Hundreds of residents of the budget hotel chain Travelodge, including homeless families housed there by local councils, have been turned out on to the street after it closed its premises.

The chain issued letters to all residents on Tuesday asking them to leave as soon as possible as they were “temporarily closing the hotels until further notice” in the light of the government’s extended coronavirus physical distancing guidelines issued on Monday.

This appeared to be in defiance of government guidance issued the same day which said that hotels looking after homeless families who had been placed in temporary accommodation at in hotels should not close.

Why arent they being forced? In Germany, police patrols the streets and not only controls pedestrians, but also checks shops, bars, cafes. Pick up and delivers food services are allowed. All others get fined 5.000 onward, up to 15.000. Italy throws quarantine breakers into jail for five years.

The President wants to open the country back up by Easter, but this man caught Covid-19 right before Disney World closed down, which doesn't sound like a good idea to open the amusement parks back up.

Man dies from virus less than 2 weeks after cough began at Disney World

Quote:
A California man who visited Disney World and later tested positive for coronavirus died Thursday after being hospitalized nearly a week on a ventilator, according to The Los Angeles Times, citing public health officials.

His illness developed from a simple cough to full-blown pneumonia in just a matter of days.

Those numbers are totally off anyway. China and Iran actively tune their numbers. The US laggs behind by several weeks, Germany by 2-3 days, Italy and Spain probably are close in time to real things, but still necessarily lack precision. But Iranian, Chinese and American numbers currently mean nothing. Means: they are much, much worse.



And then there is the rate of unknown and never-will-be-known-cases.

Here in France still more and more cases. But quite far from our Italian neighbors.
Already 3 doctors died infected by patient...
They announced the total lock out will last at least to April 20, depending on evolving situation.
Stay safe

A quarter of the world's population is now living under some form of lockdown.

I would like to add to the above public service announcement of useful tips for the potential treatment of COVID-19.

Chloroquine developed by pharmaceutical companies and prescribed by doctors: GOOD

Chloroquine you get at the pet store for fish: BAD

Don't be an idiot READ THE LABEL
