I have no idea why the case of coronavirus could be so serious outside China. I don't get why people in some countries don't wear masks and the governments do little for anti-virus.

My friend got bullied in skl for wearing a mask so
And also since many ppl from abroad have been flying back (mostly students) and then not self isolating themselves causing a lot of people to get infected
Also there was this guy who got corona and thought it was unfair that he got it so he spat at others which i find truely selfish, making me scared to go outside to even go grocery shopping
Now lots of ppl lost their jobs and are stealing things at night

Gra I am so sorry for all you are going through. I think this is the biggest challenge of your generation so far.
I have family in your area as well. I know it is hard for my niece as well. Lots of things are different, scary things are happening, and life is different.
We all have to face that this real and not going away soon. EACH of us has to do the best we can, and help in ways that we can. Teenagers are creative and can help in many ways.
People are making masks, which will help in the short run. I saw a 1000% higher rate of masks than last week. That is a good thing.
I for one am having to get used to having my travels and daily life limited severely. I am blessed to have all of you here from around the world … remote friends are REAL friends. We can support each other with friendship, tips, and love. Staying in touch with all of you helps.
If anyone has suggestions for things RFF can do to entertain, support , or just be here for you better, please do let me know.
Meanwhile, stay strong. We WILL get through this. Hold the faith!

Thanks to my imbecile state government for fuc*ing my life for the next five years! :groan:
The clowns running this state have banned Learner drivers from getting up their 120 hours needed to receive a drivers license. With no license, I cannot drive to work and I need employment so I can apply to become a police officer when I'm 21!
I will sitting my VCE Exams in December. In December, I planned to be celebrating with my mates finishing our educational journey from 2008 and nailing down a job. I am now sitting in an exam room in the middle of summer finishing my exams which should of been completed in November, instead of attending a job interview which I desperately need for my future dream employment.
Daniel Andrews & James Merlino, you have a lot to answer for. Get your sh*t together, get your affairs straight and have show governance. I will never ever, vote for the ALP (Democratic Party) ever and neither will half of the Year 12 students suffering because of your stupid 'essential services' :groan:

Bourkie and Lemontail….I am so sorry for what you are going through. Senior year has a lot of milestones and it is so sad that you might not get to have those. This sucks.
But you WILL get through this. Alternative options WILL become available. Life IS going to go forward, although not in the way we thought it would 2 months ago.
I have no answers. But you are both talented intelligent guys, and I know you will find a way through this.
We are at WAR...with an enemy we cannot see. How we deal with this crisis will define our futures for years to come. We are all struggling to deal with the changes day by day. I know that you are our future. You will find new ways. Have courage, look for alternatives to continue your paths and feel free to vent here anytime.
Love you!!

--- Quote from: theschnauzers on March 30, 2020, 02:32:21 PM ---Over the weekend the number of reported cases rose dramatically. Adding 38 on Sunday, another 86 on Monday with two more deaths. Statewide total approaching 500, an nearly 200 case increase in 3 days. My county rose to 61 cases.

Six days later, still no shelter in place or stay at home order, even though the city school system has said, no matter what the governor does, they’re going to only have online learning the remainder of the school year. The countywide bus system, after one reduction in service 10 days ago, is reducing it further.
The governor has ordered the closure of additional categories of business and venue to try to force voluntary compliance with social distancing, isn’t working well. Every time I take Edele for a walk we se small groups walking or standing together without observing social distancing. The governor did decide that gatherings of ten or more will be subject to a misdemeanor charge $650 and or jail time. But still avoiding the psychological pressure a stay at home order would have.
UPDATE:
The numbers have reached just under 1,000 cases (it will exceed 1,000 on Tuesday, nearly 100 deaths statewide, my county now has over 100 cases and about 10 deaths countywide. In six days. And the numbers, in seven days (through Tuesday) statewide up from Monday 102 to 1046, county up by 2 to 127. Deaths up by 3 in one day to 126. As you can see the numbers more Han doubled in one week.
I have a couple of items of groceries that weren’t included Sunday that I’ll get walking to the smaller location
Believe it or not canned black beans are in short supply, as are wipes, paper towels and toilet paper. I’ve found other items on Amazon. But what good is it to order cloth masks, there’s nothing downtown, and via Amazon will be two months?
And one last note a long time friend (35 years) who lives across the Hudson River from Manhattan NYC posted on FB today about a meal he and his husband were cooking for lunch, and mentioned they were in quarantine because his husband had a fever and was sent home to self quarantine. No other symptoms and noCOVID19 diagnosis or test as far as I could tell.
Another friend who it turns out is in Las Vegas again, seems to be camping in a local forest, but no mention of any symptoms. He’s just a loner with a canine who would do long haul driving with his truck. He won’t accept help, so you just let them be.
I have no idea about any relatives, and things are such after decades that I don’t care, because they have proven it’s not worth the effort. That’s the history and they don’t change and it’s no benefit to me under circumstances. They’ve proven that, too. So I won’t be mentioning them again.
