All schools, kindergartens, colleges and other non-essential public institutions are closing due to Corona virus. All other companies have been told to have their employees work from home. All sporting events, concerts etc. cancelled.
After the announcement yesterday evening, groups of people in my city lost their minds and cleared out all the supermarkets, though there is no risk of supply shortage. Idiots are buying 10 litres of milk that will go bad in three days, hour long cues on a Wedensday night etc. I'm a little ashamed of people, actually, now 20% of people have a bunch of stuff they don't need and decent people and the elderly can't get toilet paper for a few days.
It's a strange feeling: a bit like being in a war or a zombie movie... streets are empty, people hoarding yeast - yet rationally, there isn't much to worry about.
Guess I'll get started on some sourdough.
