    DON'T PANIC.... well, maybe a little bit.

    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...

    DON'T PANIC.... well, maybe a little bit.

    Thanks for sharing. The following quote is also worrying: "By Wednesday, Indonesia’s tally of infections stood at 227, with 19 deaths. The nation of 260 million had run just 1,255 tests by Tuesday. By contrast, South Korea, with a population of a fifth that size, is doing more than 15,000 tests...

    Bad news. 12 deaths within 1 day. https://m.kumparan.com/kumparannews/update-corona-di-indonesia-227-positif-11-sembuh-19-meninggal-1t37xJ863Kl

    DON'T PANIC.... well, maybe a little bit.

    On a VOA I think I would fly out, too. At least, if my GF/wife has family or friends who can support in case of infection / help needed. Since you wrote 'don't want to be left alone'...I hope you did not really mean that he is the only person around you and you would still have somebody around...

    DON'T PANIC.... well, maybe a little bit.

    Yes, I think so, too. As far as I know this document was originally for Chinese tourists and was now extended (so, already edited...we should recheck for updates every now and then).

    DON'T PANIC.... well, maybe a little bit.

    The question is: Are those doubts regarding Indonesia's economical outlook justified? If not...then it is probably only a temporary phenomenon and I could imagine that the exchange rate will go back into the other direction again (since there is a lot of hysteria at the markets at the moment)...

    Transfer USD from Indonesia to Italy in Euros

    VIP money changer seems to be a great deal for people living in Jakarta. On Lombok, I was looking for a money changer which offers competitive exchange rates, but I was not yet successful (although avoiding touristy places where you are probably more likely to get bad exch. rates and/or fees)...

    DON'T PANIC.... well, maybe a little bit.

    I don't care so much about the flight ticket, but about the reaction of my employer if I have to tell them that I have to extend my work-free time because I cannot travel back home. But on the other hand...I have no influence on future political decisions...therefore, I think they would (have...

    DON'T PANIC.... well, maybe a little bit.

    And I have to return for work to my EU home country in a few months. Could become tricky... :unsure:

    DON'T PANIC.... well, maybe a little bit.

    Yes, I also thought about that...why is the number of deaths so much higher in Italy? I also thought of pollution, smoking, etc. and the demograpy in Italy is different from China and other asian countries. Even for a European country, Italy has many people in higher age. Furthermore, Italy was...

    DON'T PANIC.... well, maybe a little bit.

    Situation in Italy is very worrying. Almost 350 deaths within the last 24 days. Whole country is locked down. There are fines for people who are outside if they do not go buying food or medication. But of course, due to incubation time, those measurements will affect the numbers earliest 14 days...

    How do you guys invest?

    What do you guys think about holding rupiah and depositos these days? Considering the corona threat and possible chain effects, you still think BPRs are a safe choice? LPS would guarantee some kind of security, at least as long as the economic effects don't get too ugly. But then there is also...

    DON'T PANIC.... well, maybe a little bit.

    Good step. Only 80 clicks so far, but I hope more people will listen to it when it gets shared. And probably, many people already listened to it on the radio or where it is originally from.

    DON'T PANIC.... well, maybe a little bit.

    Update on this: CureVac declared that they will reject the proposed exclusive contract with the USA. “We want to develop a vaccine for the whole world, and not for individual states,” Christof Hettich, chief executive of Dievini Hopp Biotech Holding, told the newspaper Mannheimer Morgen...

    DON'T PANIC.... well, maybe a little bit.

    FED and Canadian central bank have lowered the key interest rate again. Fed by 1% (!), it is now 0.00 to 0.25 %. Some European central banks plan to initiate some coordinated actions. If there is still somebody who thinks that there is no significant thread to the world economy and the impact...

    DON'T PANIC.... well, maybe a little bit.

    This is probably one of the reasons why some people are annoyed by politics nowadays: https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2020/03/15/coronavirus-germany-tries-to-stop-us-luring-away-firm-seeking-vaccine.html

    Wh owns the chicken?

    And before that, they get trained on how to find an insurer via google and how to close a life insurance contract ;)

    DON'T PANIC.... well, maybe a little bit.

    190 new cases in Malaysia today. Makes me a bit worried that the climate around here is not as much of an issue for the virus as some of us hoped.

    Wh owns the chicken?

    Probably not compliant with the law, but maybe often handled like this in reality.

    Wh owns the chicken?

    I think the first question is: Does the driver have to compensate for the chicken? If I were in that situation, I think I would compensate the owner. But from a legal point of view...would the driver have to? Or is it the responsibility of the chicken's owner to ensure that the chicken is not...
