I've been puzzled by that too -- I would think a bit of exercise to help keep fit and healthy is important in the long run. Otherwise we're all going to end up with preexisting conditions that put at higher risk from just sitting on the sofa eating and drinking for two months or more.
 
This coronavirus has just gotten a lot closer to me yesterday afternoon.

Suspected case at a location nearby, they are all on a total lockdown. No movement in or out. Some of their technicians were at our location a few days ago when we had a power shutdown, but have been assessed as low risk of transfer.

An emergency helicopter was sent out with a medic on board to take a saliva mouth swab of the victim, while the helicopter waited with rotors still turning and burning. Medic went straight back with sample only.

They are waiting out 72 hrs for a result.

We are unaffected here as yet, and accordingly they have began to suspend operations and started down manning non essential personnel and sending them back to their home countries with immediate effect.

Looks like the job will be out of action for a minimum of 3 months. There are other factors affecting this, but the virus is the dominant one at the moment.

I’m due home for my field break tomorrow and I’m praying I can get away and back to the real world. I’m in a critical function and can’t leave unless the other guy turns up. With all the travel cancellations and restrictions he might not make it.

Fcuk sake, never wanted to go home and see my family so much ?

This shit is mental!

If coronavirus was a person I’d punch it straight in the face ?

I think you're missing the point. If one person says 'i'm not doing any harm' then logically everyone else will do exactly the same. And if in a city everyone gravitates to say the same parks then a crowd builds up in no time

exactly. especially if it's the only excuse to leave the house you'd be surprised how many people suddenly turn into runners or cyclists!
 
At my smalltown Train station empty such 10 people waiting instead of 1hundred
bus same, only 5 people instead of filled with 20-30 people

i was asking a netherland mate about his ibz trip beginning april 18th , he told me he received messages from plane company to postpone his trip ?
April in Ibz should be without tourists , May is closer to it ?
 
Air France will stop between 70% and 90% of its flights during the next few days for 2 months.
TUI stops all its operations.
 
From a medical point, there is absolutely no need to be looked up inside for 2 weeks.
If you take a little responsibility for yourselve and other people it is fine to go outside for a walk, just keep at least 3 meters distance from others. Only if this is not possible, for example in bigger cities,go away or stay at home.
One more good advantage to live on the countryside.

the issue with that is the society isn't responsible enough it seems
 
not a done deal yet, but government voices say the state of emergency and thus the lockdown might very likely be extended after the initial 15 days. to be honest once it was clear it would happen, I personally expected a month at least. as I said, nothing official yet though.
