Now we're starting to feel how it was during WW2 https://futurezone.at/netzpolitik/corona-krise-schweiz-ueberlegt-netflix-abzudrehen/400784333 it's a whole EU thing... but they proposed not to shut them down, rather to limit the bandwidth to SD resolution (480p)... I do really hope EU gets cancelled as soon as possible... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta keep those priorities high. of course it's not the true reason I'm not a EU fan... that's just another example of what they focus on instead of what they should do...

Not so much so for the most eastern half of the continent I'd assume.. But then you have Tour des Flanders, which didn't get cancelled even during the WW2, so in some respects it's even worse. (and the fact that the Olympics will get cancelled/potponed for the first time since 1944) #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OlympicIRL 4,769 Posted March 19, 2020 #1360 Share Posted March 19, 2020 +191 new cases here today, only 9 countries reported a higher number of new cases today than that. Worrying times. The Taoiseach (Prime Minister) said that we are expecting 15000 cases here in next 2 weeks. And we ordered 30,000 more test kits. The numbers beginning to look scary here.
