People in Spain who had to stay home as non essential workers get 75% of the salary for as long as it takes.

That US money is a pile of shit. They can't give a single payment and pretend all is solved. This situation will last months.

If you have lost your job either permanently or temporarily, then yes, you get government support.

 

Thanks for letting me know! That is wonderful what Spain is doing. I am happy we got the $1,200 but more support is needed.

Danish police have now issued a ban on staying at certain popular meeting points where people have repeatedly broken the ban on public gatherings of 10+ people.

Walking and biking in those areas is still permitted, while sitting/picnicking/partying etc. is banned and results in a fine of DKK 2500 (~ $ 365).

That lockdown you have is so comfortable :lol: I wish our rule had been to avoid gatherings of 10 people while being able to walk and bike. 

I watch images of other countries and I'm like WTF?

I got one of these scam e-mails this weekend:

https://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2020/04/10/sextortion-emails-and-porn-scams-are-back-dont-let-them-scare-you/

They'll claim to have malware infected on your computer and will send out videos of you watching porn among other graphic things to all your contacts.  It's an obvious scam but what was a little scary is they did use an old password of mine I used to use.  At some point some site most have been compromised I used it on.

 

But yeah if anybody here gets an sextortion e-mail asking to pay $2000 to some britcoin account please ignore it.  There is a special place in hell for someone who would try to take advantage of somebody's non rational thinking in these times we live in.  This is what the scammers are hoping for 

 

OMG I got an email saying they knew my password ( to a now defunct email account but it was accurate ) and unless I transfer 2000 bitcoins to him he would release my

masturbation video which sadly I don't have any .

In Thailand we are going to ease the lockdown. We are down to single digit infected cases .The curfew and state of emergency will remain till end of May but they will allow certain businesses to reopen ( Malls , non air con restaurants etc ) with strict measures . We will see how that works.

Yeah it’s a little scary at first when they have a password that was legit at one time.  But then you step away and rationalize it and check the web

This part of the U.S was hit hard.   I think the peak is finally over but still gotta quarantine.  I have to wonder soon with the weather getting nicer and people dealing with cabin fever if they’ll ignore all the risks

 

be safe

Yes it shocked me at first but then I realised that I don't have that masturbation video he was threatened to send to all my co workers / friends and family .

Regarding the virus ..it's a shame really because we had a BEAUTIFUL summer here in Thailand ( ours is from around feb - end of April ) . Sky was so blue and clouds so white .

Glorious sunshine . Super hot .All these and I had to stay home and watch Netflix ! I guess it's better than being ill .

Stay safe .

These idiots need to get contracted with COVID-19.

Just look at Boris Johnson. He was "not convinced" with the seriousness of COVID-19 until he contracted it and went to hell and back.

Elon Musk rails against stay-at-home orders while tweeting debunked and controversial coronavirus claims

By Clare Duffy, CNN Business
Updated 6:37 PM EDT, Thu April 30, 2020

New York(CNN Business)On a recent earnings call — typically a dry review of financial results — Tesla CEO Elon Musk went off-script, calling stay-at-home orders imposed as a result of the global coronavirus pandemic "fascist."

"Give people back their goddamn freedom," Musk said, adding that the coronavirus shutdowns are taking a toll on his company's manufacturing and ability to source supplies. As Wall Street analysts and investors listened, Musk railed against the restrictions, meant to slow the virus' spread, likening them to "forcibly imprisoning people in their homes."

The billionaire entrepreneur, heralded for years as a pioneer in space travel and transportation, has recently veered into disseminating coronavirus misinformation.

What disgusts me and infuriates me even more about this whole Corona ordeal is that while for many people it will result in job losses, people like Musk and Bezos will be raking it in now more than ever. Yet they still feel entitled to spew out shit like that

@XXLEven before a pandemic without treatment for now, the side of the social class gap where you find yourself completely changes the perception and the consequences of the event. No, the COVID-19 is anything but an equalizer. Yes, if you are rich, it does not immunize you from having the disease BUT you can have easy access and the best care, you do not live in overcrowded areas, your general physical condition is much better than a poor , because you eat better, exercise ... Suffice to note that more than 95% of COVID's deaths in North America are in the poorest and most vulnerable social classes of our societies. The rich do not stop being rich during this social seclusion, they are only a little less rich while putting pressures (that work) on all governments to reopen their economy.  This is why the rich and celebrities should shut their mouths during this pandemic and stop trying to attract our pity with their first world problems live from their mansion surrounded by poor servants.

Exactly what I meant with my anti Musk post. It's scary when you think about those differences. Probably scarier than the disease itself. We live in a fucked up world

Just ask Boris Johnson

 

Speaking of which, the moron even thanked his Portuguese NHS nurse for saving his life. So much for coherence. A total embarrassment
