Must admit the notion 20 million will get coronavirus does seem far-fetched/fake news/or panic spreading but I am not an expert in viruses, hold no medical expertise so I could be ignorant and stupid to say that but my gut feeling is this has to be way worse than what the media/governments are telling us or it's insanely over-exaggerated. 20 million Californian citizens will get the virus in the next two months? Can that be true? But anyway, it's getting more and more concerning. Amazing and scary times we're going through. Hard to believe what's happening.

BTW, here, they closed all the parks and forest walkways. Including the park I use as a shortcut to and from work.
Just watch the Sky News footage of Italy hospitals front line today, and it will give you the reality jolt you need. We are all on a trajectory now heading towards what Italy is going through. Some will cope better than others.
It's going to be a rough one. It will get worse before it gets better.
The thing is that not all carriers of the corona virus will suffer lethal consequences most of them will be a carrier therefor lethal for people in the risk zone, some will get and be mildly sick and then there are the seriously ill with a chance on a deadly outcome. The 20 million who get the Corona virus will not die of it but carry it nonetheless.
Italy has beaten their own record, with 627 new deaths today and nearly 6,000 new cases. They are now the first country to reach 4,000 deaths from the coronavirus.
Edit:
Boris Johnson announces that all cafes, pubs, bars, nightclubs, gyms, cinemas and restaurants in the UK will be closed until further notice.
The five Flemish universities will not resume physical lessons this year, instead opting for digital lessons only. How exams will be organised is up in the air completely. Many students disapprove of the decision.
Nothing to apologize for. Trump screwed up big time. Not a political statement, but a fact. If that triggers his supporters, tough luck mate, just enjoy staying at home.
It isn't. China totally locked down their country. No buses, no trains, supermarkets closed, food rationing, entire cities being forbidden from going outside, 7pm curfews. No country in Europe or North America have taken any of these measures. Such measures that allowed China to contain the virus within 3 months (or 4 given the first case originated from November). Look at Italy. 500 deaths a day on average now. The most optimistic scenario says they will reach their peak in 2 weeks. Within next week they'll reach 1,000 deaths a day. The normal flu kills 750 people a month in Italy. And their quarantine measures is extremely mild compared to China. The UK just closed all non-essentials public places tonight, which is even later than Italy did. All public places should have been closed a month ago, if not more. France hosted a major election 2 days before shutting the country down. Our politicians are criminally underestimating the gravity of the situation.
Spot on. Here in Ireland, we cancelled the Ireland versus Italy Six Nations game, but for some reason allowed the thousands of Italian fans who had booked flights to come here for the entire weekend. A massive health and safety contradiction.
It's tone deaf decisions like that which have sunk the situation to the dire level that it's at currently. And it's going to get worse.
Sure, the European countries are slowing starting to cop on, but it's too late now.
Totally agree.
One hospital in London has already now declared itself critical. There will be more to follow in the next week.
Scary to think where UK will be this time next week.
Spot on on everything you said.
BTW by the end of April Italy would most likely reach 40.000 deaths linked to coronavirus, based on some latest predictions. Which is insane. For us April will be the toughest month. It's beyond me how it is even possible that in Milan metro and public transports are still working full time. It's unbelievable. Anyway tomorrow will be my 15th day of quarantine without seeing or talking to anyone I know in person.
Here in New York City, starting on Sunday, the entire state is to be adopt a “shelter in place” posture. Over the course of the week the percentage of workers allowed to travel to work has been lowered each day, so this latest policy wasn’t a surprise. Only, workers required for transportation, medical or health services, garbage pick-up, police, fire and food services are exempt. And, per last week’s policy, as of Monday, March 23rd, all students will study from home – via virtual classrooms.
That said, in many ways we’ve been lucky (until now?), as the images coming from places like Italy have been truly horrific.
I can't imagine. I live in Phoenix, AZ. Our restrictions are less severe at the moment: all public places are closed, except for public parks, and most restaurants still have take-out available. In my neighborhood, people are taking this $#!t seriously.
But Camille.
