The whole world is worried about the spread of coronavirus.

We locked ourselves in the house feeling helpless. Computers keep us connected to the outside world and allow us to maintain our sanity

Analysts: Playing games is a safe place to avoid COVID-19 infection, according to the global government's call "Everyone refrain from going out to avoid infection".

You can go to the y87 ​​, Friv9​​ , kizi3 websites to find your favorite game and play to destroy the limited time during the outbreak.
In a locked world, the sense of helplessness can be overwhelming, but we can all use our computers to defeat the virus from the comfort of our homes.

This is fairly clearly an ad.  The 3 sites are all unsecure, so I recommend not playing or downloading anything from them.

If you'd like less interevention from a moderator, you really ought to be encouraging the other posters in this thread to stay on topic, as @btickler has a few posts ago.

Cheers,

The subject matter here is covid19, you are not helping us to maintain that, whether you realise it or not.

[and]

I am telling you !

There is no point in contacting Mr Canon, he has lied to me in the past about something he claimed to have done, specifically !

Upon checking, he had not. and just squirmed about it when I confronted him.

You know my view, either you act on it, or you do not...end of story !

Is everyone going bonkers these days?  Blocked.

I dont think its "bonkers"  Some people just cant control themselves, no matter how any times you explain things.

“I can assure you home isolation is not my preferred choice. I know it’s not yours. But, it’s a necessary one.”

No...but it was the correct choice.

Claws in, please happy.png.  Besides the fact that we're trying to stay on topic, it's poor form (and actionable if it goes too far) to attack someone on a thread they are blocked from posting in.

Itude is free to start his own thread after being blocked here.  I hope he won't go after any mods there.

I wonder if the WHO authorities will face a trial after this, or other kind of punishment for their disastrous managment of the pandemic.  At least, they should be sacked. Don´t you think so?

so tell us wut they've done wrong. and i mean this w/out emotion. idk where they've gone wrong tho idk enuf about all this either. thx !

WHO isn't really responsible for countries not taking actions or not taking actions quickly enough. The WHO actually upgraded the epidemic to pandemic quite quickly, and everyone saw what happened in China, countries are to blame for thinking they would get avoid the crisis or downplaying it, the WHO is not to blame.

Well, you have a reality TV star who is ignorant on literally every relevant subject saying WHO is terrible.

So it stands to reason that to have them convicted at a trial, you'd need judges who are totally ignorant of the law. Maybe if you had Kim Kardashian as the judge.

But literate educated people at the trail? No way, lol.

As a measure to curb and control the arrival of chinese nationals living in Russia coming back to the country through the region of Heilongjiang (Near north korea), rewards of 3000 yuan (400 euros) will be given to anyone reporting nationals coming back without authorization, it can be up to 5000 yuan (650 euros) If the person that illegaly crossed the border is directly brought to the police office.

This is a response to a new wave of infected people (mostly chinese nationals) that came back to the country through the russia-China border. Russia Yesterday reported 2500 new infections, and Putin said that the authorities should be prepared for the worst. There are about 100 000 chinese nationals Currently staying in Russia, so If the situation gets tougher in Russia, it is possible that China will be influenced as well.
