I notice the frequency of sex toy commercials on German television has increased a lot over the last days
I'm finding a lot of the ads very weird - they are still burbling on about tourist destinations or flying or have scenes of crowds - a real disconnect to the present reality. More recent ads are heavily focused on home delivery of food services, either boxes of fresh veg and groceries, or fully cooked meals. It seems Oz values food over sex, at least compared to Germans... :tea:
The ad AI knows what you like Jim - and NineBerry too!

If that was the case I'd be bombarded with ads for gin!

Yep.
Trump, you incompetent idiot! You sent 18 tons of PPE to China early but ignored warnings & called COVID19 concerns a hoax. You've endangered doctors, nurses, aids, orderlies, & janitors – all risking their lives to save ours. Pray 4 forgiveness for the harm that you're causing!
— Maxine Waters

...and haven't they been telling us how obvious it should have been for Trump to pull the trigger on these powers that now leave Canada and others more exposed?

The fatalities in New York state held steady on Monday for the second consecutive day
Not that there's much to cheer about concerning the loss of life in NY, this is good news. Our own line has been flat now for weeks despite early concerns that it would quickly jump. We've been very good about social distancing though, closing schools and major gatherings weeks ago...let's hope it pays off.

It IS paying off. People are overall doing awesome at 'pitching in'. Not everywhere, but increasing success everywhere.
