It's my new favourite comedy nation.Quote:
Indonesia has not yet announced whether it will close its borders to prevent wider spreading.
But the government faced criticism after instead pledging to set aside 72 billion rupiah ($5 billion) to pay for social media influencers to attract tourists to Indonesia.

One of my sisters carers has a son who goes there.
It's after me.
It’s coming for us all, you’ll just get to experience it first Mahow and you probably won’t even notice you have it.
Unless warmer weather kills it, there’s no way it’s contained here now.
We've had some government mong telling us that it has a low risk of spreading here. Even if that were remotely true, why tell people and stop them taking precautions?

Dr Ted is saying it can be contained, so we're on easy street I reckon. Bring back Margaret Chan.
He's also dropped the tried and tested shitstorm words 'unique' and 'unprecedented', all we need is 'black swan event' and my bingo card will be a winner.
Picked up a virus over the weekend.
No cough or sore throat though, so no 14 day self isolation.
#prayforfoe
I'll have it, two weeks in isolation sounds perfect.
So, John Oliver has made our Vietnam anti-Corona song famous...

It sounds a lot better than it would be in reality.Quote:

Yeah, this tightness in my chest can do one. No fever, breathing difficulties or cough, just a noticeable 'something' in there. Doesn't help the office cough now surrounds me.
Got back from Budapest to find out he works with my Maw’s partner. Mon :drool:Quote:

Get the shotgun first, that way, if there's a crowd for the beans and tortillas . . .
I'm getting all of them at the same time in Walmart.
"Do you want me to bag that for you?"
Be a real American and shotgun blast the virus straight out the air.Quote:

Another patient story.
I'm all stocked up now. Should be able to got for, erm, like a week.
I'm supposed to be travelling a bit relatively soon to a few different US locations (washinton state amongst others) and I'm a little miffed about this whole thing.
I don't really give much of a fuck if you get the virus, as I feel we're all bound to get it sooner or later anyway and may as well get it over with. But I well don't wanna get stuck in some fucking quarantine somewhere against my will for having the sniffles so now I'm not sure how good an idea it is.
Can one catch it twice?
Yep.
Rules out the Chicken Pox approach to this then.
i've accepted my fate and am ready to die
I'm going to Portugal at the end of the month (golf resort) and a bit of 14 day quarantine there running into my jury service would be a fucking result.
I'm in Turkey from the 16th. Apparently they are still coronavirus free. Hard to believe as they neighbour Iran. :cab:
I saw some video where some dudes were literally licking some shrine in Iran because "it had the virus"
Made no sense to me on many levels but anyways

Japan's Olympic minister says the Tokyo 2020 Games could be postponed from the summer until later in the year amid fears over the coronavirus outbreak.
In a response to a question in Japan's parliament, Seiko Hashimoto said Tokyo's contract with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) "calls for the Games to be held within 2020".
She added that "could be interpreted as allowing a postponement".
The Games are due to be held from 24 July to 9 August.
"We are doing all we can to ensure that the Games go ahead as planned," Hashimoto added.
Under the hosting agreement the right to cancel the Games remains with the IOC.
:(
Anything that fucks over the IOC can't be all bad.
And gets that shite off the telly.
Agreed, rather watch the midday soaps.
You're all fucking nonces.
"Hi, I'm Steve Cram and welcome to Flog It!"
It would be nice if the press reported active cases rather than the cumulative number.
Panic sells.Quote:

Because nothing is to be enjoyed.
I enjoy this website.
I like the Olympics apart from the bit where it turns into jingoistic medal-counting. The sports are mostly fun.
I love the Olympics. The only time when the shit sports matter.
Remember after the London ones, when certain members of our community where going to stop watching football and follow other sports instead? :D
That's literally the best part what the h*ck?Quote:

The weightlifting is the best event really.

I was in tears with the guy.
It might happen this year if all they don't ship their athletes to Switzerland immediately.
Yev and Mahow we’re loving itQuote:

I sort of miss how much I consumed as a kid. Recording C5's late night offerings and being fascinated by it. There's no mysteries to it any more.
Our second diagnosis has been confirmed this evening. Another one in from Italy.
I am watching a hell of a lot less football though.Quote:
