If anyone is wondering, moving in to a new flat is an extremely fun and stressless activity these days, I'm very glad that we're doing it right now and not, say, a month ago!

SavageGentleman posted:Just had a look at the official info on who can get tested on Covid in Germany. Sounds like for now the testing range is rather limited, because you can only get tested if you show significant symptoms AND That's highly probable. Italy probably has a lot more than 40k infected, too. (And don't get me started on the Chinese numbers) The tests serve a purpose in our campaign against the virus and accurate statistics isn't very high on the list. If your test comes up as negative nobody is any smarter for it as you could infect yourself a day later. If your test comes up as positive you (and probably your family) can be sent into quarantine - thereby slowing the infection rate - and are immune to it in the future, reducing the commplexit of the situation. That's why they aim at getting as many "confirmations" instead of trying to measure the Durchseuchung. AFAIK, they have/had some procedure where 1% of the tests are run on random people without any indication to get a feeling for the Durchseuchung. Your physician can have you tested if it is "medizinisch indiziert" regardless of a) and b), but that ia obviously willkürlich. Or if you want to shell out ze money, you can have it done for ~150€. They can conduct 160.000 tests a week atm, so to have all of Germany tested at this rate would take 10 years. Iceland would be tested in less than three weeks at this rate.

Do you at least have furniture and stuff ready? Because a friend of mine hasn't and is now moving and has no idea where to buy stuff when stuff selling places are closed and you are supposed not to eat outside thrice a day.

7am supermarket experience today: place was quite a bit more crowded than usual, with a nearly-full parking lot a few minutes before they opened. Had the unique experience of seeing all of the boomers and elderlies clustered basically shoulder-to-shoulder next to the entrance, bitching about there not being any football and how all of this is overblown, while the under-40s had an entirely separate group about 20 meters away, each dligently maintaining a distance of 3-4 meters from the next, looking at the boomers and thinking "jesus christ the entire generation is really a deathcult isn't it"

Though according to the surveys it's mainly male millenials acting stupidly, not boomers. https://www.n-tv.de/politik/Wie-sehr-bewegt-die-Corona-Krise-das-Land-article21658109.html https://www.faz.net/aktuell/wirtschaft/coronavirus-laut-umfragen-schraenken-sich-junge-maenner-nicht-ein-16688084.html

Just had a Feuerwehr Lautsprecherwagen roll through my neighborhood, blasting the Ausgangssperre warning. "Zuwiderhandlungen werden hart bestraft." Bit surreal, to be quite honest.

Ikea delivers small things (including small furniture packages like nightstands) via DHL and large things via logistic partners like Rhenus, where you have to schedule a slot over the phone with them. The latter might be tricky depending on how much worse it gets before it gets better. In normal times, you can game their system if you are too lazy to schlepp a bunch of small but heavy packages from the nearest DHL Packstation. Just order one of these fellows, so you have a light-weight but big package forcing them to use a Spediteur.

Thankfully the flat comes with a kitchen and the fridge is scheduled to be delivered this afternoon. Delivery seems to work pretty well as of right now so your friend could just order everything from IKEA or wherever he wants to buy furniture from. The main uncertainty is the actual moving of our own furniture and boxes on monday because if there's an Ausgangssperre we might have to carry everything down four stories to the transporter and then into the new flat on our own.

Honj Steak posted:Following the common rules really helps limit the chances of infection significantly ALSO, if you can, wear some kind of mask. You can't know if you're infected and wearing a mask reduces the spread you cause. Hong Kong has been doing this anyways on account of it being a protest statement since last June, and with discipline they completely loving cratered the incidence of all infections diseases, including entirely cancelling the flu season. They have 7 million people, about half of netherlands, in a tight space, but only 10% of the COVID-19 infections. Honj Steak posted:If you want to be extra safe you can shower and change your clothes every time you enter the home, but I’m not sure how effective that actually is.

I can confirm that testing is poo poo here in Germany, at least in my city. A work colleague of mine got sick on Wednesday of the week before, got tested on last Friday, and only got results six days later. I got signalled as a risk person. As of today (Saturday), ten days after last contact with him, I haven't been contacted by the Gesundheitsamt yet. I guess they will call me after the weekend, by the end of my (obviously self-imposed) quarantine, that's very useful. In the meantime at least one other colleague that belongs to the same social/work circles has started showing symptoms but the authorities refuse to test him because they weren't specified as direct contacts. Good luck in detecting a whole set of infections if you limit yourself to two stupid rules. Maybe it's a way to keep the numbers down  Edit: fortunately everybody was anyway teleworking already starting from last week AndreTheGiantBoned fucked around with this message at 14:38 on Mar 21, 2020 |

They are now testing only high priority cases, I think. No idea how priorities work. Edit: Also many other countries in Europe are likely testing even less.

elbkaida posted:There is simply a limited lab capacity and a massive backlog. They are now testing only high priority cases, I think. No idea how priorities work. The point is, COVID-19 doesn't need a loving test to be diagnosable if any symptoms are present. There's a 4 hour symptoms-based test battery (including lung CT with mobile units) that the chinese use in order to detect high probability infected even with very low symptoms. The long and expensive virus growing test is only needed to have 100% certainty and to detect it in non-symptomatic people. To not immediately isolate and run the symptoms test on people with low symptoms is unconscionable and completely unrelated to the capacity of laboratories. Not exactly the tanks i wanna see rolling down roads, but good enough. mike12345 posted:our neighbour gave us potatos "straight from the farm" the other day.
