You can do a lot of virtual traveling here - https://en.360tourist.net/

 I was going to link to Romania but there is so much available on the site.  The Romanian countryside is beautiful.

A new Day, a new restriction in Italy.

Now it is forbid to move out or your local municipality.

Quote
Coronavirus, ban on the movement of people from the municipality where they are "except for proven needs"

https://www.corriere.it/cronache/20_marzo_22/coronavirus-divieto-spostamento-le-persone-comune-cui-si-trovano-af7a9136-6c51-11ea-8403-94d97cb6fb9f.shtml

Italy has now closed every non-essential activity.
You can exit from home only in a 200 m radius, for whatever reason, but work and food shopping.
Many supermarkets have now restricted opening hours, in addition only one person per family can enter the shop.

The only last step to be exactly like China is welders on the house doors.

Huh?  is that true?

There was not welding of doors in china, was there?

 It was going on but we'll never know how widespread it may or may not have been.

On my way back home, wife denied boarding to Canada despite marriage certificate and all visa documents. Booked another flight for her to her country in short order. Boarding at the same time at neighboring gates. Just as she steps through the gate to board her plane, I receive information that they've made a mistake and she's now allowed under the family exception.
 That's what I was trying to fucking tell you at the desk you imbecile!
No amount of protest can bring her back to the gate from the plane. I watch our planes depart in different directions. Some pure bullshit today. WTF


Corn responding similarly over the last few days  Roll Eyes



 Typical airline bullshit.  Nobody knows how to do their job properly during normal times so I can imagine it's an absolute shit show at the moment.

Good morning Bitcoinland.

Briefly touched the $7xxx range before correcting a little... currently $6660USD/$9507CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

Still a week and a half in Mic's contest. This should be interesting.

Stop using the paper money. Seriously, paper money is the easiest way to spread any kind of germs.

Not my paper money.  Cool



 Well that there's proof, uncirculated paper! Very special.

 We had been keeping abreast of the news but things began to progress much more rapidly than we expected.  Early this morning, we got a text message from our government saying to get home asap because they were closing the border to all but non-essential travel.  Once we got the border, we were told to self-isolate for 2 weeks but it seems to be on the honour system.  We just managed to make it back to our preferred home.  Hopefully you won't have too much difficulty where you are.


Good to hear that. It's important to be already where you want to be.

Here it started like that.. The "honour system" you mention... Then it all escalated from there and in 48 hours we were in full nationwide lockdown.

(Funny note: It sounds as we are talking about an alien invasion and how it started in different places of the world before it all felt apart lol)

I am good, it's my GF's house where I also live frequently and have everything I need. But I recently bought a house with plenty of land which would be the PERFECT place to completely isolate from the world no matter how long this shit lasts... and not being there, precisely when it would be like the fucking paradise, is frustrating me to... unexpected levels. Plus I had plans (before this lockdown) to keep on the renovations I was doing myself, the gardening, getting the pool ready, etc etc.... which would be the best and most productive way to use all my time now and give a shit about everything else. Being unproductive when I could avoid it is taking on my nerves.

Anyway... I am polishing a master plan that will put to work before next monday at most if they don't relax the restrictions.

   Sounds like you're in a good place and hopefully the restrictions will be relaxed soon.  If your master plan involves bribing someone to "kidnap" you and drop you at your new house, good luck! Wink

I'm finally capitulating.  I can no longer withstand the enormous pressure to return home from my virus-free surroundings.  This town's only Chinese food restaurant shut down yesterday and they never close.  It's time to pack up and leave.  See you on the flip side.



I heard Wuhan has good restaurants ....  Tongue Wink

Oh yeah!  ...and as an added bonus, there were no new cases of Covid-19 there today Roll Eyes  While the gas prices are awesome right now, I'm pretty sure that drive would have voided my car's warranty and my medical insurance as well.



Yeah, go back home or wherever you would rather prefer to stay confined in the case of a full long term lockdown before it's too late. I am currently "trapped" in the wrong home because I can not move anymore without risking HUGE fines. Was waiting while putting my shit together till everything clarified... and restrictions tightened instead. Now I am only like 10km apart from where I would like to spend my isolation time and I can't go there. Frustrating.

I don’t know to be honest, but if it doesn’t I will.


 Cheesy Cool

Aren't you afraid of germs, LFC?



 Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

I think that is now the canonical expression of true love:  You will risk contracting coronavirus so that you can come closer than officially mandated social-distancing distance.

Either that, or an expression of the fact that you think with the little head.



Anybody notice how it is now considered healthy to be isolated from other human beings?

 I don't believe any of us doubt your ability to compose a lengthy disquisition on the differences between healthy and prudent.  Are you trolling us, Nullius?

if you know how to use your shower you can also live a life without toilet paper much cleaner

 Most people in North America shower daily; in fact we have a maxim - shit, shower, shave - but we may not always be that regular.  Unfortunately our places of employment/public restrooms don't generally offer showering facilities, bidets or other fancy butt-crack cleaning services so whatareyagonnado?  Going home after a dump for a quick shower isn't an option and would probably get you fired in short order.  Toilet paper is all we gots in most cases.

"My best guess, for what it is worth, based on the latest Center for Disease Control data, is that confirmed COVID-19 (this specific form of the common cold) cases will not exceed 0.1% of the US population. Moreover, I do not think, when we look back on 2020, that the causes of death or serious injury will have changed much from 2017, for example: (CDC statistic)."

Elon doesn't panic.  Cheesy

 That's good for Elon but he's not going to find Mars anywhere near as forgiving as Earth when it comes to errors in judgement.

Let's be careful ourselves. Moon is a harsh mistress too.

Come on Bitcoin - you know what to do. It's your time to shine.




Actually, maybe we are seeing some decoupling of BTC/Crypto prices from the US Stock Market..or at least, IMHO, not as much as I dreaded! Smiley

Come on Bitcoin, you know the rule, if you are running from Bears you don't have to run faster than than the Bears, just the other guy, er 'stock market' Smiley





Futures are up ~4% not observing decoupling just yet

I am trying to 'reform' my image on WO and be 'hopeful' Smiley (I may have just tilted the Universe and made everything worse! Ack!)

Anyway, also I'd recommend watching a movie called 'Contagion' and a PBS show that is really good called "Alone in the Wilderness" if you have to cope like me.

Or hell everyone jumps on and revives their decade-old WOW account?

The old Chinese Curse comes to mind: May you live in 'interesting' times. Smiley





 Come on Searing!  You remember the good old days before internet, colour TV, cell phones, ATMs and dare I say modern plumbing? (at camp I mean)  You're going to have to stay positive - people are going to be looking to guys like us when they need to know how to set up a TV antenna, write a check, use a rotary dial phone and possibly the Sears catalogue as TP!

Ok, this seals it for me, the bio-engineered virus is a spook operation for sure. Probably CIA is only agency with access to such bio-weapons or authority to commandeer such access. NSA is branch of army so maybe them too but unlikely to get involved. May even be a rogue branch that 'slipped up' while doing their hidden masters bidding from the seat of the UN or some other global secret society power, e.g. Fabians.


The virus was engineered by a laboratory in Wuhan, and includes parts of tuberculosis and HIV. However, most of those reported with the virus dont have it, and most deaths also have nothing to do with it. Basically, anyone dying from pneumonia or from a cold is being marked in hospitals as a victim from the virus. The virus is real, but the pandemic is fake.

The ones who died in China, however, were infected by it. Since its a hybrid virus, it needs a push to work properly, and this was done with the 5G installed in Wuhan. The process of electroporation allows for remote control of the virus, through the use of nanomilimeter waves. These waves can penetrate the body and reach the cells, but they need an agent and a transmitter, in other words, the virus and the 5G cellphone.

The chinese population was vaccinated against coronavirus in December 2019.

 Be careful! Facebook, Google and Twitter have teamed up to fight Covid-19 misinformation.  I hear they have hired roving gangs of thugs recently released from LA prisons (allegedly to protect inmates from infection) indiscriminately laying beatings on anyone remotely associated with Covid-19 misinformation including jokes, humour and works of historical fiction.

You can buy unallocated pool metals from Kitco... I know, not your keys not your coins.

LOL, FTFY:

You can buy unallocated pool metals from Kitco... I know, not your coins not your coins.

...indeed, just like Bitcoin!  (At least in this respect.)



I have never used my Bitcoin there.

Well, you must be laughing it up at all the people HODLing dollars.

Why not take delivery?  Oh, right.  Hmmm.

 Thanks for fixing that.  

 I have taken delivery in the past but dealing with physical metals is a pain in the ass and based on current events, I'm not so sure when the shit hits the fan it will be very useful anyway. Nobody wants to touch anything right now with or without a glove.

edit: I never laugh at another's misfortune

Guys, check out silver price.  Roll Eyes

It's actually in the buy zone for me. But ironically, no one can get silver at spot right now, the silver vendors have made sure of that with a high premium.

 You can buy unallocated pool metals from Kitco... I know, not your keys not your coins.   Also, not something I would do at this point, you get a 3% discount if you buy with Bitcoin.  I've been dealing with them for over 12 years now without issue. (including pool metals)
I have never used my Bitcoin there.
