Czech Republic locking down tight starting the 16th https://www.praguemorning.cz/czech-republic-closes-borders/

EU commission will not be happy about that!

Von der Leyen's intervention followed several days of criticism for EU's lack of collective response that was most exposed by a series of border closures among partner member states.
In the latest example, the Czech Republic announced that it would ban all foreigners from entering the country and all Czechs from leaving as of Monday.
Other member states including Austria, Slovenia and Hungary have suspended the rules of the passport-free Schengen travel zone and reimposed border checks, particularly with Italy.

- 'Bans not effective' -
"Certain controls may be justified, but general travel bans are not seen as being the most effective by the World Health Organization," von der Leyen said, calling instead for health screening at borders.
Such tests could be carried out either at borders or within member state territory.

"Any measure that is taken must be proportionate," she said.

So be smart aim for 14-20 days of food with 40% of that easy cook / boil foods you can do when ill and the rest are things you need effort to cook. If you want to prepare or stock past that then that's your call.

PLUS IF you are from the UK look at how fucking nuts people go at Christmas & "Snow" shopping will only get worse I done my last weekly shop till this all blows over yesterday and it took me an hour to check out at 11am!!!

Yeah, luckily I already have a bit of a brexit food stockpile of mostly tinned food, soups and things, so I should be fine for two weeks.

I live in a house share so self-isolating isn't even an option so if I get infected I dunno what I'll do.

Wish they don't start hoarding the cure like they're doing with preventive supplies
& ...
THIS 2 SHALL PASS

I have everything I need...

Just wanted to chime in with my experience so far and what I plan on doing from here on out, business wise and saftey wise.

All of my businesses are physical product based. I purchase wholesale, store the inventory, then ship. I buy from the US and China. I am concerned with how the virus is spread and if it can be spread through touching objects such as packages, coffee mugs, plastic toys, clothing, etc. All we know is that it is airborne. I am not willing to take the chance of ordering from a wholesaler and receive a box of physical products that can or may be contaminated with the virus. I already know a good portion of American customers are going to be alarmed when they see "Made in China" on their products from this point forward. Therefore, I have cut China from my business altogether. Since I don't know if the virus can be spread through packages and objects, I have cut physical products from my business as well for now.

I am going to re-group and replace all my physical products with digital products. I no longer want to ship anything because I am afraid to touch anything! Which is such a bummer because I love designing, developing, and shipping products. Shipping services in the US may come to a halt pretty soon anyway if the US goes under quarantine. So, instead of crying, I may as well adapt and move into another area of e-commerce.

For those who say it's just a flu and if you have a strong immune system, you will be fine. That may be true, but the problem is not me or you getting it. The problem is that you and I could spread it to someone else who may not have a good immune system. No one has ever caught this before, so it is foolish, even on the part of "scientists" to say there is nothing to worry about. SCIENTISTS DO NOT KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN UNTIL YOU GET SICK. They don't know everyone's body. They don't know how each individual on the planet will react to things. Some people can take Morphine, some people can't. Doctor's don't know until they give it to you. That's a fact.

Doesn't really seem like people are concerned for the safety of others. If they feel good, then they refuse to take precautions. That is how this has spread all over the world. People not taking it seriously are the ones spreading it. Like the guy on the basketball team touching everyone else on the team, thinking there was nothing to worry about, and now he and another teammate have the virus. Causing the whole NBA to be shut down. The other teammate may have children or elderly parents at home who can now be affected. That's why this is serious. A lot of people are fine with reacting to the virus after it happens, but some of us would like to prevent ourselves and others from getting it at all. So just be mindful of others. Cover your mouth, wash your hands, and do not go outside anywhere if you don't really have to.

Everything will be fine. I believe that

Plenty of Italian ministers/vice-ministers/members of gov tested positive, all being quarantined, maybe it's not bad news after all LOL
Police stations, military barracks, hospitals are being completely shut down for coronavirus tests and sanitizing after some positive cases...

In London a newborn just tested positive.
Five flights from the UK to Spain/Canarias/Balearic are being forced to do a mid-air U-turn and go back to the UK
Ivanka Trump is working from home in self-quarantine after her visit to the Australian Minister for Home Affairs (tested positive)...

It looks like Spain quickly want to join the Coronavirus podium... ramping up like it's on fire:
5945 cases, +713 last 24hrs,
191 deaths,+58 last 24hrs
I just read they're adopting the "Italian" lockdown system right now.

That's not what self isolating means.

You are supposed to stay 6ft away from anyone you share a home with

This is no joke, my country is closing all shops except food and drugs, also borders, great thing I stocked up on everything lol

You are an inspiration to the rest of the world!

Italians are real warriors in sports; descendants of the proud Romans and place of origin to Cosa Nostra, those people don't seem to give up without a fight.

I'm working from home, almost stopped going outside, cancelled all meetings, etc. Hoarded on some grains and canned beans LOL
