Amazing. 24 hours without anyone talking here. Even this chat is in isolation!

Some of us are still here.

Weekends are generally quieter. But since people are probably going out less, I too would have expected it to be busier.

@Isaac Where you are located?

This makes horrible reading.

Warning: ignore unless you have a strong stomach.

@FaheemMitha Above the equator in any map you've got ;-)

@FaheemMitha Horrible reading indeed !

@Isaac Ok, that's vague.

@FaheemMitha Ok, specific: Not in Bombai ;-P

@Isaac Even less specific.

Next you'll be telling me you don't live in Mars.

@FaheemMitha How did you find that out? ;-P

@Isaac I was inspired.

@FaheemMitha Oh, c'mon, cheer up !! Don't be so serious ...

Spain

@Tim ?

or latin america

you can analyze his time zone and then above equator seems to rule out latin america

There are several latin american countries above equator.

So is India

I have heard that R's S4 OO system was inspired by CLOS

I am sorry to hear that France had a huge spike of new cases yesterday

@FaheemMitha I am so sorry

@Tim Why? I'm not starving to death (I'm happy to say).

It is relatable

@Tim Yes, everyone can relate to starving to death. Unfortunately it's an everyday occurrence here in India, virus or not.

Along with lots of other horrible things.

@Tim That was because the number of deaths in nursing homes had not been added to the total before then. See reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-france-toll/…

I was looking at new cases: +23,060 yesterday

I am not sure which populations in France are the most vulnerable right now. migrants?

@Tim To infection? Yes, possibly migrants, or any one in a low-income, low-social status, situation, like everywhere (EDIT: and the ignorant/stupid). The most vulnerable, as in in risk of dying, are the elderly and sick, regardless of who they are.

Hi @Kusalananda. How are you doing?

I have heard that Sweden has been relatively relaxed on the virus compared to neighboring countries

and is still closely monitoring

Hope it work out. @Kusalananda

@FaheemMitha I'm doing just fine, thanks for asking. And you?

@Kusalananda Could be better. Fairly stressed. I feel like the frog in the saucepan when the oil isn't quite hot enough yet.

@Tim The government has no power to order a full-blown lock-down, as far as I understand. The current strategy here relies on people following guidelines. It might well change in the coming weeks.

Our numbers are looking kind of ominous.

@FaheemMitha I'm not really that surprised, unfortunately. India is a very densely populated place...

@Kusalananda Exactly.

In other news, I hear that Trump is very concerned about his re-election.

It's nice when people have their priorities straight.
