Thanks for creating this important topic, dear! 🙌
Situation in Bulgaria - whole country is under state of emergency since last Friday, the elderly are instructed by the government to stay at home and quit all unnecessary contacts with outside world, we have full blockade for entire town for the first time in our recent history (Bansko, popul. 10,000, famous ski resort) and we are just a step ahead from full blockade in the next 48 to 72 hours. As you can see, rather drastic, even draconian measures but the results are more than efficient with Bulgaria having only 115 confirmed COVID-19 cases 12 days after registering the first positive test. We are being told by the officials that the burst of the pandemic is inevitable and coming up within the next 10 days tops despite all steps and measures but it is expected to be nowhere close to the tragedy that's happening in Italy.
In the name of all fairness, the government, which I truly believed to be totally incompetent and inefficient three years in their 4-years term, is acting with an unprecedented speed and firmness which is totally unusual situation for our geographic latitudes . Almost 80% of the nation supports their efforts which is again unprecedented in our recent history.
The only positive news though is that I've never seen our nation so united! We had hundreds of retired doctors and nurses volunteered to get back to work and help in hospitals in the first 72 hours after the first registered positive test! We have thousands of your people volunteering on a regular basis to take care for elders in the big cities (buying food, medicament, etc)! For the first time in my 42 years I can see the majority of my fellow countrymen following and executing strictly all government instructions against COVID-19 spread! Unbelievable indeed and truly encouraging to be honest!
As our beloved Sharon mentioned in her post, the entire AG crew remain at your services under 'business as usual' mode until further notice. Don't worry, we are working from home and yes, we follow strictly all anti-COVID19 instructions.
Stay safe, take care and hey, don't forget the human kind survived rather successfully far more dangerous threats. 😷
So guys, the entire world is pretty much being affected by Covid-19 and since we are all friends here I think it is just as important that we all look out for each other too!
Yes we are a gambling forum but I want every single one of you to know, that there will always be someone here for you to talk to over the coming weeks and months that bring uncertain times for all of us.
Some of us have been friends here for years, some of us are newer friends but that makes no difference. Let's all check in to this topic every day so we know each other are safe. We are all in this together and there wll be light at the end of the tunnel.
Just a quick update on where I am -
So shcools are closed here in the UK. We're not on lockdown but we have been told to socially distance ourselves. This means we shouldn't attend playgroups, shouldn't meet with friends, no after school classes. We've been advised to stay away from bars, clubs and restaurants although that is not mandatory yet. Explaining to my young chldren why they can't leave the house now is hearbreaking to say the least, but we will do whatever it takes to stay safe.
Please share your story guys. I know the UK is heading for stricter guidelines like other countries right now and it would be great to see how the world are the handling it differenty.
Also, I'm concerned we haven't heard of @pinnit2015 for a while. Anyone spoke to gim over the last few days?
And just to let everyone know, it is business as usual for me and Valdes. As long as we we are both fit and well we wil bel here in the forum every day for you.
