Yeah but that's showing EU incompetence once again. Dutch ISP's have all made statements about how this is nonsense. But yeah, I guess people in Spain, Italy or wherever with their SHITTY Internet infrastructure can't cope with Netflix's awesomeness.
Think of Paris' banlieuses. Think of Housing projects in general. 100+ households in one tower connected to one cheap distribution box.
When those collapse because of too much traffic because of total lockdown shit will hit the fan. It's actually very insightful.

400 euro fine if you're outside in a group. 4000 for business that allow it.
I'm not surprised though.

Did you see the press conference by the way? I'm not a Rutte fan, far from, but I think he handles this crisis very well. He's showing some real statesmanship. However, this on ly contrasts the journalism on display even more. Those journo's were a bunch of incompetent morons who had the intellect of a baboon. At one point even asking literally the same question another journalist had asked 90 seconds before.

Well, in the meantime, all of Germany has agreed to limit public gatherings to just two persons. Except for family.
All public stores are closed nation-wide. No more restaurants, bars etc. No more hair-dressers or similar, No more shisha-clubs, D'Oh.
Groceries, banks, post, restaurants for delivery are open as far as I know. I lost reality really.
And I don't care.
My home is my castle.

And nope... no guns you fuckwiths Americans.

On another note, I just called my insurance company to extend the hire car because of repairs delays and spent 25 minutes on hold. When answered I asked "how's it going there?" Busy as you'd expect. Staff explained their Manila call centre closed and they were now taking their traffic :smirk:

Yea boats are well known to be the best places to hide out during this pandemic. You should book a cruise, I hear they're the safest.

One of my colleagues has succumb to Covid-19. I didn’t know him, he was in our IT department. Don’t know his age, but had pre-teen children, so couldn’t have been that old. It’s getting real...

https://gizmodo.com/man-dies-wife-criti ... 1842465268
An Arizona man has died and his wife is in critical condition after listening to Donald Drumpf promote anti-malarial drug chloroquine as a treatment for the novel coronavirus and deciding to take some themselves, CNN reported on Monday evening.

In an interview with NBC News’ Vaughn Hillyard, the woman in question affirmed that she had heard the Food and Drug Administration had not approved the drug. But she added that “Drumpf kept saying it was basically pretty much a cure ... Oh my god. Don’t take anything. Don’t believe anything. Don’t believe anything the president says, and his people, because they don’t know what they’re talking about ... This is a heartache I’ll never get over.”

Yeah, they're all around us. Part of me thinks it serves them right for taking fish medicine, but nobody deserves to die because they're stupid and afraid. :(

But then keep in mind these are the folks that vote for regressive policies that eventually kill innocent people. Like anti-vaxxers that get sick and take a hospital bed away from a support worker that actually deserves it.

Fuck all the populists who have called this SARS-COV-2 virus spread a hoax, a left-wing liberal lie, a passable fad, a Chines virus, a hype, something that only China or Italy had to worry about.

Wait till you see a ICU ward full with COVID-19 patients who are choking to death with with double pneumonia that resembles ARDS.

So, should we round them all up and kill them? In the long run, lives will be saved.

Rub them in with some COVID-19 juices and deny them medical assistance when they get respiratory failure.
