Hello, as Italy saw it's first drop in victims, most of you are advised to stay at home and or keep 1.5m distance when going out, obviously many can't or won't comply as they seem unable to grasp what is going on. In the Netherlands roads to beachresorts were closed down to prevent people to enjoy a very sunny sunday at the sea, parks were full, to my surprise these still haven't been closed but then the Dutch government is trying to balance the need for some normality and keep the economy going and control the tempo of the spread of the virus to a manageable level for the health care sector . Neighbors Belgium are angry because they decided to go in lockdown which obviously seems a good response but isn't because this virus isn't going away, it's only just started on it's global triumph tour. The populace need to buildup resistance and this can only come through people having survived the infection which is going on now, and with a vaccine which will take many months minimal to develop. After just 2 weeks these Belgians are spewing hateful remarks in the direction of the Dutch i expect them to go completely mental in a month or two, certainly if they see the Dutch live less oppressed, and in the knowledge when all this is over their country is ruined, and the Dutch who were in a much stronger financial position and who immediately assured those that got layed off 90% of their income, yes the reality check has been limited in the Netherlands. Alas the great worry now are what will happen to the UK and USA, countries not known for their collective institutions and with lot's of poor people. As for the rest of the world hmmm too many of them have bigger worries.
Here at Rho-xs visitor numbers have been stable but i did notice a big rise in re-up requests which points to my visitors spending more time at Rho-Xs (glad to be at service). Alas over the years i've lost access to a number of disks, specially the loss of my Aetix and Roots collection hinders my capability to re-up. Obviously the torrent world offers a solution, but this scene is dynamic and suffers the same fate as my posts , the hosts delete the file when demand has dropped, in the torrent world this even worse. Unfortunately this means whilst bigger names get revived the more obscure tend to completely disappear, a fate that is suffered by roots artists as an example Salif Keita a relative big name is nowhere to be found in flac these days (just one album) when a few years ago there were many titles to be had. Same goes for many a reggae artist and even in Aetix the choice of what is on offer is deminishing day by day. I'm doing my best to fulfil requests but it's difficult and in the future i will request you my visitor to give back the odd title that you downloaded via Rho-xs and repost it here.
13 correct requests for this week, 2 too early, whatever another batch of 52 re-ups (16.2 gig)
These days i'm making an effort to re-up, it will satisfy a smaller number of people which means its likely the update will expire relatively quickly again as its interest that keeps it live. Nevertheless here's your chance ... asks for re-up in the comments section at the page where the expired link resides, or it will be discarded by me. ....requests are satisfied on a first come first go basis. ...updates will be posted here remember to request from the page where the link died! To keep re-ups interesting to my regular visitors i will only re-up files that are at least 12 months old (the older the better as far as i am concerned), and please check the previous update request if it's less then a year old i won't re-up either.
Looka here , requests fulfilled up to March 19th... N'Joy

ReplyDeleteYou are a star. Thank you very much

Thanks, Rho, for the reups. Here in Peru we have been in mandatory quarantine for about 10 days and with a curfew from 8 pm to 5 am. Hopefully it will reduce the spread of the cov-19 to some degree, since unfortunately the public health service sucks. To give you an idea: there are only 250 respirators in the whole country. Meanwhile, the level of people with informal employment who live from day to day is quite high. So we don't know how long the majority of the population can endure these measures. So thanks again for the music, which always helps to cope with these situations. Take care.
ReplyDeleteHello Anon,unfortunately there are many countries where you would be worse of, Peru is in the process of becoming a western country on the other hand you have a lot of people for whom covid 19 will be no more than a nuisance and having lived closer to death on a daily basis, they will be much stronger in bouncing back. As for your quarantine, 10 days is rather short and any success depends on the infected being able to isolate themselves, this obviously poses a huge problem for Peruvians. As a consequence your government's action is going through the motions but with little hope of stopping the virus , the actions in Europe are geared to keep the hospitals able to cope at great cost to the economy that had to be arrested. The world will be changed after all this is over, hopefully for the better. (it's part of the 2012 changes).
ReplyDeleteIn the meantime don't worry and live healthy
