good climate makes us to stay more on the street, bad climate makes people to generate an indoors culture

@Xaverius Sweden is a small country, with long distances just like all of the nordic countries. The numbers don't seem big because of it.

@Neglector They're about 6 bigger than us, though with the same population, so long distances might play a role.

We got... oh my, 39 dead

The wave's catching up

If you are from Czechia (hard to remember how you write just the Czech part of Czechoslovakia) I believe your government acted sooner? At least with the borders.

You write it Czech Republic

What yall are saying about Sweden is completely true. It's exactly that reason who almost all cases are in the capital and biggest city.

@Neglector Yeah, the Czech gov acted pretty quick

It seems countries are really experimenting with ways to go about doing things, and CZ seemed to work pretty well with practical measures early despite lack of medical infrastructure

First they shut the schools, started screening at the borders, then closed all non-essential stores (though you can still go to work), then basically closed the borders. then made everyone go outside with a mask

but they keep fuckin' extending the lockdown. They just extended it to April 8th and then the next day extneded it to the 11th. I really hope it ends soon, ,shit is driving me mad

I think measures here are actually a lot less strict than even places like the UK, it's just they acted earlier and raised the measures like everyday as it was getting worse

In Spain it just keeps extending also. Everyone is lookin forward the slow down of deaths and cases.

Good news is that we're near.

Also, do you expect any cultural change after this in western countries?

I mean, until now, when someone gets sick, putting on a mask is something usually only seen in east asia.

I sure hope facemasks become the new norm, should've been promoted for decades

But mostly I hope people start actually washing their hands after a bathroom visit

Most men admit to not washing their hands after going to the public bathroom, and a very sizeable minority of women as well

>going to a public bathroom <:disgusteng:595338918044500041>

when the need is dire ...

honestly tho, I sometimes use the men's room

they're usually tidier

cause you got the women who don't wanna sit on the seat, and they can't piss normally and make a mess

which is just domino effect, because now even fewer will sit, because it's covered in piss

IDK why women are tidy about everything other than the fucking public toilet

boggles the mind

Whenever I've had to use a public womens toilet they've allways been squeky clean.

compared to the mens room which has shit stains and piss all over it, or in some unfortunate cases a pool of urine on the floor... thank you drunktards

It's not a public bathroom unless it's missing a piece of the wall tiling

Or the wall itself.

Ironically, public bathrooms become very clean in no time when people have to pay for entry. It's almost as if capitalism solves problems.

you mean they use the money from the payment to pay for more regular cleaning?

Of course, that's how we did it in our big cities

There are still many dirty public bathrooms, but those tend to not be paid for by the visitors themselves

so the point is not 'capitalism' (wtf does that even mean here) , its spending more money on cleaning

No, the point is indeed capitalism

if they spent more money on more regual cleaning then they would be cleaner, wether that money comes from the users or the tax payers as a whole does not matter
