So I at least have to change my flight, trying to reach the company but they must be completely overloaded with calls... We'll try to just transit through, and hopefully bringing the date forward to leave as soon as possible before the last stop on the journey refuses us as well :-p | ||

The only thing this company has mandated is that if you were scheduled to leave the country and come back then youll have paid self quarantine time, but otherwise its come to work or use PTO. EDIT: I also wouldnt be surprised to see a lot of people at this company die, lots of people there are definitely at risk people and people have died at their desks there for less. | ||

Classes and gatherings are being called off, workplaces are allowing home-office, hospitals are preparing for the worst and I've even called off going to visit my parents (them living the in the coutryside). Now our president has tested positive (only the first test, so it isn't 100% certain) after coming back from meeting with Trump. (Edit: erc, or maybe not https://www.foxnews.com/world/brazil-bolsonaro-coronavirus-test-negative-eduardo) At least, in true Brazillian fashion, whatsapp groups are filled with funny coravirus and financial meltdown memes. Nothing can take down our sense of humor and the ability to laugh at our own misfortune. + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/7J4eHbE.jpg) So conflicting reports about this, I've read that he tested positive at a couple of places, and that it's fake, and he tested negative at other sources... Also, as predicted, with 2547 new cases, Italy overtakes China as the nr.1 country with the most active cases :/ | ||

My province has closed schools, university and the likes, I'm looking to go give a hand at my old job in the health system since I'm out of school anyway.

It's also, well, toilet paper, it's not like you can't use something else as oppose to actual food, seems like a weird thing to do when expecting the apocalypse. Everyone keep saying there will not be any penury anyway. | ||

Meanwhile we have a steady flow of tourists, some from infected areas. Worrying to wonder how much cases we don't know about. Doesn't seem to be much quarantine measures. I'm starting to think we may end up coming out ahead by the entire fucking country being sick for like 2 weeks then we're back to normal. It's like we're doing such a bad job at managing this that it'll be horrible, tons of people die, then we're peachy. | ||

I’m a bit concerned because my wife is on the other side of the country right now and my small company will be greatly impacted if he enforces mandatory business closures. Not that I’m opposed to it at all because it’s the right thing to do, but getting my wife home safe and healthy is all I want. I wish you and your family all the best! Get your wife home! | ||

The director of the pandemic office of the national security council talks about what her role would have been, if her office still existed. An interesting lol at how governments respond to these situations. | ||

An interesting lol at how governments respond to these situations. The US was in deep threat in front of the mysterious "deep state" organize by shadowing figure who were suspected of "knowing stuff". What's a little virus against that? Also, who's administering health services in the US, mostly federal or state level? | ||

She flew into San Francisco on Wed. night and comes back Monday - luckily she’s staying out of populated areas throughout. Fingers crossed, because her grandma is currently living with us (thankfully she doesn’t go out) and she has major heart disease and diabetes, which are two huge risk factors. | ||
