Kind of weird. People in Czech Republic are pretty stoic. Looked at first glance that everybody was going through their day no problem.
But their actions belie their appearance. Granted, not much was sold out at the nearby convenience stores. When I went to the pharmacy, I saw some old lady grabbing a shitload of immune system boosting crap and a bunch of cold/flu meds. If she coughed, I was gonna run for the hills. I went to my normal cafe to grab some coffee beans and the owner’s look in her eyes were that of anxiety and panic.
Given the ban on events containing 30 people or more, it seems silly to go to a meeting of 60+ people at work. I’m not going regardless. Worst they’ll do is deduct some cash out of my paycheck and I’d be willing to sacrifice that.
Trump definitely seems like the type to: 1) hate getting tested, 2) not want to know if he has it so he can just continue to deny it to himself, and 3) to think it’s impossible he can actually get it because he is a perfect human being.
