I don't know what is the equivalent of what we call 'district' in other countries but the district size is about 4 km2 with 105k people in it

My town: a little under 130km2 and 27k people  

 

Let's see where it spreads more.

I think if one of the two people later tested positive, my district alone will jump on the leaderboard beating about 20-30 countries

The fear emotion plunge the global stock market. I have a deep concern for global economy and financial markets. I don't want it's the fear itself defeat human race instead of the virus. So worried about the job and mortgage.

Prison riots in Italy. 6 dead.

 

What movie is this?

The situation is just tragic, 27 riots but only one serious situation (Foggia, the army are on the streets). 

 

The 6 people are dead for overdose

I hate to see things cancelled or postponed over a virus, however these governments taking 'drastic' measures are doing much more than what Trump and his administration are doing here. The media isn't helping either, although I understand their need to inform, but they can't seem to do that without causing panic, i.e. how many (of the 100k+ or so cases) have recovered

Well..... Whatever CHN is doing seems working.they are getting less than 50 cases

 

Also South Korea also seems to be reducing cases 

 

..... Italy had announced a quarantine lockdown for northern Italy : hope it works , high time and possibly can bring new cases down........ 

 

I think if IRI can push the cases down..... We may see a reduction of corona..... 

 

 

Currently 2/3 of the cases are just in two countries..... 

 

I think if airport testing and push for rapid testing of chain of infection cases works for the other countries we can really get control

 

I seriously doubt it...after they announced the lockdown (but before he was effective), Milan's Central station was literally assaulted by people trying to go back to their city of origin in the Southern Regions, with a high risk of spreading the virus also in those areas where at the moment there are only very few cases (if none at all)...

That’s a Costco, so it’s probably the US.

US stock market has paused after the fail-safe limit was hit this morning.

More likely is that it's a Costco in Australia.
