jGold: Wise..

WHO report #55:

72 469 confirmed (10 955 new)

+17.8%

equals to multiplier 2,547,106 over a 90 day period (if not changing). Based on 72,469 infected people outside China: Potential for 184.6B people in three months - statistically.

Yes it is a wise decision. It gets a bit more difficult for us here in SA though. We are dealing with a lot at the moment. Just on a daily basis we have rolling blackouts as it is, we term it load shedding. We have just finished stage 4 load shedding which basically means 3 times a day for 2 hours we have no electricity at all, so like us here in my area that 6 to 8 am then at 4 to 6pm ad again at 8 to 10pm. Then on top of that we have water shedding too, lucky we haven't had in my area for a few weeks but some areas are without running water for days. So a simple task in some of our communities such as washing hands is not possible all the time, and our poorest people would never be able to afford the hand sanitiser. Our state hospitals are falling apart and most cant afford medical cover privately.
As bad as it sounds, we are a loving and caring bunch so between us all we make it work and we help where and when we can, it is what it is unfortunately we just get on with it.
I don't think its all doom and gloom though, I think we will recover soon everyone seems to be taking it extremely seriously and doing whatever they can to contain it. I think we need to protect our elderly, immune compromised and children as best we can. So if that means staying at home, keeping clean and no socializing for a month , its a small price to pay. Hopefully the strategy works.

Since a few minutes, Italy data is out (over yesterday):

CASES: 35,713 (+4,207 cases / +13.4%)
DEATHS: 2,978 (+475 deaths / +19.0%)

Lockdown of social life works but still infections multiply with 82,257 over 90-day period (prognosis). Similar here in Austria - 20% more cases, lockdown continuing. For US people thinking these two countries wouldn't affect them: Border to Canada is closed, US meanwhile 7,666 cases. Pretty high death rate, btw.

Obviously, lockdown is not enough. Virus can survive over a 9-day period on e.g. plastic surfaces; up to 3 hours stay in the air. Thus, using an elevator can get an 'interesting experience', sort of.

Enough food for a minimum of 3 months (at home). Buy your stuff as long as you can, is one advice. The more people will get infected, the 'dirtier' will food, packaging become. Currently, using a mask as well as gloves is strongly recommendable - but how about not to touch the outside of your own gloves? Without washing them each time? Door handles, buttons, everything could be contaminated. Even the soles of your shoes. No panic but riscs of reality.

WHO starts to admit:

Reporting false data over the last few weeks. Now comes up with 22.9k new cases per day. They also changed reporting time period from 10am to 0am.
Global growth rate? Way too high. 98% underestimating the risk. Even doctors etc. - 9% of medical staff infected (Italy). Get food. Get off contacts.

US now on pos 7 (before: 8). Just saying. Germany, France, UK, US - next.

9,000 deaths. This morning it was 7,900.

US now on position #7.

The disease is going through the roof. Dozens of countries, currently with only hundreds of cases, most of them not prepared / going into the thousands, soon. Death toll soon in its 5-digits, which most likely is just the start.

This virus is not sleeping, yet.

UPDATE: USA now on position #6.

I am self-isolating. At least it gives me time to binge-watch Mindhunter.
