In New Zealand, as of Today, we are at 8 confirmed cases, and are shutting down the boarders for some people coming in and imposing 14 day self-isolation. Cheers Andrew.

Good call, here in Canada 80% of the confirmed cases are from people coming into Canada who then infect 10% more and the remaining 10% are community.

Last week things moved quickly here in The Netherlands. The government imposed regulations to minimise social contact, just this weekend they were made stricter: bars, restaurants, movie theatres, schools, churches, sport clubs - you name it - are now to be closed down. People are supposed to work from home as much as possible. The plan is to slow down the spread of the virus so the medical system can treat the patients.

For reliable info on the situation in the Netherlands, see https://www.government.nl/topics/coronavirus-covid-19

Let's keep it factual on here, please.

Our big two day gunshow was just cancelled that was next week and a display i was going to set up at the local service battalion for operation Faust, was cancelled 6 weeks in advance. But still 6 flights a day from China arriving locally and even health proffesionals arriving on those flights are shocked that there was no screening at the arrivals or customs. oh and there is no toilet paper to be found even though the plant that produces about 20% of north american supply is right here. Went for a drive in the CMP and checked up on club members and their projects. Fun day.

Pretty sure my shed is Coronavirus free.
So to do my bit I will tell the missus I am self isolating in the shed for the next two weeks.
Should get The Tilly finished.

Hi Jack,
After this past week, some people now have the Corowavirus, with an attraction to green (or sand) coloured vehicles.

A nice job on the Ford ute, well done.

Has there been any discussion if the V-E celebrations and parades in May will be happening or cancelled?

Hi All

I'm so glad that the MLU community can maintain its sense of humor and logic on this topic. Just email my kids that I was doing my bit to self isolate by planning to spend my time in the shop.

Not effecting wife and I as much as our grown children and their children. Son and his wife and our daughter are all teachers. Son is a university philosophy professor who was already teaching parts of his classes online.

Barbara his wife teaches at a private school which has a large number of foreign students, none of which have traveled in more than 8 weeks. Have not heard yet how they are going isolate students who live on campus from the teachers who don't.

Our daughter who teaches high school physics in one school district while her children are in a different district. All had different closures until this weekend when all the schools closed. Her husband is basically the only one who worked from home anyway, he was a web design company.

But for now all is well.

Cheers Phil
