Probably mattresses and pillows.

Cases are starting to ramp up. Heard people say the curve is flattening. Didn't know flattening meant up and up.

Russia & Putin are now facing the problem:

phase 1, early march, "nothing is happening in Russia, this is from the outside"
phase 2, end march, "we are still standing while the world is falling"
phase 3, yesterday, "76/80 of provinces will be hit by the virus."

3 times more sick people in a week.

Putin is sorry for again leading the Russian people into disaster.

Heard curve is flattening there too.

The expert also said that Putin usual discourse, based on "we are the Russian Bear, we will resist" is not convincing well against this new, unstoppable invader, enemy.

ah yes, the netherlands - one of the mediterranean nations that famously insists on 'corona bonds'.
also, pretty sure that at least some of the italian patients were taken in pretty early into the crisis, long before shared debt even became an issue.

speaking of PR moves though:

Germany is the leader and by far the largest country of the fiscally conservative bloc. You know very well that eurobonds/coronabonds would become inevitable if Germany supports them, no matter what the NL/Austria/Finland are saying.



Spanish and Italian politicians were already calling for "European solidarity" and such in mid-March, see for example (last paragraph):

By the 26th of March, the debate about coronabonds was already in full swing:

Meanwhile, the first Italian patients were flown into Germany on March 25:

that still doesn't make them a mediterranean country, and that still debunks your idiotic claim that it's just a PR move to appease countries who want corona bonds. the netherlands are undeniably against it - and i bet that's why you tried to move the goal post there.

man forced to apologize for visiting his father, who he lives next door to, which was some sort of violation of the new world order to stay inside until we get to the point that no one gets sick ever again (or something like that)
