And now Bulgaria reports its first 2 cases. That's every single country in Europe affected now

Kansas reports first case of coronavirus t.co/eUoE2b20hL

Bahrain's health ministry has confirmed 19 new cases of coronavirus. - @AlArabiya_Eng

I think I'll have half raw and half lightly cooked in that case.

Shanghai Diva -

When you were in China with the virus - did you self isolate (sorry if you've already described this). Or did you carry on as normal?

I've seen you say that no-one you know has had the virus.

In your opinion, having experienced the spread of the virus in China, do you feel that we should close schools, stop eating out/swimming/going to the gym etc?

I keep swinging between being petrified of this thing - and then feeling not worried at all. We're going swimming a lot and I feel fine at the swimming pool. But tonight in a restaurant for DH's birthday - I did not feel at all fine. Everything felt dirty and made me paranoid.

Perhaps we just have to go with our gut feelings ... but it's difficult when every individual has such a different idea of what they/we should do.

I personally would like our government to be more authoritarian in this sort of circumstance.

If Washington DC now has its first case maybe Trump will start taking it more seriously! 🤷‍♀️

@usernameishistory Thank You

Yes currently looking at the vast logistics that must be required to quarantine 10 million people in Lombardy, Italy.

The WHO are urging containment has the highest priority.

New York reports 13 new cases of coronavirus, or 45 new cases so far today, raising the state's total to 89 t.co/eUoE2b20hL

@NeckPainChairSearch. Can you expand? Post a pic of what we'd be looking for. I'm all for some healthy fresh freebies

Also, using fresh garlic, chop and allow to 'develop' for 10 mins to maximise its antiviral properties.

NEW: White House says it is aware that an individual who attended CPAC has tested positive for coronavirus, but stresses that "there is no indication that either President Trump or Vice President Pence met with or were in close proximity to the attendee." t.co/Xr1hAoAWKf

White House: "The President’s physician and United States Secret Service have been working closely with White House Staff and various agencies to ensure every precaution is taken to keep the First Family and the entire White House Complex safe and healthy."

The proposed new red zones in Italy cover a huge area, including Milan and a number of big industrial cities - but it is still only a draft proposal, plan is for the law to be passed tomorrow. Ridiculous that the government have allowed it to be reported everywhere as so many people are already starting to leave before the lockdown starts. Nothing being said about exports from those regions also - I wonder is there going to be an impact on availability of stuff like parmeggiano etc!!

Also rushes out to buy parmesan 😬

I have emollient for eczema in the cupboard but not sure if it can replace soap

I’m fairly sure I recall a woman on Radio 4 saying that you can mix emollient with water to make something like a liquid soap which would work well.

probably stupid question but does anyone know where to get hand sanitiser from? Ridiculous prices on amazon and they might not be right alcohol content. Really concerned as my mum has cancer, feel panicky having to get the bus into work at the moment

So air .con in large buildings...
When they are deep cleaning here are they cleaning that?
Would heating do the same and lift the virus?

Also feel cleaning a school couldn't work, it could be on the books etc. Really need to be closed as long as the virus can live in surfaces for.

I would ground the planes. We need to look closer at how clean they are. And the air. Airports too.
Close countries to tourists.

Could they use an app maybe fb to ask travellers to log where travelled and when and then symptoms.

I think they definitely need to stop cruises. If they don't
1 they won't have any elderly to go on them
2 trust is lost as they know it's dangerous.

Trump's priority is keeping Trumpself safe. I think maybe some world leaders will be seen through the lens of real actual people's crises now, and be found wanting.

We need to close and lock our doors to Italy immediately!

Although, playing devils advocate this thing seems to be so contagious I think just one case wandering around a town, village or city could cause chaos.

God help us if we get to that stage here. I have prepped and have plenty of supplies but I don’t want to have to use any of them for a real situation where I’m dependent on them. 😕

I have a top up meter for gas and electricity. Say if I had to go into isolation and my credit run out what would I do? i can only afford to top up small amounts at a time.

Oxford Uni student confirmed with Covid19..

@marmite92 I'm sorry about your mum. If you can't find hand sanitiser, use surgical spirit (mixed with a little aloe vera gel if it's too drying for your hands). Or rubbing alcohol.
