    I could not agree more. If that is really their approach, it is irresponsible.

    But is it likely to become that bad? Regarding products from China...I think China has already experienced its worst period of the epidemic and the situation gets much better now. From what I read, (at least officially) there have been only a small two-digit number of new infections per day the...

    I think noone on this forum had doubts on that. The theory that some believe or hope is true is that the virus does not spread so easily in hot and humid areas. And the picture that you posted is not contradicting (nor confirming) that.

    Same with Euro exch. rate. Two hours ago, it has been above 16,700 IDR. Very tempting. But I wonder by how much it could increase within the next days or weeks, but also how much safer it is to keep Euro instead of IDR?

    I still hope that the tropical weather is a factor. But, anyway, of course you are right that it is very risky to put all of your faith into that. People should be told to keep distance, avoid crowded places and taught about hygiene etc. Should be easy to say at least sth like this: "We have it...

    I hope, at least, they tried to return the toilet paper before using it :)

    Yes, it is one of the main issues regarding brexit. But to close that border now very suddenly? I don't know if that was wise or how that would work, considering the number of people, vehicles and goods passing that border every day. Many people who work on the other side of the border cannot...

    Why not closed for people from UK as well? Because of economic reasons? Or because Trump likes the way Boris 'handle things'? Health risk does not seem to be the reason. There are a few Euopean countries that have a smaller infected people rate (considering the population of the country) than...

    Suggestions for building a house

    If you want to build here: I think the question is what to expect. After discussing with people and reading about this topic for a while now, I minimized my expectations. My wife and I plan to stay in this beautiful country and I would like to be independent from landlords and rent increases...

    Exchange rate already suffered because investors hesitate and people flee into the so called safe harbours (compared to euro 1:14,800 to above 1:16,000). Question is how far away are we from the lowest point!?
