Coronavirus Information & Support (Not Political)

4 years ago

Since the other coronavirus discussions on the forum have turned political, this new thread is intended for non-political posts about coronavirus on topics such as hospitals and other testing locations, business and school closures, locked down areas, travel restrictions, where to get food, medications and other necessities, etc... Please also use this thread as a place to support one another in these uncertain and stressful times. There are expats on this forum (many of whom read and don't post) who are living alone and very far from family. A few kind words can make a difference in someone's day. If you want to debate the politics of how the situation is being handled in your country and other countries, keep that on the other thread.

I lived in NYC on 9/11 and remember with humbling clarity how New Yorkers and Americans came together at that time. That event changed me forever and thinking of it always bring tears to my eyes, but the kindness of strangers is what I remember most. When you look back at this time one day, you will remember the kindness of strangers. Please be kind.

Please respect the following guidelines to ensure that this thread relates to the current crisis and is as helpful as possible:

Provide relevant information that is helpful to one another. Avoid digressing to topics not related to the coronavirus outbreak.

Personal attacks and aggressive fact checking do not help anyone at this time. Politely disagreeing to try to correct information you think is incorrect is obviously acceptable.

Absolutely cheer each other on and provide the level of encouragement all of us will need to get through this difficult time.

Please continue to share information that only expats on the ground in your area can know. This is vital. To that end, we have also created an expat coronavirus report that will help expats relay what they are seeing and make relevant recommendations.
