Bolty is in self loathing mode.

Bolty is the only person who doesn't need to self isolate.
The rest of the population made that decision for him years ago.

No idea why I piled on Bolty but it's fun.
Joking aside, it isn't too bad here for most - although economically it's going to hurt quite a few.
Lockdown is only a week in though - so it'll be interesting how another month or two will affect people.
And it really isn't a proper lockdown - it just made the roads easier for me to get to work

First two weeks has been fairly lenient here but feeling is they are going to get a lot stricter over the next few weeks .

Pretty crazy here, guess it’s near to peaking here in s week or two. Lockdown extended to April 30.
Trump must be a nightmare to deal with for the doctors advising him and trying to keep a lid on this thing.

Where my mom is they are still allowing gatherings of 15 people or less.
My sister in law and her husband are headed up 3/4 hours to adopt a baby tomorrow.
Has not hit them too bad yet 3 deaths in 4.3 million people.

Supermarkets, Pharmacies & Opticians are the only shops open around me here in Muscat.
Popped out to my local Spar (5 mins walk) earlier today, went to grab a shopping cart and before I got anywhere near it an assistant drenched it in disinfectant/sanitiser; was only 4 days ago a few there started wearing masks.
The locals and more swarthy-skinned expats in my team seem to have disappeared off the face of the earth and 90% of the senior management team are stuck outside the country and can't get in.
Full-on Arabesque panic mode, apparently, but I'm sat in my apartment well away from it all.

Medellin, Colombia
The country locked down early, closing off borders and imposing a lock down until mid April. Not a huge number of cases, last I saw 4 deaths (population 50 million) , but the health service wouldn’t take a lot of strain. My brother in law works at one of the big hospitals and says it’s quiet. They’ve added additional restrictions, no domestic flights, no travel between cities. You can go out shopping three slots a week based on the last digit of your I’d. No shortages as of now. Supermarkets at first struggled to get home delivery up and running but now seems to work fine.
There’s not at this point major discontent. I’m sure they well extend the lockdown, maybe with some changes until say the end of May. Local universities were working early on with manufacturing here to produce more ventilators.
So, when I watch Sky News each day I do wonder why a ‘third world’ country like Colombia can get on with it when other more developed countries seem to find it difficult.

Probably, as like Thailand, the government don't give the people the correct information and don't give a fuck either
If your brother in law works in a swanky hospital I doubt the locals could afford the insurance or the treatment

Clearly you’re not a big expert on the Colombian medical system. Universal health care, surprisingly cheap and available to all. My brother in law is a doctor at a hospital that available to all and considered in the top 10 in Latin America.

Was in KL just before they stopped letting foreigners in. Was nice and quiet.
Until 2 weeks ago, I was enjoying Bangkok. Now I'm bored and sweaty. Can't see things changing for weeks yet.

LA is increasing restrictions. Beaches and parks closed. Most shops are shut as 'non-essential' although gun shops are open.
Drove on the 405 freeway yesterday. Very few cars but lots of trucks. But shit it's 80F
