Coronavirus in Poland

Economies of scale; it makes sense.

Again quite a few things empty from the supermarket, however less panic buying than before. Presumably a lot of people have reached peak pasta...

Funny thing seems like they just emptied the shelves of all types of milk fresh, UHT in Bea drunkard (Biedronka) today.

Looks like it's just gone to the next stage. Shopping malls (except for access to food shops, laundries and chemists), pubs, cafes restaurants etc closed, and much stronger controls at the borders.

Same in ours; though fresh had all vanished.

Wal-mart is going to let the government set up facilities in their parking lots so you can just drive thru and get tested from your car.


That is true even without the Chinavirus.

I have just come home. We have been to two hypermarkets and spent our record on weekly shopping - double of usual sum. We bought all we need although fresh chicken was unavailable, even liver or hearts. Also, ginger was out of stock everywhere - I even went to our local supermarket but to no avail. Amazing - do people believe it is good for the virus?

The rumours about total closure on Monday are slowly becoming reality. Also, they say there are already dozens of deaths in hospitals in big cities but the info is withheld by medical staff to avoid panic.

Shyt. Translated as: ja pierdolę, ale się porobiło.

"Polish citizens returning from abroad will go to quarantine for 14 days. However, we cannot allow foreigners to enter the country."

Announced 7:30 pm, fantastic

Does anyone have more information about what's going on?

How can flights all be cancelled and foreigners leave/ Poles get back home?

Is the country simply going to shut down?

Foreigners don`t have to leave. They are barred to come in.
Poles can come back on specially arranged charter flights.
However, Polish Airlines, LOT, has suspended all its regular flights as the first airline in Europe.
Yes, there will be a shut down. It will cost us billions but saving life is more important.

Well....they could be infected too? What is the difference between foreigners and Poles coming from a foreign country?

Dolno already explained it. You can`t isolate a foreigner as easily as a Pole. :)

You're WRONG as usual.

It's totally ON topic.

You conveniently forget that you and your expat cohorts have spent an entire decade chronically lying and defaming Poland on here.

Over and over and over again all posters ever saw come out of you lot is "Poland didn't do enough to help the Jews!; Poland is responsible for the Holocaust!; Poland hasn't compensated the Jews!" And on and on and on! Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah!

It didn't matter that Poland went far beyond than any other nation to allow Jews to reside in Poland for centuries. It didn't matter that Poland was devastated by wars and serial occupations by foreign powers. Nope! Reality was always a far too inconvenient truth that got in the way of your anti-Polish narrative.

Very well then. Poland and the rest of the world are now facing a very devastating situation with the coronavirus (thanks directly to the likes of you and your globalist, open-borders cheer leading).

Tough choices will now need to be made.

What if negligent neighboring Germany sees 60 - 70% of its population infected by the coronavirus like mad cow Merkel recently admitted would be the case? This could easily and rapidly cause Poland's population to be infected and at equally high rates.

Tens of millions of Poland would be sick and dying. The economy would go into a depression. Heath and emergency services would collapse. Government coffers would quickly begin to dry up.

Let's say a mass grave costs €250,000 for 100 corpses. If a community has 90 Poles and 10 Jews who died from the coronavirus are you prepared to say that another €250,000 will need to be found to cater to just 10 members from one special interest group?

Let's say another €250,000 could be found and an antidote was also developed in time. This other €250,000 could either go towards burying 10 bodies from one self-regarding special interest group or the same amount of money could be spent on 1,000,000 vials of the antidote and save 1,000,000 precious Polish lives.

What decision would you make?

Well, we already know the answer to that. Some of us do remember it was you who only a few years ago called for tens of thousands of Radio Maryja listeners to be be executed on an annual basis.

And when Trump announced the same thing days ago the E.U. got all pissy about it.
American's will be exempt from the ban and be allowed to return from the E.U. but will be quarantined for 14 days.
That means Cargo Pants can come back home from Poland.
Just got home from the market.
No t.p., no bread, no frozen vegetables or frozen fruits and no frozen pizza's.
Lots of fresh fruits, vegetables and meats.
I think people know that the lock down is coming soon.
Five States have activated their National Guard with 47 dead with Trump declaring a National Emergency.
Speculation is an eight week mandatory quarantine will be coming soon.
Eight States have closed their schools and all major league and high school sports have been cancelled.
Thank God Trump is in charge and not Dementia Joe.

He would declare national emergency for Canada.

Hmmm, what should we think of it????


Hey, you just hit the nail on the head! :):):)

PS. This is covid-19 in Poland, not Pol-Jew thread, if you haven`t noticed.

Go back and read my post. It's increasingly likely such decisions will need to be made. How would you carve the turkey?

I did. And I found this:


Which is still completely irrelevant in this thread.

Just like this one:


Oops, you are an utter nuts case. :):):)

How so apart from you preferring to burying your head in the sand and not wanting to answer it?

I'm the teacher today and you are the student. Answer the question or you get an automatic failure. :)

I don`t care if I get a repeating, semi- automatic or fully-automatic failure from you. You are just a fake social bot existence, not a true entity. :):):)

Of course you do. And you should know that it is very entertaining watching you self-censor! :)

But that's OK. I understand. After all, you were born and raised in the PRL heyday. :)

So let's bring things back down - way down - to a level you are comfortable with.

Tell us how bad you feel that your local supermarket was recently out of your favorite pot of yogurt. Damn that coronavirus, eh? :) How long do you think it will take you to recover from this trauma?

I feel very bad coz I can`t recreate the famous scene from certain film (which I do regularly, usually on Friday evening/night). Do you know which film? :):)

Foreigner and Border lockdown is racist and xenophobic but we have come to expect this from PiS dictators. it is discrimination to favour poles over foreigners and is forbbiden by United Nations conventions and EU law. As Macron and Merkel rightly point out , the virus does not have a passport and does not know borders. Open Borders Now!

FO a-hole! Whether you trolling or not.

Corona in Berlin Heh:)

Corona bringing even positive changes.

I just don't understand all of these measures - shutting pubs and malls fine - we can live without it for a few weeks and I already lost a kilo through eating better.

Shutting the airport and the borders - not so sure as then it will break supply chains.

The collateral damage will be huge - closed factories and failed businesses can generate health issues and social issues for years to come.

Seems to me there is some macho thing about just shut what you can rather than invest in the medical issues.

Only logic I can see is if they are trying to slow it enough to start producing the masks, equipping the hospitals and training staff.

Anyway stay safe everyone :)

Don`t say that. Some states will be shut. Even some vaginas and anuses.

God thinks of us mere mortals. This is time of shutting. Stay in your houses, be loyal to your house and live. Corona is nothing but multiplied AIDS effect.

That is the result of PiS` rule since 2015. Medical care is in deplorable state. The article below explains that PiS are shutting everything down coz it is the only thing they are able to do now. The more time passes, the more we`ll see how Poland is unprepared. Thank you , PiS.

wiadomosci.onet.pl/opinie/bierzynski-nie-epidemia-ale-wywolana-epidemia-panika-moze-zmiesc-wladze-pis-opinia/8zjq7d6

That's the strategy, slow growth enough so that the healthcare system isn't overwhelmed (as in Italy). The idea is to ride out the first wave with as low numbers as possible and hopefully get better prepared for the second wave....

That has a kind of logic but counter is that it will need money to fix and with such a huge amount of the govt income coming from VAT then restricting activity is going to cause a big cash problem.

Just been out in the car and saw some weird scenes from the 80s - queues in the cold outside butchers and drugstores, mainly old people.

Not sure what the next thing to be banned will be - Facebook for spreading panic LOL !

Sooner or later, the next big thing banned will be PiS and their rule in Poland.
