People are losing their minds is what's happening.

Testing hysteria is the next TP Apocalypse. Don't you know that now everyone will be convinced that every little burp or fart they have is coronavirus?

Meanwhile, while everyone who has a hangnail thinks it's coronavirus, all it takes is one person in the mix who actually *does* have it to create an outbreak.

Chances are that one person will be someone who hasn't taken this seriously too

Is that why so many are currently sidelined or working from home?

What do you mean exactly ? Working from home is to prevent the spread of course and if people are sidelined they are probably ill.

Not a good start to the morning. Seems NY is up to 1708.

New York, US Confirmed: 1,708 Deaths: 16 Recovered: 0 Active: 1,692

We've got our first case of the virus here in my county, Oneida.

UTICA, N.Y. – Oneida County Executive Anthony Picente has confirmed one person in Oneida County has tested positive for coronavirus. Picente says the person recently traveled internationally and has been quarantined at home since March 13, after returning from abroad on March 12, at which time they were symptomatic. They have not required hospitalization. The county is not releasing the name, age, gender or location of the individual at this time, nor the country from which they had just returned. While in quarantine, they are working to help the county health department identify people with whom they've come into contact since arriving back in the county. The county executive says this is the beginning. "We're gonna have more cases," says Oneida County Executive, Anthony Picente, Jr. "You're looking at the next three months being the most severe." Still, Picente says he does not foresee any further restrictions to daily life in the near future. "I don't have any intent on my state of emergeny to do that at this time or have not received any other orders or direction from the state," says Picente. "Unless something else changes in the guidelines, I don't see any of that in the immediate future." At a 3pm briefing Tuesday, Picente said he's suspending all county early intervention and pre-school-related services effective Friday, March 20th, at 5pm. The county is restricting visitors, requiring a sign-in and only allowing those with emergency or essential needs to enter the county building. Realizing that many might feel helpless, overwhelmed and really want to help, the county has set up a volunteer website, at [email protected]. Help is needed, with things like bringing food and medicine to seniors, and answering helpline phones. According to the New York Department of Health, there are 1374 positive coronavirus cases across the state. The highest concentration is in New York City, with 644 cases. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention there are 3,487 cases in the country, and 68 reported deaths.

No confirmed cases here in Steuben county, but I am sure it is here by now. There still seems to be a lack of proper testing. I don't think the local hospitals even have any tests.

Stay safe, and stay in if you can.

Just went to the supermarket this morning to top up so we can manage for 3 months. Used mask and rubber gloves. Thought better go now and rather in a months time when so many more infections.

As we arrived at the supermarket car park the Civil Guardia where checking people. Was told that only 1 person can travel in a car and go to the supermarket which was news to me. He said that if caught tomorrow out with 2 people in car then 600 euros fine.

Only the wife was allowed in the store. She managed to stock up good getting somethings we did not already have and extra. There was no rice or pasta and many other things were low. We stocked up on cereals like weatabix.

Spain numbers rising here now like Italy. 13910+ infected and 623 dead. Could be 30000 here in the next week or two.

Hopefully not be out again now for a long while.

Be safe.

Lord, this is getting more and more scary to me. I don’t know if they will still extend an exemption from the ban to immediate family members or not... I am an American married to a Canadian. I currently split my time between the two countries. I am not a permanent resident here yet, we are working on that still. I was planning to go back to the US this weekend after being here since the holidays but... I don’t want to leave my husband now.. I also don’t know when I will see him again, not only because of the border bans themselves, but he already was told he can’t leave the country as he’s military.

But then I’m also torn because of my family, my pets, my friends back home.. will I be able to get back home? I can legally stay here until July. Is that enough time? Who knows... I am so unbelievably stressed, not even at all about the virus itself with regards to me, but just with regards to life in general. Or my father getting it back home and I’m not there.

It’s still hard to wrap my head around the fact that this is all really happening in the world right now, even after seeing it coming two months ago.

Trump is closing the border to Canada. Just saw it on the news.

I really hope you have made your decision and acted by now...

posted this link in another thread as well, but posting it again since lot of ppl on here call bs on it. I can assure everyone that it isn't! This is very real and happening all over Europe...
Lot's of younger, healthy ppl are getting very sick and doctors have no idea why this is suddenly happening so fast.

People who have been laid off, whose work places have told them they are no longer needed because their just isn't the business to support this, people whose workplaces have been closed?

You talk like this is an either/or situation as if there are no degrees in between.

Husband may be getting a call then. He's a regular donation person with a rarer blood type. They'd have to be able to test him though I would think.

My blood type is the type I can use everyone else’s blood, but only a few people can use my blood type. I forget what it is.

AB+
The fortunate thing though is your plasma is universal for recipients

But I can only use AB+ plasma I guess. Fun.

I was talking about the people who still have a job but cannot work because they have Coronavirus mostly.

UK confirmed now at 2626 up from 1950 yesterday. Deaths to be announced later.

The airways are being jammed. pictures are being pixelated again and voices garbled. I wanted to be ready to hear but someone has other plans. China?
I have checked across the range from CNN to Fox. All the same.

Great updates by one of the best in the field:

Yale Expert Answers Your Coronavirus Questions

How is coronavirus transmitted? DR. ALBERT KO: "It's passed through what we call respiratory droplets. So if I sneeze or I cough and you're within 6 to 10 feet of me, you're at risk of catching the virus. The other way it happens is through direct contact. For example I touch my nose or my mouth I have my secretions that are filled with virus and then I shake your hand and then you touch your nose and mouth, that's the other method. The third is that if the virus is on a frequently touched doorknob and people come by there that's another mechanism."

How dangerous is coronavirus compared to the seasonal flu? DR. ALBERT KO: "This is a concerning epidemic it's now called a pandemic by the WHO. We're concerned because it's transmissible. It's probably more transmissible than the typical seasonal flu that we have. And the other thing that we're worried about is the death rate….we're still getting more evidence, on how that, what that exact number is, but it does seem higher than what we see for the seasonal flu. And that really kind of concerns us, because you can imagine how many Americans that will get infected, and among those, how many get sick, and of those, if a significant proportion, whether it's one to two percent , you know, die from the disease. That's a major public health problem."

Who is most at risk from the threat of coronavirus? DR. ALBERT KO: "The good news is that children, and young adults you know they're actually, have very few. So the risk of dying from this is very small. And actually the risk of being hospitalized or having severe pneumonia having to go to the intensive care unit is actually quite low in that age group. What we particularly worry about are the elderly, people over 60 years of age, 70 or 80 years of age where the death rates are actually quite high among those. And those are the most vulnerable. When we're thinking about this epidemic, right? Impending epidemic in our communities."

This man is one of the significant leaders of this disease, he’s the one who has always pushed the few week delay on actual numbers and numbers being far higher than they actually are. Brilliant man and I recommend you watch the entire interview.
