Genfærd 452 Posted March 17, 2020 16 hours ago, Whitehouse said: I know we say this a lot with a grain of salt but the words "It's coming nearer" should be taken more serious. The Deathlist site is more or less a tongue in cheek site not to be taken too serious, but now I myself feel I'm at risk. I'm not in the key Demograph that's to serious in danger (old people or people with underlying illnesses) but last week I stayed in a hotel in the Province of North Brabant in the Netherlands. This province is the hot spot in the Netherlands and any cough you make over there gets you a suspicious look, even though you might be suffering from an innocent flu. As of this week all restaurants and cafe's are closed. Hotels are still open but the restaurant part of them is not. So getting something to eat is already a challenge if you're not at home. Schools are shut so people with children are more or less force to take care of their children now they are at home. I already had to fill in for someone else (I don't have children) who had to stay home. Stay save everyone..... It's scary. I went for a quick walk and the city was empty at noon. Barely any people out there. Our Queen is talking to the nation tonight - i've never experienced this besides the yearly new years speech. It's expected that Denmark will see a complete curfew. It's surreal to be in the middle of this. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At least we are having a taste of what it was like during the war, except we don't have food rationing, or bombs falling on us etc.Mind you the pubs stayed open during the war so maybe it's even worse ! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be honest I wouldn't be overly suprised if there was some sort of European war when we come out the other side of this with all the border-controls that have been put in place - i'm not sure they'll all be lifted.

If you make a point of listening to multiple genres of music, you've likely heard him without maybe realizing it. He's got some terrific stuff. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
