He was livid when the police caught him.

Apparently it was a frame job.

Sometimes the flu can cause the bodies immune system to become overactive and it will start attacking the body itself causing organ failure. I think that's how it killed so many young and healthy people in 1918. Fuck this thing :(

563 people passed yesterday. That's just bloody awful.

This is going to be the norm for the next few weeks I think. I feel sorry for all involved.

What scares me is countries with lesser hygiene and more strife, India, African countries with war and poverty, the numbers will be awful when this is over.

Tech Demo for the new S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game:



Silliness aside, that's what it looks like here on most Sundays too, in countries where everything closes. :-k

Latest local stats are about 2,200 infected, 23 deceased.

Restrictions have ramped up more on supermarkets, where entry and exit is by count, and no more than 1 person per household allowed in.

Aside from that, still pretty calm overall - a few restaurants are even letting us order to collect.

Luxembourg looks exactly like Switzerland

This may sound morbid but you really need to have a will written, even as a general rule. Even if you think you think you do not have much in the way of assets it a good policy to have otherwise the government will take a share that would otherwise go to your family.

I was thinking that - it is one of those things I have always put off knowing I should get around to it. Challenge is, how to make one while sequestered away from everyone else.
