No new cases in Wuhan since the outbreak.

Don't know what to make of this. Imagining every other country going into lockdown while China goes back to normal. Would that be a good look for them, or bad?

PM Rutte is an idiot who is putting my grandmother in danger.
Sorry, but locking everyone else up isn't the answer, sounds like he is much more rational than others.
Your grandmother/my parents are responsible for protecting herself/themselves.
I am helping my parents by not visiting the for a while, and convincing them to self-isolate, and have offered to buy them anything they may need and bring it to them (they are only a couple of hours away by car).
It is the rational answer. The virus needs to die out. There is no such thing as 'immunity' with this thing. In fact the immune system completely #es up. ''herd immunity'' doesn't apply with this nasty virus.
I agree with Asgaard. If you want to create herd immunity at least 60 to 80% should have been in contact with the virus and have created antibodies in the people infected.
But what if that won't happen? Let's look at the normal 'cold', did we ever get 'herd immunity' from the normal cold? No! So why accept this as science now? This is a dangerous game they are playing.
The UK is going for the same thing, this herd bladiebla.
I wonder how history will show total government control, lock-downs and martial law on a global scale. I wonder if the fact that people are begging for it, will actually make it come to pass. I wonder what history will say about that if it happens.

The World Health Organization said Wednesday that it would launch a multiarm, multicountry clinical trial for potential coronavirus therapies, part of an aggressive effort to jumpstart the global search for drugs to treat Covid-19.
The four drugs or combinations will be compared to what is called standard of care — the regular support hospitals treating these patients use now, such as supplementary oxygen when needed.
The drugs to be tested are the antiviral drug remdesivir; a combination of two HIV drugs, lopinavir and ritonavir; lopinavir and ritonavir plus interferon beta; and the antimalarial drug chloroquine. All show some evidence of effectiveness against the SARS-CoV 2 virus, which causes Covid-19, either in vitro and/or animal studies.

Usually you use 99% isopropyl alcohol or grain alcohol cut with aloe Vera gel bringing it down to 60-70% alcohol. Here’s a recipe:
