Was at the mall this morning. Pasta and rice all sold out at 9am, half an hour after the shops opened. Also many people with bottles of water and toilet paper. Yup, even the so call Dutch people are starting to panic.

maintenance guy at work is off with suspected Coronavirus, he is awaiting testing !
So? Who has been, ever?
.
No, we are talking virus here remember, and those new diseases killed at least half of the population, and on seeing that they "newcomers" who knew more about the diseases kept on using it against them.
Milan authorities were saying as much until 2 days ago... "Milan doesnt stop!"... or some dumb thing to that purpose. Now they have closed down everything save for pharmacies and grocery stores.

Do you mean like when Cortez' army infected the Aztecs or Columbus' expedition infected the Taino?
Or was it more like the "newcomers" catapulting plague infested corpses over fortress walls in the old world or perhaps like the "prior owners" poisoning rival tribe's water supplies with dead animals?
Exactly like all that.

Stay safe Vincenzo
I'm on your tail!
And I'm in trail.
If I misread your post, I apologize. The "wake up and smell the coffee" line caught my eye.
My advice is to check every day or two on the websites and watch for trends over time and draw your own conclusions.
Right now it looks no where near as bad as H1N1 was in 2009-2010. But that could change.
Yeah, I think if you already have health problems, you should be careful. If your health is good,m, it'll probably another cold.

I found this useful ...
:
The new Coronavirus may not show sign of infection for many days.
How can one know if he/she is infected?
By the time they have fever and/or cough and go to the hospital, the
lung is usually 50% Fibrosis and it's too late.
Taiwan experts provide a simple self-check that we can do every morning.
Take a deep breath and hold your breath for more than 10 seconds. If
you complete it successfully without coughing, without discomfort,
stiffness or tightness, etc., it proves there is no Fibrosis in the
lungs, basically indicates no infection.
In critical time, please self-check every morning in an environment
with clean air.
Serious excellent advice by Japanese doctors treating COVID-19 cases:
Everyone should ensure your mouth & throat are moist, never dry.
Take a few sips of water every 15 minutes at least. Why?
Even if the
virus gets into your mouth, drinking water or other liquids will wash
them down through your throat and into the stomach.
Once there, your stomach acid will kill all the virus. If you don't
drink enough water more regularly, the virus can enter your windpipe
and into the lungs.
That's very dangerous.
Please send and share this with family and friends.
Take care everyone and may the world recover from this Coronavirus soon.
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT - CORONAVIRUS
Last evening dining out with friends, one of their uncles, who's graduated with a master's degree and who worked in Shenzhen Hospital (Guangdong Province, China) sent him the following notes on Coronavirus for guidance:
1. If you have a runny nose and sputum, you have a common cold
2. Coronavirus pneumonia is a dry cough with no runny nose.
3. This new virus is not heat-resistant and will be killed by a temperature of just 26/27 degrees. It hates the Sun.
4. If someone sneezes with it, it takes about 10 feet before it drops to the ground and is no longer airborne.
5. If it drops on a metal surface it will live for at least 12 hours - so if you come into contact with any metal surface - wash your hands as soon as you can with a bacterial soap.
6. On fabric it can survive for 6-12 hours. normal laundry detergent will kill it.
7. Drinking warm water is effective for all viruses. Try not to drink liquids with ice.
8. Wash your hands frequently as the virus can only live on your hands for 5-10 minutes, but - a lot can happen during that time - you can rub your eyes, pick your nose unwittingly and so on.
9. You should also gargle as a prevention. A simple solution of salt in warm water will suffice.
10. Can't emphasis enough - drink plenty of water!
THE SYMPTOMS
1. It will first infect the throat, so you'll have a sore throat lasting 3/4 days
2. The virus then blends into a nasal fluid that enters the trachea and then the lungs, causing pneumonia. This takes about 5/6 days further.
3. With the pneumonia comes high fever and difficulty in breathing.
4. The nasal congestion is not like the normal kind. You feel like you're drowning. It's imperative you then seek immediate attention.
