    I'm pretty sure you would get the same numbers elsewhere, tbqh, even in USA. 

    Absolutely wrong. Putin has done all he can to demonise gays and this is a direct result of his rule. He has been targeting half of

    Europe with disinformation about gays and the moral degradation of the west (he is aligned with ultra conservatives from the west too). And it pains me to admit his hybrid war against the west succeeds in Eastern Europe. EU should wake up and expose him for what he really is.

    Ever heard of "Human RIghts" gurl?

    They have the rights to die. :rosey: 

    If they wanna die, please don't stop them.

    Lesser the Dumpster supporters the better.

    I agree, but unfortunately those idiots could be asymptomatic! They could simply pass the virus to many other people :(.

    If you’ve found yourself feeling a little more, ahem, thirsty than usual since being on lockdown, you’re not the only one. Pretty much everyone is borderline dehydrated these days after not being able to hook up have any human contact in weeks.

    And then came the Spanish army to make the problem better. Or worse, depending on how you look at it.

    It all started a few weeks ago when photos of the army’s elite devision, La Legión, began recirculating on social media after it had been deployed to help manage the country’s coronavirus outbreak.

    As everyone was quarantined in their homes, they began re-sharing photos of the soldiers in their signature pastel green uniforms, tight-fitting pants, and distinctively low-cut shirts.

    “The Spanish Army creating a lockdown looks gayer than any gay pride event I’ve ever attended,” one person shared on Facebook, along with several images.

    I have an evangelist in the family

    She was brought up Catholic and deeply resented it, then declared herself atheist for a couple of decades, then she turned 40 and she discovered evangelism. She's fucking nuts, the worst. Full of condescension and like only evangelical people have the ultimate truth in their pockets. She even had the guts to come to my house and spend the next seven days being waited on, upon leaving she told me bluntly, out of the blue "people like you belong in Hell". OK bitch

     

    :rotfl: :semifunny:   :electropop:

    What the hell? You should have slapped that vile bitch!

    We will get through. Health is what important. With health and strength we can face whatever the future brings.

    When I feel down I pull myself together with this mantra.  And I always feel better.

    ❤️❤️❤️❤️

    Honey, how have you and Jari been. You said you thought you might have it. How do you both feel?

    In my country we are bombarded with news how hospitals are full, and I live near the main biggest hospital in my town and there is no people in the tends outside of hospital, only army and medical stuff is walking around. I live on 9th floor and I can see everything. Something is really weird about all of this. My best friend is from Italy and she is stuck more then 4 weeks in the apartment, no one died in her circle and no one died in her friends circle. Anyway poor girl broke up with her girlfriend , both of them were fighting all day, now they are not speaking to each other but her girlfriend is stuck in her place 

    Unfortunately I do not think its a conspiracy. People ARE DYING hon. And the les girls should thank the quarantine: they would probably hit the same end without it, but in the distant future.

    Yes, it's frustrating.

    Speaking of this, the Commission just uploaded this fact-sheet on their main website and social media channels, that's at least something...although by far not enough to counter the massive disinformation floating around.

    Well, I really hope that for the next crisis (hope there isn't but anyways) EU Commission does a better PR. Because sofar China and Russia are miles better at the pr than EU. I know its not time for PR, but I m sure that China and Russia are using this time for exactly that. And its not even PR, the facts must be out.

    The question of shared European debt is not an issue to be treated lightly -  I don't agree with the German or Dutch position, but their concerns aren't pointless. This is something the governments have to sell and explain to their people, and the German population - one of the most supportive for European integration, don't forget - is very divided on this issue. 

    Having said that, let's not be one-sided when it comes to the EU's actions. Yes, the leaders of the member states are in disarray, but the European institutions themselves are clearly trying to help as much as they can with their limited competences.

     

     

    IMO, this epidemic shows all the more again that more federalization and strengthening of European institutions is what's necessary in dealing with international crises. The will and commitment to a strong aid program is clearly there in the EU institutions, but sadly, this is overshadowed in the news again by the endless quarrels between the member states. 

    I hope this is a lesson the member states will learn - unfortunately, my fear too is that the opposite thing could happen, i.e. states will channel their frustration against the EU and call for its dismantling. We're already seeing effects in Italy, where Russia is securing a propaganda coup with its helping 'efforts'  (which are mostly a farce only), while the EU is made to look as an ignorant by-stander.

    There is practically NO INFO in Bulgaria that it was the EU who helped China in January with medical supplies so its only natural that China gave back a month later to Italy. IN our news its always China and Russia (!!!!) that have helped Italy, while EU has done zero. All lies. EU has deblocked enormous amount of money to help fight this crisis and France and Germany have alone already donated more medical supplies to Italy and Spain than China and Russia. But hey, I guess no-one cares about the facts these days...

    Wow Germany and Netherlands.... showing their true colors... Even the president of Portugal said it's disgusting what they are saying and doing. The European Union is a farce and now it's showing with no sugar-coating. I doubt the EU will survive after this. Spain and Italy must and will remember what they did. 

     

     

     

    REPULSIVE

    What has happened? Cant find any info on google. Its time for federalisation.

    It would be a triumph if citizens realise that having a strong public service instead of greedy private sector saves lives. That having unemployment money and sick leave saves lives. And that anyone who considers that to be dangerous socialism in fact thinks that your life is not important and you'd better be dead if that puts a danger in economy.

    So true.

    I just moved to the US and it’s a mess. My private healthcare doesn’t cover me until April 1, and I seriously don’t know what to do. 

    Omg, that’s unfortunate. However I m sure you ll have the normal flu and would be okey. I m sure in your case M would be right: if it’s bitter at the start, then it’s sweeter in the end. I m sure your move would turn out for the better in the end. Hope you are feeling better now. Karbatal is right: just monitor your temperature and drink lots of fluids.

    So, I'm basically sure I got it, and I'm really fucking annoyed with how there're 3081408103903084098 articles about stupid shit like "coronavirus can last up to 4 - 48 hours on surfaces" but I can't find anything on what to actually do. 

    Since I feel kind of bad, basically like the flu, but not terrible, I THINK I should just stay home? And only go out into the world to find medical help if I can't breathe?

    Anyway, if I die I want to be displayed like this, k? thanks 

     

    Isn't there some kind of protocol in Mexico? Is Mexico in a lockdown?

    Why is Mr Dump sending all these troops, tankers and drones to Europe? But he cannot be bothered with dealing with US citizens health?

    Unbelievable

     

    https://ilmanifesto.it/30mila-soldati-dagli-usa-in-europa-senza-mascherina/

     

    30,000 US soldiers on European soil not even wearing masks. Many of these soldiers come directly from the National Guard selected from 15 US states

    That is really strange. Why would US send its army in Europe at this exact time???

    Thanks!!! You both too. Don't leave your houses unless absolutely necessary and tell your parents the same

    We only go to the shop. My parents do the same. It is spreading though. They introduced harder measures: shop hours for the people over 60, no walks in the parks, going out only on serious grounds. Hope Jari gets better really soon!!! ❤️

    My hubby has fever and as he's been working, we're put on absolute quarantine. We can't leave home not even to buy bread. Aw friend of mine will have to help us. We didn't have a test because, I guess, there's not enough tests. Which shows that numbers are not real as many cases are left untested, which also means that the death rate is inaccurate, as they're not real numbers to compare to. 

    Italy and Spain are only testing people being admitted to hospitals, that's why our death rate is so high.. Don't be fooled by the official numbers, stay at home and protect the elderly.

    We're ok. My husband only has mild fever and I'm ok. Maybe we simply have a flu case. We'll never know if  there aren't complications. 

    Hopefully you never know. Hope its flu and passes. Hope you are OK and healthy soon. Kisses.

    @elijah I totally feel you with your posts re/Europe, for me too European unity and the future of EU is something that lies close to my heart, and it's sad to see how many issues we've been tormented with since the past 10 years-ish. The growing populism, the economic crisis (which will most likely flare up again now), the ever-lasting refugee issue, now this thing...and then of course on the outside you have persons like Putin and Trump who eagerly await any sign of instability in Europe so they can weaken and undermine the system.

    Having said that, I'm really missing a response to the virus right now on an united European level, with a coherent policy and joint cooperation  - the past weeks have been quite chaotic with every country doing its own thing, like banning the export of masks and medical equipment to other member states. This is not doing the reputation of the EU any favors, especially in Italy...Similar with the sudden border closures of many countries (without notifiying the others), which is causing transport issues and damaging the free flow of goods (for example here the trucks carrying goods between Poland and Germany have been stuck for days because of massive traffic jams)

    I understand though this is a first-time situation for Europe, as for most of the world, so it's easier said than done. Hopefully before there's another epidemic on this scale again (which will probably happen some point in the future) we'll have a EU-wide task force who will be able to give a quicker and more united response.

     

    True. It has been chaotic time and yes the response was weak from both the states and the EU and when they did smth, it was too late. But one has to have in mind that EU has no competence in health matters, its within the competences of the member states. Maybe the states should really grant the EU vast competences for a feature (God forbid) pandemic? Just a thought. Even Italy acted FIRST closing itself for Chinese people but it was not enough and still what is happening is devastating. But you are right: no-one was really prepared on any level. All the European states should have watched the Chinese response closely. But its easy to say now what should have been done, when we know what a storm that is. I think Europe as a whole did not take this as seriously because the last epidemic that started in China, stayed in China.
