good to hear no S.O.S. keep taking the tablets as Moses said.

Here in southern part in Finland everything is good. They've quarantined the greater Capital area from other parts of Finland, no entry or exit without valid cause (like trip to work and back). Situation is turning towards better around here, I think.

Hi, from the East Coast of South Africa. Today is day-12 of a strict 21-day lock down. No international air travel. No local or regional air travel. All inter-provincial road travel banned. Road blocks on all national highways to enforce the ban. So nobody can move about and we are all requested to stay indoors. All schools and universities closed as well.

Now for the good news out of a population of 55 million only (as of today) 1686 CV cases and 12 deaths in the country.

Now more bad news. All alcohol outlets closed from day 1, so no alcohol drinks available, unless you managed to stock up. Even worse, no cigarette or tobacco to be sold, so all those outlets also closed. Today I read that they have also closed all mobile phone outlets/shops. No walking about or jogging or even walking your dog allowed.

Other than that as long as you practice "social distancing" you may go to the pharmacy/drug store for chronic medicine. Supermarkets to only allow the sale of essential goods. You may go to these places, but should you be stopped in a roadblock, better have all your ducks in a row. And, if travelling in a 4-seater vehicle, only the driver in front and single passenger in rear of vehicle permitted. Petrol stations have remained open, but customers are few.

Thank goodness they have not banned the internet, so we can at least Skype the grandchildren and relieve stress by Silently Hunting. When I retired I never thought that life after working could be so hectic. :yeah::yeah:

Quarantine in ITALY
 

Hello to everybody, here in ITALY we have been experiencing a dramatic rise up of contagion since end of february, and our government decided that everybody should stay at home, and in addition all industrial and touristic activities should stop with the exception of what's needed for food and health needs.
Our cities and villages are desert (with very few exception), all business activities are stopped, people work from home (if they can, through smart-working), schools are closed , on line lessons are becoming standard .
The good thing is that the contagion curve seems to be decreasing, and we hope after easter some industrial activities will be re-started.
Excellent time for home gamers of course, so we are spending lots of time in already known games as well as in new ones!.
Most of us need to plan what to do for the entire day, so in addition to working on line and maybe joining communities on-line, gaming is an excellent way to keep time passing!
Let's hope this very bad time will come to an end soon, and get my best regards from Italy!

The ignorant few are putting us all at risk
 

Very quiet here in Lancashire, in general, people are obeying the rules while TV shows selfish people in the South of the country (mostly young) interpreting the rules to their own advantage, unfortunately, I think the younger end don't truly realise the seriousness of the gift that the Pariah Republic of China has given to the world, and because of the few who are putting us all at further risk the government should really enforce stricter measures to keep them at home

Roll call
 

I'm near Richmond, Va. All is well in our household - we stay in the house, in the yard. I am disabled and use a walker so getting out is a hassle for me in any case, so my wife runs to the store as needed. The local Walmart is starting extra hours for seniors so we can get in with less people nearby. A lot is being done to keep us safe. The Hydroxlquinine (Sp?) looks like it is promising - a Dr looked at records of all patients taking it for the last 20 years and so far none have gotten the virus - so it looks promising. The doc also got the records of Blue Cross so the database is pretty big. We'll see if the govt picks up on this...

Everyone stay safe out there! Prepare to dive! aaa uooooga!

:Kaleun_Applaud:

not in lock down in Manitoba Canada, we do have toilet paper and food plenty of hand sanitizer but we now have to follow arrows on the floor at stores and maintain a one fathom seperation.

Quarantine at Elche
 

Greetings from Elche (Alicante), Spain.

We are in confinement. Have enough TP for Beavis bunghole and no FFP2 masks but a homemade ones. Not enough gloves either.

Since I work in a salt mine at Santa Pola, I'm fine. My job is considered "essential" and even when the Goverment temporally banned some (presential) jobs, mine is intact.

Streets are like "28 weeks later" movie and I'm about to play some Cold Waters, hehe.
