Just Had An Oh Fuck Moment...
 

I have been pretty casual about this whole CV19 thing - Then about an hour ago I was reading through a few articles and it sort of hit me - This is pretty fucked up...

If I get it I am pretty sure I am fucked - Diabetic, smoker, weird blood disease that they can't work out and the list goes on - My only family are literally as far away as it is physically possible to be.....

Yep - Starting to feel very uncomfortable...

:warning:helpme

Stay calm, and........well yeah that's it.

I believe you're in NZ. It is THE refuge for people who can afford it.
Beautiful place, relax, enjoy life. This too shall pass

As a smoker of 40 years, I feel your concern. Good luck to you, do everything you possibly can to stay safe. I work at home so I do not go out much, food and smokes is about it these days. Trying to limit as much exposure to others as I can.

I'll try - They just put the region mum is in on lock down - All bars, restaurants, schools etc closed for min 15 days - This is not helping my paranoia! - lol...

Yeah - It really is pretty much the safest place - For now anyway.....

Same - Just put in a big order from the supermarket for delivery - Bolting the doors and not coming out till it's all over...

This is not going away anytime soon and even if it does, it will be back next year.

Best thing to do is quit smoking and starting getting healthy.

Yup. This is globalism. This is us, this is our world.

I had a similar "moment" earlier. Gave up smoking a few years back, but I have a number of minor health issues that suddenly now seem to have a knock-on effect. I'm more worried for my sister, she's been really ill and she's just starting to get better.

NZ doesn't have many cases so far. Something to think about for the future though, quit that smoking if you can... Or at least smoke less

shame

NZ is the place to be man, too bad i missed that boat few years ago

Idea is keep up the immune system get extra zzzs when you can and sleep upright if you get it. Don't drown in own fluids get some antihistamines to wear off the waterboarding effect of it.

They're closing off my closest city (Cartagena) and I live outside it.

Good thing is with the shit planning of most Spaniards, I put in a massive supermarket order earlier in the week, everything arrived apart from mangoes, and I've got enough food/drink for a few months, even got a 3 for 2 offer on bog roll.

Eddy stay where you are Jacinda has your back..

New Zealand is the first country to lock down all borders, anyone returning/coming from from overseas is now required to go in to 14 days quarantine.

Fucks up my travel plans but I'm glad NZ has done this, the only way they'll get through....

You're not far from mum - I saw that Murcia has closed down as well - John went to Lidl in Almoridi this morning at 9:20 and they pretty had nothing left - It opens at 8:30 - Nuts...

For some reason I thought you were up north somewhere.....

Yep - The bright side of all this is we have an election coming up and it looked like National might get in - This might put her back in front - Fingers crossed...

I was in Asturias, moved down here last year.

I was all ready for the shutdown, but I just realised I haven't got any saffron (first world problems) hehe.

Use turmeric - At least makes it look the right color - Mum's latest drama is if the Tabac is opening - I'm sure they are, there would be riots if the Spanish couldn't get their cigs...

Yep stancos are still open.

Food shops
Chemists
Petrol stations
Stancos
Kiosks

everything else shut.

Your grounded - It just said on the news you can't leave the house unless you are going for food, medication or to go to hospital...

I live in the desert, they can fuck off! hehe
I go 14 days without leaving my house quite often, so no problem. Just run round the perimeter (it's nearly a km) a few times every day with the dogs, shame it's not warmer, I'd get the pool cover off.
