Right know you could have a luxury room at the Canal Grande in Venice for about 80€, regular price before COVID19 was 253€.

Its a great time for long distance flights. Its easy to get a whole row to yourself, and sleep in comfort.

Or better yet - Discounted upper class! I absolutely love the premium cabins on the newer Airbus... A350 and A380 are my favorite metal birds. For the 10+ hour Asia flights it is mandatory ;)

A few schools have already been closed in France.
It is going to have a significant impact overall. For how long, I have no clue. I mostly work from "home" these days - but with some traveling. I have a lab at home. But no travel planned lately so far...
Speaking of masks, fun (if you can call it that) but absurd fact: there has been a hot topic very recently over here. Obviously masks are highly suggested as a means of protection, but at the same time, there's a law that forbids anyone to wear a mask in public areas (for dang security reasons as it hides your face). So no one really knows whether we can get out wearing one or not, but you're likely to get fined if you do, even though the ministry of health has told people to wear one at the slightest sign of cold/flu to protect others.
Even in China, AFAIK, they are allowed to wear masks even though mass surveillance is pervasive over there. So are we getting even more totalitarian than China is? Maybe. :palm:

I thought that the established belief was that the masks only reduce the infected from spreading the infection as wide, but don't really serve to protect the uninfected wearing one due to the various infection vectors?
I'm saving my N95 masks for drywall and masonry work |O
