No official word on RAW AIR yet but I'm guessing the winners for this year can be set in stone as of now?

Funnily enough, since March 10th was Lithuania's 30th Independent birthday and March 11th was Independence day, I was on stage less than 16 hours ago in front of a massive crowd and I shook at least 40 hands yesterday.

 

So this whole panic mode that started just this morning seems extremely ridiculous and makes me wonder that we didn't officially close down anything earlier simply because we were preparing for our national celebration.

 

That final big bang of everybody being together and having a good time before the virus hysteria takes everything away

Seems very likely though the only I've seen about events is no events with more than 50 in Oslo.

What's the problem with VPNs?

 

 

 

Was a bad joke attempt since the mobile oprators of the country provided to the authorities the datas of their customers to know who was in the risk areas in the last couple of weeks, from first investigations, it looks like only around 8000 peoples from Bratislava were in Italyfrom 17th February lol. They will all be ordered to stay in 14 days quarantine altogether with their family relatives now...https://www.aktuality.sk/clanok/772133/koronavirus-8000-bratislavcanov-mohlo-byt-v-taliansku-od-polovice-februara-tvrdi-vallo/

 

 

So I was joking to remove the Italian or so VPN to not be somehow wrongly included in that group ..I know bad joke

Slovakia having the same measures as Italy is a little bit of an overreaction...

I agree on one hand, but on the other hand it starts to look like that's kind of the only way to not become the next Italy.

New precautions in the Netherlands:

 

- Everyone who is having mild symptoms should stay home and avoid social contacts while awaiting how his/her situation will develop (until today this advice - it's only a strong advice - was for the province of Brabant)

- All events and things where more than 100 people get together, will be cancelled in the entire country

- Everyone is asked to work from home as much as possible

- Strong question to keep visits to the elderly and otherwise vulnerable people to a minimum

- Don't travel abroad
