The tragic story of couple who going to get married soon but killing virus what did ……

Y fiancée lives in Romania and that we were visiting hook up within a few weeks.

Look how I’ve emphasized the “were”!

Yesterday, the Govt. of India banned all passengers, Indian citizens, or not, flying in from EU member states until March 31st, after which they'd reassess and for those transiting through any of the Gulf States, there’s a compulsory 14 day quarantine the instant you land in India.

While I’ve got a choice of flying via Nairobi, capital of Ethiopia, Mauritius, or Seychelles, she has no choice but to locomote Qatar or Emirates because those are the sole carriers that connect Romania with India.

The way things are going, my wedding’s not visiting happen!

“Out of all the items I’d considered,” my fiancée groaned the opposite day, “I never realized a fucking virus would come and fuck shit up like this.”

“Whoa, whoa, whoa, booboo!” I interjected. “That’s lots of “fucks” in one sentence. We’re during this together, Hun!”

My fiancée never really uses the f-word. If she does use it, even only once, meaning shit’s pretty bad; and here she’s used it repeatedly. It reasonably tells you ways tousled things are.

A fucking virus! Who’d have thought?

My fiancé can’t come and accept me in the African country and neither am I able to go there. Both people really need to be with one another through this crisis, but there’s no way we are able to do this.

Last night she was crying thanks to this the physical distance between us and it made me sick to my bones.

There are as of now, 246 cases in Romania (which is unquestionably on the rise) and most of them are in Bucharest, where she lives and it’s terrible. I actually wish I used to be there, but there’s little I can do.

That sucks.

Our university here in African the country is on lockdown, as are most academic institutes across the country. They’ve given the undergrads and postgrads five days to stop working their stuff and vacate the campus.

No one without a legitimate ID is allowed into campus from outside.

Even for those with valid ID’s, the movement outside campus is restricted to twice per week.

New employees who have arrived from overseas within the last two days need to be during a mandatory 15 day quarantine and would be allowed on campus at the moment on condition that a negative test report is provided.

Our department asked us if we had enough data to figure from home. Not really, I wrote within the feedback form! This was so strict a routine might be discovered for Ph.D. students who had pending lab work.

Only time-sensitive pending experiments are allowed without delay and that they have to be completed by next Monday.

But I’m performing from home. Been doing this since last December, to be honest! Ssssshh! nobody has to know!


I’m working really hard. like really, really, hard!


Oops! Wrong window!

Now, we’re international students/staff and that we have an issue. they require everyone to depart and that they haven’t decided what to try to to with the international students and staff. lots of people can’t go back because our borders are closed. They don’t want us on campus and I’m unsure what they’re progressing to do. We’ll get to grasp during a day or two what our status is.

An all-expense-paid trip to Mauritius, perhaps!

South Africa has, as of last evening (18th March 2020), 85 confirmed cases, which was a rise in 23 from the previous night. However, I board Bloemfontein and that I don’t see any reasonable panic here. Yes, there isn’t anyone who has tested positive from my province, but no one’s taking any chances.

While pharmacies have run out of hand sanitizer, there doesn’t seem to be a shortage in toilet tissue. People aren’t hoarding toilet tissue yet.

Apparently, the apocalypse hasn’t hit SA the way it’s hit the U.S.

Food and groceries are still available. I just visited the mall yesterday to shop for me some vitamin supplements, cereal, and wine and there didn’t seem to be any reasonably panic anywhere. The vegetable alleys were well stocked and seemed like this.


The dairy, meat, cereal, and everyone's other section were also well stocked and nobody was acting as if the top was nigh. Yes, the stress was palpable, but nobody was losing their shit. We calmly bought what we wanted to shop for and headed back.

It’s very heartening to determine the discipline people maintain sometimes of crises. In fact, we’re all worried about the virus. It hasn’t hit our province yet and everybody wants to stay it that way. From hand sanitizers at obscure places in malls and buildings to frequent disinfection drives, everyone’s doing their best to stay the virus out.

When all this is often occurring, you don’t want to feature the issues by hoarding toilet tissue. At the Pick n Pay supermarket near my place, I saw an indication like this:


For now, most people international staff and students are indoors and are maintaining strict social distancing.

Cinemas, pubs, bars, and gymnasiums have all shut.

Malls are still open, yet only partially to permit grocery stores, pharmacies, and restaurants to work.

What else?

All medical insurance companies have vowed to produce complete medical care to their customers who’ve tested positive and supply free testing for those with symptoms.

Oh, did I mention that I’ve got a small cough and a small runny nose?!! I got wet within the rain the opposite day. It’s not the virus, coz I’ve been practicing social isolation since before the thing became a thing!
