There are random police checkpoints on random roads in the UK where they are asking where you're going, who you're with etc, exploring is simply not on the cards for anyone here at the moment being in a lockdown situation.
Everyone, even in the states, should be avoiding unnecessary journeys and exploring is unnecessary right now, it's not even to do with the limited exposure you might have with other people. It's do to with if you end up having an accident on the way there or back or, to be specific to exploring, end up falling through a floor or otherwise injuring yourself badly enough to need hospital treatment you will wind up in the one place you do not want to be anywhere near right now - an over-stretched hospital running close to capacity full of people sick from a crazily transmissible virus.

The whole capital area of Finland is not allowed to leave and is in "soft lockdown". Since I lost my job over this, I thought I'd at least get some time to explore, but now that's taken away, too.

Stay safe, stay indoors, it's not worth the risk.
The main corridor I travel on the weekends is Rt. 21. You're probably familiar with it mooks, we've gone up and down it many times together. I've been on in 3 times this weekend already and I've seen 4 cars totalled from spinning out and getting thrown between the concrete walls of the roadway. All one car incidents. I took the parkway home instead, I hope for all those folks sake they had a reason to be on the road because they all looked like they needed a hospital bed.

I lived in Clifton circa 1992, so I'm familiar with 21.
More than once, I've had my car spin-out on 21. I don't know what it is with that road, but I've experienced that several times on 21 and yet nowhere else.

Concrete, right? It gets worn down with concave tracks and polished over the decades. Even dry it can be treacherous if you come out of those ruts too abruptly or erratically. Wet, much worse. If you look carefully they are visible... It needs to have be ground down and have grooves cut into it 202 in PA had the the issues on some of it's stretches.

Well two of my family friends have suspected Covid-19, they have the symptoms but as is the case in the UK you only currently get tested if you end up being hospitalised or are a healthcare worker.
My dad last saw one of them almost three weeks back so hopefully he's in the clear, he'd have started showing some sort of symptoms by now if he'd been infected.

I'm not sure if it's COVID-19 related or WWIII is about to kick-off, but for what it's worth, Russia just fell off the internet.
I was reading Vesti and a the links stopped working. I tried a few other sites in Russia including VK and the Kremlin's public information site and everything is timing out.
No problems reaching sites in the Middle East or elsewhere in Eastern Europe like Ukraine and Poland.
TSA, they just keep giving... lol, couldn't find the link in that story that lists the airports. Thought that was the point of it? Guess Mickey Mouse was editing again at Disney Fox.
•Take deep breaths every hour. •Do not exert yourself at all throughout the course of the illness; conserve energy. Exertion it seems can trigger a respiratory episode. •Be aware if you start wheezing at all; first sign of pneumonia. Slap your rib cage hard when coughing with an open palm to try to break up the phlegm as soon as any wheezing starts. Continue doing it if it helps. •When sleeping or lying in bed if putting a pillow under your chest (raise chest above head) helps to reduce the coughing, do so. It may help you to survive. •Avoid any known allergens. •Absolutely NO NSAIDs. •Drink water and do not over eat.
If this or any flu starts to turn bad on know it will be a brutal battle for the next few days or longer to survive. Stay chilly and fight; survival is earned.

The Great Chinese Lie China can not be trusted with anything. This story is still in it's infancy but as the death they unleashed spreads across the world, those stats will prove with bodies how huge the Chinese lie is. China's coronavirus body count is so high they don't even know what the actual number is. https://www.foxnew...-china-dont-add-up
