Societal disruption due to the virus. Apparently China isnt as cleanly walking out of lockdown as advertized.
As we will need lockdowns too, thkis is good to know.

That's not why you got a 'shit storm' either. The amount of childish bullshittery perpetuated in this thread were the reasons for my dissent but you shoot all that down before a dialog could take place.

I recently ordered parts from China and they were delivered very quickly. Most business I have been in contact with are open for operations again.
We even get offers from Chinese manufacturers willing to assist with sourcing medical supplies free of charge
You can say of the regime what you want but a lot of Chinese are decent people trying to make a living just like you and me

It's starting to feel like we're in the middle of a defining moment in human history.
I'm not sure what that means exactly. It could be political like a change in world power or the rapid rise of nationalism, but my gut is telling me things will be very different when we come out the other side of this.

UK now approaching proper lock down, all Schools and Bars/Restaurants closed from yesterday.
My main personal anxiety is for my future financial position, left my salaried job just before this shit and i work as a freelance Chef so all my work vanished overnight - currently applying to work in supermarkets stacking shelves because anything is better than nothing.
My main yearly income is from the work i do at psychedelic retreats and festivals, all of which are cancelled. Outlook is bleak.
How are others faring in this regard? Most in this thread seem to have jobs that will still exist/can work from home.
My partner works in community healthcare and it seems she'll be getting deployed to 'front line' positions as things worsen, instead of staying home and trippin with me

The King of Holland held a speech yesterday and said: "We do not know what 2020 will bring but we know it will be a year we will remember for the rest of our lives."
His Majesty has the right idea.
This will be something we'll tell our grandchildren about.

I work in cannabis retail...my job is still there, if I want it, but I don't know how much longer we can hold out. Some have already left...some of us have cosen to stay. It's weird (as, I am sure, it is for all of you, no matter what your situation).
The fact that my profession is relatively recession-proof is quite apparent is the past few days/weeks. We have regularly been doing what we used to do on a friday or saturday...every day. We have been limited in how many we can have in the store, the past few days, but we are still doing steady business.

I was not sure if the weed stores were still open. For mail order they apparently make you come into the post office now.

Yeah I had read that about the mail, bummer 
We have thus far been running 9am-11pm...we have only really started to talk about reduced hours today. I'll see what the owner says today.

I reckon so too. The UK government is saying that it, ie the taxpayer, will pick up up to 80% of the wage bill of every company, pub, club, gym employees...the list is fucking endless... that has to close, so that if / when this virus is beaten, these companies can pick back up.
Maybe this time, this taxpayer bailout, ought to demand, and keep, shares in those companies / buisnesses when they get back up and running. A partial nationalisation.
While, in the US, the taxpayers get some understanding of free health care, via the Coronavirus tests, and demand change. Kick out the parasitic insurance companies that do fuk all but act as an added expense between a patient and their Dr.
If only we had had as many ventilators as bombs :scratches head:
