It's my Birthday and I'll cry if I want to!

Welcome to this yearly post of events happening in the world aaaaand this time it's all about Coronavirus! BOOOOOO! which means I am sitting at home (should be in Japan), drinking a bottle of Asti I found in the cupboard and eating a takeaway from Backyard BBQ and cakes from Ridiculously Rich by Alana

As of today 5pm press conference by Boris Johnson (daily occurence as of this week) all of the restaurants/pubs/cinemas/gyms/leisure centres etc are to shut their doors for unknown time. They are still allowed to provide deliveries and takeaways though. Also the government announced that they will pay all of those workers 80% of their wages. (meanwhile shop workers still have to go to work and risk getting infected with covid-19 with no extra pay). All schools are closed as well. All sports events are cancelled most possibly even the Olympic Games in Tokyo in the summer.

Italy is in FULL lockdown for about a week now. Reports are saying that the canals in Venice have crystal clear water, fish and swans have returned and even Dolphins!

China has reported that the spread of the disease is drastically slowing down their, no new cases reported and the special hospitals are being demolished.

There's a lot of people stuck in foreign countries and special flights and ferries are being put on for repatriation. Apparently there are a bunch of Baltic citizens stuck on the border of Poland as they won't let them in to drive home.  Most countries have closed their borders completely. 

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle quit being Royals and moved to Canada. (a short while ago not today). 

All exams have been cancelled. 

Yeap so it's all about Covid-19 at the moment. Expecting UK to go into full lockdown soon as well...
