It is in Dutch, but the article describe the situation in Bergamo, Italy.

https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2020/03/10/de ... n-a3993311

*The virus is no normal flu.
*The patients are in general older people with pneumonia in both lungs and have no change, they will die.
*The good organised Italian healthy organisation can hardly handle the situation anymore.
*Next month the epidemic will at it's top, properly the Italian heath system will crash.
*Also in other European country's is the situation extreem alarming, and in America where epidemic just has started too.

Just like in the rest of the world.

changing title....if you're going to talk about COVID, please put it in the title.

(DAMN the bastards who write PHPBB. It's existed for 20-odd years and they STILL have no function to change a topic title. You have to split everything to a new topic title, and ignore the idiotic "topic does not exist" error messages.)
Well you can edit the thread title by editing the first post and then editing all the threads of the replies to old topic title as well. :lol:

We are now in a partial lock down in Holland, so I suggest to change the title in Dark clouds over Europe and the rest of the world.
The situation is still not as bad as in Italy, but experts fear the worst.

WHAT?????

Line up's for the coffee shops!!!

Hashish panic!!!

A coffeeshop in Holland sells hashish and our government has just a massive lock down. All of sudden. Also for the coffewhops.
And people hamsteren now. Hoarding.
And this measure came complete unexpected, with many other.
Panic!

The problem is, and that is why strong messages are needed, people ignore advices.
Tomorrow also all schools are closed, gym's, restaurants, and so on.
Because the virus tuned out to be a danger for everyone, also young people had to be hospitalised.

It's funny as hell. A big late winter storm is coming thru California this weekend. The ski resorts in the Sierra received 2-10 feet of new snow, after a very dry February. So thousands of ski nerds headed for the mountains.

Only all the roads have been closed for several hours. Miles of traffic is backed up in Colfax on I-80 and on highway 50. The few other roads are closed due to the snow. It's still dumping right now.

And even if the fools DO manage to reach the ski resorts.....they're all closed.

Plus the governor is ordering all nightclubs and bars to close--but NOT restaurants, the fool

The bay area sucks: someone is renting a trailer on a dirt road in the middle of nowhere. For $1600/month.

That was the same here. Where did the epidemic from? Ski nerds took it home from Italy.
And after that we had Carnaval.
And now again. Belgium had closed everything earlier than we.
What happend? The came to Holland in the weekend!

Restaurants are now closed from 18.00 here. People had 30 minutes to finish there plate and to leave.
You hear nothing outside anymore. No cars, no people in the street, nothing. People now get frighting.

"The UK government is now suggesting that it may request everyone over 70 to quarantine themselves for four months.

What are the chances of anyone ever agreeing to do that?"
