Heard a pastor's sermon once about a dam breaking and headed for a town. Several monks stood in the river and prayed to God that the water would miss the town. The town was saved. Calling all angels.

Not sure about other countries, but Italy economy is about to collapse. They’re soccer matches should be forfeited despite being closed doors. They could get worse than China

Be vigilant. Wear masks if you go out. Practice social distancing. Wash your hands for 20 seconds. Use hand sanitizers. Don’t touch your face. Use diluted bleach to clean house. Stay safe. Stay strong.

What happens on April 4th when they end this and the virus is still raging?

Meanwhile, in Sacramento County and two neighboring counties, right near where I live, they've decided to tell people that they don't need to be quarantined even if they've had Direct exposure to someone else with covid-19. Even healthcare workers. I think they want all of us to die.

It's Wed 10th March. Italy is in lock down and Lombardy has been designated a danger reason for a week or so, but still, Still flights are coming back into the UK from this danger region and thousands of people are coming into the UK from Italy and being allowed to spread the virus here in the UK. Most of the Coronovirus cases here in the UK are linked to Italy so it seems utterly mad to still be allowing people from Italy to come into the With this sort of mentality I am afraid we are in the UK, despite, as an island, being well placed to prevent the spread of the virus

Emmm.... honestly, Chinese could use online service for everything such as utility payment, grocery shopping which makes the lockdown easier.

"...I hope it has a good ending" - Said no GoT fan ever. 😂😂😂

Why is the mortality rate in Italy 6 times what it is elsewhere.

Perfect chance for Netflix documentary

Wow a pass on mortgage and utilities. That's when you know. I hope the US can accommodate in a similar way to prevent financial hardship for families.

60m people it’s the same as Hubei province. I’ve been telling people this fact for weeks now. Same as uk where I live
