Lockdown starts in Austria tomorrow, with a curfew from 8pm to 6am.
In Vienna this evening, there has been a possible Terrorist attack, shooting & killing 1 & injuring at least 15. 6 different crime scenes are being investigated.
Speculation is, of course rife, but the timing, on the last evening where many were out & about, is suspicious.

Am I the only person who refuses to indulge in the word “lockdown”? We’re not in a prison; we’re keeping quarantine, or isolating, not being confined to our cells.
Sorry, that is how it was announced, as ‘Verstaerkte Massnahmen’ doesn’t trip quite so easily orff the tongue.
Another friend called it ‘Lockdown mit Ausgangsperre’ this morning.
I agree that the word doesn’t describe the actuality

Under house arrest, with govt-sanctioned exceptions?
I don’t know much about genomics, PCR testing, or the covid-19 genome, but I do know this is true…

Be good if it could tell us why we’re here though.
('scuse fingers, but I know there are people who don’t want to talk about this in other threads)
Well I did wonder but then again, my post was nowt to do with the virus really. Hey ho.
Cellarites can relax…
But I also have a fatty coating: must I therefore avoid alcool?
Asks a Cellarite aspiring to positively newt-like levels of relaxation.
He just suggests it will make you ‘susceptible’ to alcohol. I think we already knew that.
I am happy to try to explore the susceptibility my fatty coating gives me
The Bull is muttering about Aussie science
Is that like Aussie philosophy?
Mind if I call you Bruce?
On one condition…
I’m in charge of the sheep dip?
Scottish whisky???
Joe I am so disappointed in your lack of support for our whiskEy
I don’t think we have one called “Sheep Dip”? (Not over-fond of blended Scotch, TBH - a smoky Islay malt would be my choice)
On the subject of whiskey, though, Aldi’s “Clontarf” is worth trying - a very nice tipple
Why are we discussing whisk(e)y as a Viral DOOM?
Anti sceptic properties of the liquid?
