Aussie lockdown

Well thanks for sharing your experiences I'm confident that more ppl on here will have their country going to lockdown in the near future. Many ppl have lost their job, pretty lucky to still have mine yet it's still important to think of others in these circumstances and help each other out whenever possible.

What does it taste like ?
It looks... quite odd, I have to say.

Australia took so long to lock down. they had to closed the beaches in NSW, cuz this ppl think they are on holidays.

Chile happens the same, the government said, school close (teachers still working there) , kids in his house... but familys going to litoral for holidays.
We dont have a quarantine ... so now we have 746 and 2 deaths "confirmed "...
Our health system is horrible so i think that number is a lie .

I spent a total of one month in Chile last year and this year. I flew out of Santiago for Barcelona on February 13. At that time, everything seemed calm, the only thing people were anticipating back then was that the protests might come back in March.

Well, at least you have a national health system in place. In America, you have to count on your luck or money. As for the CDC numbers, they changed the h1n1 numbers by a factor of 100 afterwards to reflect the "real statistics".

it's the same shit in france actually. im at home since one week and have to stay there for like maybe 4 more ( no more job cause i work at a school and it's close ) it's bored to stay at home but we have to do that . i just have my cat with me ahahah and i think he dont understand why im always there xD

And what happens if you personally do have a mild cough?

Do you go to the doctors where there are plenty of actual sick people where you're more likely to cross paths with actual infected people who go there for help. It's probably nothing but I don't have a fever. There's probably many logical benign reasons why I have a mild cough but deep down am certain it's just house chores a few days ago and running the fan all day when there's dust everywhere. I've been using cough lozenges to kill the swelling in my throat and drinking alot of tea.

To tell you the truth, with the exception of certain online stores no longer accepting new orders and the supermarket enforcing a 2 item limit for milk and rice. I am confident that i am able to go out and buy all of the groceries i need. And yes that includes toilet paper. But you just have to go to the shops like at 7am on the dot.

There are people prepping and hoarding excessively but my livelihood and groceries convenience isn't actually that harshly affected at all. But yep plenty of people are scared and I'm sure my parents are too. I really don't want to tell them that I have phlegm in my throat that is sore and then have them freak out. I don't have serious nausea or anything but just an annoying bug in my throat from house chores.

Except it'll be tricky to tell my dad I can't see him on his 77th birthday this end of week. I'm much more scared I would accidentally infect him since I'm not that 100 percent solid I'm not infected. And people his age are most vulnerable.

Dogface9 better safe than sorry I guess.
Any you guys from France, Germany etc feeling a bit anxious about the death rate? I'm asking because a few Australians have returned from the lockdown countries streaming or recording themselves warning us that we should be more paranoid, honestly just doing more harm by causing more panic.
