In China, they would have been forcibly quarantined in a dedicated quarantine hotel. Which would be better than this de facto forced homelessness they're experiencing there in a more enlightened western culture.

Who is treating them in Amsterdam?

No idea. Trying to get them to download what's app to get more info.

Fuckin' hell.

On the homelessness! These people who kicked them out, did they have any advice about where they were to go??? And where did they go?

I see why the proprietors booted them -- sort of, it seems like they could have sequestered them somehow. It's not like the pandemic sprang into existence last week. But it still sucks.

I get it too, but at this stage I don't know how necessary it was.

Wow. Sorry to hear about your parents AL. Hope they test negative and get to come home soon.

[brenda]

As if being sick wasn't bad enough, the repeated hotel hopping they have to endure is just miserable.

Hoping they test negative soon and come home. What a trip.

They're not seeing a doc—some B.S. about insurance and int'l coverage (did they not check beforehand?). But yeah they're out of their antidepressants. Which, great.

Do they have any at home or do they need to have their prescription filled?

Prob'ly have them at home.

My guess is that a neighbor could ship them?

I'm pretty sure those hotels weren't allowed to kick them out.

Still though, they did, and by the time they get it sorted out, they'll be home. I'm sending this along, though.

Remain inside. Do not leave your home or hotel room.

Arrange to be tested for coronavirus. Call 0800-1202 to schedule an appointment.

If you test positive for coronavirus, you and any travelling companions must self-isolate in your holiday accommodation for two weeks.

I get it, but they were already kicked out and they already started staying elsewhere, so what difference does this make?

In case they run into any more problems where they are at currently.
