      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..

                  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.

                          alternative: go down to your local pub for an open mic night.  😉

                            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???

                            I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

                              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?

                                            Can't argue with that, she's a smart lady. The amount of dings my cars get from city conditions I gave up on a nice ride, they all get messed..This one's had 3 scratches done when the car's parked in 1 year.. Only park in 'good' spots, not on corners or places where I can expect damage..still happens…
