I'd definitely prefer to be in China right now
Me too.
I’ve found myself working from home until 9:30 at night because the little shits need attention during the day. And drinking pint cans of Heineken. This shit needs to fuck off.
Heh
I thought it was a way of combating the climate change crisis by giving people something more immediate to fear.
My sister left hong kong, went to England, then went back to hong kong, with a short stop in Thailand. Nanny for the childcare. Had to quarantine for 2 weeks, but with a definite end point, that's a doddle.
Being rich must be nice.
Supposedly Heineken tastes amazing in Holland, when it’s freshly brewed - according to someone I know. But I’ve never been and he might be exaggerating.

It's not amazing, but it's definitely amazing when compared to how it tastes here. It's quite remarkable how nice it is.
There's about a million fucking symptoms.
Just a continuous cough or fever is enough to be classed as a symptom. Also, stomach pains, muscle aches, head ache, dizziness, disorientation, runny nose, sore ears, tightness in the chest, diarrhoea are also possible symptoms.
I could just as easily have a normal but virulent bug right now & there's no way of knowing without a test.
Think my wife may have a medium dose of it.
Initially thought she had a sinus infection but it seems to have moved to her chest. A few fairly frightening moments when her breathing has become laboured. Waiting on the GP to call back with instructions.
Easy to see how this would take down an older person or someone with side issues.

Perspective.
Chances of catching the virus is pretty low despite the panic. As has ever been the case, not even in China (chance of catching C-19 is 20,000 to 1. or even Italy (800/1) or Thailand (75,000/1) or in fact anywhere. Those odds will drop over time but as the timelines of China and South Korea have shown, the vast majority of people won't catch this virus (and of those that do 85% will likely remain unaware they had it) ! And of those that do contract it only between 0.5% and 3% will die.
To put that into perspective the lifetime odds of dying in the USA (courtesy of Insurance Information Institute, extrapolate for UK etc.) from one of the following are wa way higher than C-19 :-
Firearms : 285/1
Car Crash : 572/1
As a Pedestrian 556/1
Motorcycle riders : 858/1
Exposure to Smoke/Fire : 1,474
Falling down steps : 1,672/1
Drowning : 5,732/1
Falling from a ladder : 7,283/1
and the big one : Accidental poisoning by and exposure to
noxious substances 64/1 (Opioids - including both legal and illegal 96/1)

Only between 0.5% and 0.3% will die!
Many misunderstandings! Not many troubles at all!

Are China still doing that social rating thing?
I think that's very understandable.
Well what on earth are you supposed to do when you're literally stuck in the house?!
Interesting. Surely it's not genetic
Beat your wife and kids I guess.
Again, this is just another way that everyone here is going to get to experience my lifestyle.
Delta
The panic or the regulation?
Well, I don't know anything about the regulation, but the panic I understand.
It's the hard drug addicts I feel sorry for.
Of those infected.
I'm sure everyone is very reassured and appreciates your state-approved stats
In China there was less disparity after contracting it : chance of dying was 2.8% women and 4.5% men.
