The earliest speculated vaccine is 2021,.. so that's a year away.
Corona may just become another flu we get every year, that's a possibility. The common cold kills people every year and so does the 'normal' flu. Now don't get me wrong I'm not trying to down play things at the moment.

Sanitizers, alcohol, disinfectant wipes are also flying off the shelves / sold out where I live. :roll:
Similar to how KoW described, stores are putting up signs to say they don't have these products in stock.


heh,. going to have to bust out the grain alcohol and splash some on me. Officer I swear it's to prevent covid-19 I've not been drinking! :lol:

It's turning out to be quite the event! I showed my wife the video on the previous page, and now she's subscribed :lol: I take back what I said previously; still, in my defense (1) I've avoided all public events and large group gatherings and (2) I haven't told anyone not to be careful. I consider myself free from blame :D

I did hear that a vaccine was already in the early stages though, so I don't know whether 2021 is accurate.

Well, my city just closed all schools and kindergardens from monday. My offices are allready allmost empty as most people are working from home. We'll probably all be told to work from home soon. Which suit me fine. Me and the wife can work together in the apartment :)

But yeah, everything is going on lockdown here.

Hi, I got the info from a "friend of a friend" that the shops are closing today or tomorrow here :roll:
So I did last shopping today. And I start the self quarantine. The tension in the shop was... intense.
Everyone was panic shopping, the mood was absolutely dreadful :/

Im so glad I will not have to be there at the evening or tomorrow, that will be just HELL.

Stay safe, and really, stay at home if possible. It will help the situation.

PS. so we are at the state of "distress", the rules are max 30 ppl, was 100ppl yesterday, restaurants are closed - that is - so far for 30 days. Plus all the things Ive said already, schools, restrictions...

As Ive said yesterday, I expect these measures to be even harder, they just try to not scare ppl so they implement it one after another, increasing days and intensity of measures etc. My country will be basically in the safe mode after just few more days. NOW ppl start to realize what is happening. KoW is always 3 steps ahead ;)

Ive got some cash money, food, Ive stocked father and his familly, full fuel, I dont have to leave my house for 2 or 3 months and the same applies to all (extended) family members. Plus Ive prepared my business for the country lockdown. Now just hope I dont already have it. But even if I have, Im glad I did everything I did.

I live in a town with population less than 7000 people in a middle of nowhere in Finland and yesterday it was announced that 2 people here has Corona Virus. Sigh, great.

Silver knife for the werewolves. *check*
Bright light for the banshees. *check*
Mask for the zombies. *check*
