Labskaus, like haggis, sounds absurdly disgusting as a concept but it's actually perfectly good, so I'm sure the Scots could relate. I'm just not sure how well it would keep. If I was in Hamburg I'd go for Franzbrötchen over Labskaus. Can't do wrong with really good bread either, no matter where you are. Look for the most hipster artisan bakery you can find. Go on youtube and check out some of those "[nationality X] try German snacks" videos and bring whatever people from the UK, or Scotland specifically, got most excited about across a few videos. I'm very jealous of you going to Scotland by the way. That was my holiday plan for before Easter. I mean I'm sure I could make my way if I really really wanted to, just doesn't seem like a great idea, for Reasons.

Local Rewe: again (still?) completely out of bread Next Rewe over: four packs of bread à 250 g (that's 5 slices). I buy one, so as not to hoard. Who hoards bread anyway? Aldi in between: a comparative cornucopia of Backwaren. I buy 500 g of bread and toast each. I see multiple people hoarding bread. And as the new owner of 750 g of bread, has the abyss not begun gazing back? I should probably just accept a breadless future, because these three store visits felt incredibly reckless. Oh, the Aldi had a handwritten cardboard sign at the entrance saying "Hier KEIN Toilettenpapier!". Felt very post-apocalyptic

that's an excessively unhelpful comparison unless i missed something beyond "look, not everyone is dead yet!" (edit: Ah, okay I guess) today i found out the reason the local Rewe is understocked: it's the Baustelle that started Monday and is making the Zulieferer have to divert through a Wohngebiet where idiots are parking in the streets, blocking the LKWs. wonderful timing Zwille fucked around with this message at 09:59 on Mar 19, 2020 |

Have to say, Smirr's posts are always a highlight of this thread. I like your dry humor, please keep posting  Local Edeka was stocked apart from Nudeln and Klopapier, of course. They had a helpful flyer that they're constantly restocking, and that there's no reason to panic if something is not available. And that it helps nobody if people keep posting pics of their empty shelves on the net.

FWIW the university also quietly put up a new subpage on their coronavirus pages re: getting a Beschäftigungsausweis in case of potentially upcoming Ausgangssperren, some time within the last 24 hours. Which made me chuckle a little, because 100% of the scientific staff can touch computers perfectly fine at home, and the only people who may possibly have to be physically present in the actual buildings are the janitorial staff and Objektschutz and the like, i.e. yet another instance where the working class gets doubly hosed - first by being the hoi polloi in the beforetimes, second by suddenly finding themselves to actually be the only truly essential staff, and having to venture into Coronaworld as a thanks. Anyway, full communism now

Nektu posted:Well, thats because Corona and the plague are not comparable at all. Iirc the lethality rate back then was something like 40% or 50% (yes, hiroshima and nagasaki were not completely destroyed either). Because we can keep old people from dying with the help of complicated and expensive machines and medicine. Otherwise we'd look at most of the 15-20 % who have to be admitted to the hospital as the mortality rate - if it had hit in the 1950 it would be that (but it wouldn't have spread as well either).

Not an expert, but I don't think any kind of management ghoul can legally keep you from seeing a doctor or force you to disclose that you have been. This isn't America(yet)

People in Berlin are doing gently caress all social distancing. Since restaurants (aka bars, cafes) are still open, everyone who was born by a mother loving sits outside in the sun and drinks white wine like nothing it happening. Especially the French/Spanish/Italian expats and the loving Schwaben as well. And old Germans are apparently immune because they don't even let me keep distance at Aldi, even when I try. gently caress this, we need draconian Ausgangsperren right now.

Welp, I'm homeofficed. Don't know how to feel. Not dying is good, but being locked in inside for >8 hour all day is suboptimal. In conclusion, Corona is a land of contrasts.

Haramstufe Rot posted:I mean all of our politicans are far too afraid to make a decision I think we're inching towards it. In most places it will have been a week since the announcement of school closures tomorrow, which really should have communicated to everyone that this is serious, and if the curve doesn't flatten out substantially on the weekend (it won't), we'll probably see a federal cascade into Ausgangssperren. I mean, Bavaria already explicitly put them on the table. The police in Köln have also already started breaking up public gatherings yesterday and today (on probably very shaky legal grounds, but...). e: federal as in "föderalistisch", not as in "cheese it, the feds"
