Today just didn’t feel like a Sunday. Yesterday definitely didn’t feel like a Saturday. The days feel the same - another coronavirus dominated day. It’s like the period between Christmas and New Year, but not in a temporary, it’ll be back to normal by January 2nd way. Some bugger has finally granted Roy Wood his wish... 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From other places around the world, lockdowns seem to be taking between 14-20 days to have any effect on lowering numbers of deaths so this is a promising, if still tragic, sign. And also why it was so important for Scotland to get it's collective finger out a week or 2 ago. Unfortunately when the shit hits the fans big time, you're going to have to sit through almost 3 weeks of devastation before even the slightest glimmer of hope appears. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. They said they'd stay open in the face of adversity. The government recommending that pubs and restuarants close made them do a U turn and pay everybody off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got told some governmet official was going round the villages the other day saying no cases in Chaiyaphum, that wil be out the windae then. Are the resort areas doing any business Slippy? Seen that tourists are to have a letter from health professional showing clear of covid19 and insurance for treatment if you catch it... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mon_The_Fife Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 That’s New Zealand entering full lockdown from Wednesday. My work shut today for a month - I work as a nurse in a private clinic so I don’t think I will be short of job opportunities over the next few weeks if needed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny Danger Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 There’s been a surprising lack of these characters kicking around. Probably all in self isolation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in Bangkok last week with my son, returned on Saturday. Local Government was at my door that night telling me I had to be tested for Covid19 at the local health clinic, put a panic into my family. Went to the clinic on opening time 08:00 today (Monday), to stand outside and shout into the place as I couldn't see anyone, nurse walks out and asks why I was there. Told her I was sent by the local government office from my village (about 500 people). She said no such thing is in place and you have been sent here for no reason apart from scaremongering and ignorance. She took our temperatures and told to go home, gave us a big A4 sheet with all the intructions in Thai what to do & told me to give to all my family and anyone else that comes to your house. When I got home I called the police and informed them what has happened. As the only foreigner within about 25 miles (Singburi town), looks like the villagers were starting a lynch mob and steering up a little racist fear within the camp. I'm sure i can deal with it, but not my kids. As for business in the tourist spots, it close to nothing now and nobody is/can arrive. As for the photo in my last post, I was not having a dig at these people. If you think of everything shutting down, people have to eat and pay rent same as everyone else. They have no money and eating your own shite is going to start once that little money you have left is gone. Ask yourself the question, I have enough money left to get back home (countryside provinces) or stay here. I would be getting that bus too. Sad times lay ahead for everyone. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mo Chit is a circus 24/7, no surprize it's heaving. Had heard many people were heading back North, hopefully the severe heat will keep the virus at bay. I'm due back out in November so fingers crossed by then it will be finished with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 (edited) @CountyFan I know there are others here who also drink in the station, but you have the honour of being the only one I remember, they are punting all their ales for 4 pound a litre, if you take any sort of sealable container down they will fill that shit up.

Romeo Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 If you drop off in FV give me a shout and will get you a coffee. I'm having a few beers tonight to distract myself from tomorrow. Apparently we're good to go with the assessment hub. Can't say I'm not a tad apprehensive especially when you see the story about a 36 year old nurse on a ventilator with no pre existing health issues. I'm a 40 something stallion with a slight alcohol issue and dodgy calves so should be ok. Hopefully the PPE is better than the pish they supplied for the practice last week. Stay safe everyone and adhere to the advice. I assume that p&b members can drop into the hub at any time and get tested.I suggest we use a password " and bring yer maw"Thanks for agreeing to that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
