Meanwhile, this is happening now:
SA Zionist Churches to go ahead with Easter conference despite ban of huge gatherings - SABC News - Breaking news, special reports, world, business, sport coverage of all South African current events. Africa's news leader.
The South African Zionist Churches has raised questions over why companies, which employ thousands of people, are still allowed to operate - while a public ban prohibits thousands of their members from gathering. The remarks were in response to government's banning of gatherings of more than 100...www.sabcnews.com

I will look into more detail into Spain, but I think broadly, the EU countries were too relaxed, not just Italy.
I'm also disturbed to read countries from China, Iran and Italy are still landing in the UK: https://t.co/mkd5y5weOf?amp=1

Roll the army into those Easter gatherings and just detain all the fsck wits... And all the church leaders should spend a stint in the chook.

there are three branches to this whole ZCC thing, one branch agreed to forgo Easter with Corona, while two others did not agree...

I'm not dying. You're not dying. Relax already. Eat less sugar, that's what's killing you, not COVID-19.

Just got news -
A colleague at the SO's work has just been confirmed as positive. They have put the office on lock down and advised all staff to work from home and isolate (SO has been at home since Thursday).
But what concerns me is the course of events -
Staff member felt flu symptoms on TUESDAY and went to the Doc. COVID-19 suspected and test were run on WEDNESDAY. Results advised this evening, SUNDAY. Therefore the test results of our numbers are 4 DAYS behind.
Needless to say, as my SO and this staff member had been in close contact during the preceding week, we as a family now have to isolate (I have been WFH since Monday last week). None of us are displaying any symptoms. TF we have sufficient food to last us through the next 2 weeks, besides bread. Hopefully one of our neighbors can assist in arranging bread and possibly cheese over the next while.
Oh, and there's no chocolates or chips in the house - may need those, but beer and wine is okay......

I don't like sugar either. But seriously now, enough with the hysteria. People die every 20-seconds of heart disease. Let's rather pray for them; much better hit-ratio.
That is true, but healthy people will generally be okay, immuno-suppressed will struggle.

Delayed until tomorrow as expected.
Why even bother telling people that he would be saying anything tonight...

Their pandemic started long after the Chinese, it didn't spread from China straight , but from ski resorts, so I don't think the contractors had anything to do with Spain's current death rates.
27 new cases and 2 new deaths in Poland, a 43-year-old man and a 37-year-old woman
Also stuff like the above starting to be more and more common.Was another one in Europe ( don't remember the country) that 50% of ICU is people under 50 years.
Some regions of Europe got hit with A and B strains of Flu right until end of February, might be playing in high mortality , weakening the immunity.

Well..... I'm not sure what there is to say.
I know he won't do a lock down. So the rest is just to encourage the masses.
