      Out here in LA, probably the worst place one could be in the US in terms of exposure risk, I can't even tell anything is amiss (it isn't) unless I go to a Costco.

      There seems to be no way to get hand sanitizer.

      The confluence of media/new media, a lack of basic critical thinking skills and education, and social media fan the flames of overreaction. More crucially, it is fueling broader political decay globally, but I will leave that there.

      Think it, be it.

        29 in Austria… business as usuall, still toilet paper available... but had to cancel my trip to Japan. My health insurance informed that they would not cover any costs if I travel to Japan and get an infection with SARS-CoV-2 there. Deeply disappointed.

            had to cancel my trip to Japan.

            I’m truly sorry to hear that, gents. I just thinking today that it was a week away and how I was looking forward to the pictures.

              Oh, that does suck.

              My wife is trying to scheme a way for us to go to Japan this year, since airfare had dropped to near comical levels.  Unfortunately, I don't have enough vacation time to make it viable, though I'm gaming out ways to make it work.

              As you can tell, we're terrified of Covid-19 in this house.

                i've actually had a look too! cheap hotels and cheap airfares. how good is it! the only worry i'd have is that tourist attractions and places you wanna go to might not be open..

                  Russia's channel one is stating that the US are behind the development of this as biochemical warfare. Seriously, Russia's top news channel.

                    We were all off to see Michael Kiwanuka at the O2 Academy Brixton.

                    The show has been friggin' postponed....

                          Yep, that's one of the concerns. We'd hate to go and then find everything locked up like Wally world.

                              That's really odd that your insurance can tell you that if you travel abroad they won't cover your medical costs.
                              Is it the same if you drink and get liver disease they won't cover you?
                              If you don't run will they not cover you if you get heart disease???

                                Extremely odd. Was that in some kind of contract? It doesn't seem fair when you can only enroll once a year for a health plan to move the goal posts.

                                Think it, be it.

                                  Odd but I bet when he does get sick it is 100% covered for zero out of pocket. As opposed to here where premiums and copays are bankrupting people.

                                  Maybe so. Maybe not

                                      It‘s a private health insurance… they can exclude some benefits. It‘s not about any medical costs, they just said, they won‘t cover the costs if I would be put in quarantine. An other problem is, I am self-employed two weeks quarantine would have a huge impact with a full diary. But however, ANA has canceled my flight anyway.

                                        Excluding benefits is one thing… Changing the benefits that are excluded between contracts is another. Worrisome to think about.

                                        Think it, be it.

                                          @Chap those scuffs are the bane of my existence. I had a brand new Evo and my wife bashed the passenger tires into a drive through curb 3 weeks after buying it. Almost caused me to cry. Proud to say I’ve had my GTI 2 years and no wheel scuffs yet [emoji1696].

                                          What do you drive?
