Corona - Life in lockdown Denmark.

These closings could be the death knell for numerous small businesses.

Movie theaters, museums, bars, restaurants, cafes are taking a huge hit.

The politicians are okay with the sacrifice of small business.

I should use my free tickets for the movies today. Maybe get some popcorn.

No, they are not, that is your irrational paranoia speaking. The politicians are aware of the impact of the policies enacted to contain the epidemic.

The real question is, just how valuable is human life? (and how valuable is human life for the pro life Christian?)

Very important. It is Christ who has offered life and life more abundantly.

I see. And very religious sounding.

So what calculus do you think we should use to determine economic worth for these supposedly valuable lives? Should we emphasize economic vitality of small businesses today over lives of people?

Hello everyone, sorry for not having been more active here, but it's been some busy days at work and I really needed to just unwind this weekend.

Wednesday Denmark decided ongoing lockdown. There is widespread support of this action, including with me. It might be a bit much, but we're hoping to slow down the ramp of infected people so the hospitals won't be overwhelmed with critical cases like what is happening in Italy right now.

The company I work for, warned us all a week ago, to bring our laptops home after work every day, in case a lockdown was announced. Wednesday, while I was working at a client of ours at STIL (Styrelsen for IT og Læring "Ministry of IT and Education") it was decided by this ministry that everyone would be working from home. In solidarity with this decision the teams from the company, I work for decided to follow the same procedure, so I've worked from home for the last couple of days and expect the same for the upcoming two weeks. After that, it is anyone's guess.

Our teams committed ourselves to not lose one iota of work during this lockdown, and we're staying on track with that promise. It's taking some extra work, but nothing major.

About the only thing I'm concerned about is whether my trip to Florida in May will be canceled.

Otherwise, things are doing fine here, though feel free to ask me anything about what's going on.

Apparently your country is also passing a bill that allows forced government vaccinations. How do you feel about that?

Please stop trolling and trying to derail threads.

Is there a better way to prevent vulnerable people from getting the virus then to restrict all social interaction? Great for introverts, but not so great for others. Guess we can't quarantine those most likely to die to protect them from the virus and pay for whatever they need. And then let the school children catch it and recover. There is procbably not a good way to get passive immunity immunoglobulins from the survivors for the critically ill patients, is there? Or maybe there is? https://www.statnews.com/2020/03/05/...t-coronavirus/

100% support during this time of emergency. In general (looking aside from the other authorities granted in that bill), there is no rational reason to not vaccinate.

Unforeseen side effects from an untested vaccine?

This is how the zombie apocalypse starts in movies.

Just had a thought...

What if we really ARE living in an end-of-the-world-disaster movie?

Shouldn't the Rock or Tom Cruise along with some pretty and shapely female doctor be saving us by now?

Or are we the extras?

I got the wrong movie! We aren't in an outbreak movie, we are in The Planet of the Apes!

Hundreds of hungry monkeys swarm across Thai street as 'rival gangs' fight over food after tourists who normally feed them stay away because of coronavirus
