Life in Romania

The random ramblings of a UK expat living in Romania

Our village next?

@ 12:58 PM (42 months, 19 days ago)
It looks like the men in their space suits will be moving into our village next. The rumour was that we would go under quarantine today but someone I know checked with the vice-mayor and it seems that we will not be quarantined but they will start killing the chickens and adding disinfectant baths on the road exits from the village!

Flexible quarantine

@ 07:45 AM (42 months, 20 days ago)
Just a little story to show that these quarantines of whole towns and villages are really just a farce and political moves to be seen to be doing something. I have heard lots of stories of people being able to break the official cordons. One story was about a guy who drove in and out of a quarantined town the whole week it was closed off as when he reached the barrier he just drove on and no-body bothered to chase him. Someone else told me of someone who simply just left (and later re-entered) a sealed of area by walking through the woods!

Finally, I am no expert but spraying my car won't stop the mud or animal dung on my shoes or boots!
