Even if the tv store closes, you can still go to Hypermart, Carrefour, etc to buy a tv.
Carrefour PVJ mall in Bandung is where we went- EMPTY! Absolutely EMPTY. Only people there were staff andmaybe about 10 others shopping.
The streets thru Bandung- EMPTY, feeling proud of the people for being pretty smart and staying home.
And order everything online. Even cheaper.
That also works for medication and daily groceries btw. We just ordered 3 kilo eggs, 1 kilo of butter, and a DVB-T antenna.
I didn't want to risk a motorcycle delivery of a telly in what is still rainy season.
PS we got a great deal 2juta discount.
Question to those people who are already purchasing medication: Do you already buy because you fear it won't be available anymore soon or because you already noticed symptoms of illness? And are you part of the risk group (age/diseases)?
I am usually the type of patient who buys medication only if really necessary. But now, if the medication might not be available anymore soon, it makes me think. But as far as I know the chances of getting healthy again are also very good without medication. Or am I wrong? If the chances without medication are also fine, (since being around 35 years) I would tend to trust my body's defense system and leave the medication for people who are more threatened by the disease.
Since yesterday's evening, I am noticing low symptoms. I hope it is just a cold that I caught. But for community's safety reasons I will quarantine myself, and will also research if the symptoms fit covid or regular flu/cold. For now I will not go to a doctor since, as far as we know from the news, there are not so many test kits yet and probably better to leave them for people in a more critical condition. And I think, beside the possibility of having a test, the benefit from a visit at the doctor is lower than the risk of getting another disease.
I try to keep a stock of mixed types of antibiotics in, as a
smoker, cough cough I do tend to pick up a nasty chest infection at least once a year in Feb/March it only ever seems to clear after a dose of penicillin.. However, my hubby doesn't drive (he has his SIM A - but means little) nor does he deserve to be oin the streets on a scooter, so I think ahead & prep ahead, mainly because if I am too ill with an infection to get out i have the means to start healing.
The ojek/gs are gone from our part of the mountain now. The local warung is closed now. It is only early days, I think things will get quite shady later.
What I would advise for you being as i am such a not at all qualified medic hahaha- get honey in, proper stuff not the pathetic excuse sold in many places, honey is a cureall a natural protector, get some lemons in and some comfort food, get some menthol massage oil or Vick's vapour rub in , whatever it is you would use for comfort with a usual head cold.
Maybe some ginger root too- mashed up in honey & hot water & lemon juice drink is soothing- I won't charge you for this - community spirit & all that jazz.
get well soon & do keep us posted on your condition, we like to know details in here
