Have been trying to send money to my family in the Philippines through PayPal. Had weird problems: not able to access my PayPal account despite repeated calls to their help centre. Tried again this morning.
Got a recorded message.
Their help centre is closed due to coronavirus.
First sign of financial systems shutting down?
A few minutes ago, the Premier of Ontario, Doug Ford, looking almost tearful, announced a ban on all gatherings of more than 50 people. All religious services, all schools public and private, all theatres and cinemas, all libraries. Effective immediately.
Today the local clinic phoned—the clinic that was unexpectedly closed yesterday. The receptionist told me NOT to come to the clinic, that all business would be handled over the phone.
Canada shut its borders yesterday. France announced a lockdown.
Things feel surreal; as though I wake up to a dream. It is still only 9:30 in the morning.
Over the last few days, we have heard several government sources talking about things going on this way until August or September.
