"GAS-boetes" (sorry no translation possible) , a kind of immediatly payable tax, of 250€ for every non-necessary transportation or visit.
We are ordered to stay at home, we have to buy meat by phone! All is closed except the most necessary things to keep an country alive.
And yes, it is no joke having it.
I quote "now to slow down on the downward slope and not upwards", we are hoping for a flate line so the beds on intensive care don't get full.
It will take longer but doing so the government hopes that the hospitals and their staff can handle this.
Most deaths (35%) are in retirement homes. Some say it's worse than the great wars in some hospitals.
So my friends, stay at home, avoid all contact and yes it is hard not seeing and hughing your family but it is the only way to deal with this.
And keep on chipping! Thanks for the internet, well the military that invented it.
