Ugh, we had the same here. Dude turns out infected, placed in self-isolation. Partner allowed (isolation is merely advised anyway, not mandatory AFAIK) to go about her day.
You will NOT BELIEVE what HAPPENED NEXT! 9/10 doctors HATE this trick! sigh
They've already given up on containment now they are just trying to slow it down. The question is where do you stop with the self isolation go over and businesses and supply chains and everything else suffers where people are not infected but at home just in case, go under and it spreads faster.
My current general advice is...don't watch 'Twelve Monkeys!' Nothing to do with ubiquitous viral apocalypse paranoia - just to avoid having to watch Brad Pitt hamming it up like William Shatner on a bad - or good? - day!
As far as a place to go if & when the
hits the fan...I have a location guaranteed to be deserted - the Etihad stadium in Manchester!
62,500 people are killed by sharks each year?!!
No wonder we're all terrified of them.
Don't worry, I have it on good authority that 99.9% of shark attacks happen when you're wet!

No wonder we're all terrified of them.I mean...more people travel on roads than swim with sharks. Naturally

Here's a question...if you're actually under water are you wet?)
Italy has a large illegal migrant population of Chinese workers who have to sneak in and out. This was predicted a couple of weeks ago because of that IIRC.
Chinese involved in illegal business? Sure. Illegal Chinese migrant? Hard to do that when for the most part they come in by plane. Unless they all travel clinging tightly to landing gears, those sneaky Chinese!
"Jokes" aside, the irony in all this is that the only confirmed cases of infected Chinese in our country were a tourist couple at the very first onset of this all madness (and you can imagine the embarassingly ignorant Chinese-oriented racist hysteria that ensued), while mostly everyone else after that has been very much indigenous to the place. The largest Chinese communities in Italy happen to be in Prato (Tuscany), Milan and Rome, logic would have dictated that those would have been the first hotbeds in that case. It wasn't the case.

Boats.
Its certainly a mystery what with illegal migrants being so warmly welcomed into European hospitals. Except as cleaners and porters obviously.
Sidenote: as a woke millennial social media prostitute I have noticed a rather disturbing trend. For the last few years the progressive left has been rather keen on squashing any racist crap about African feacesholes and Mexican rapists, but when it comes to China it is peddle-to-the-metal. On a relatively left-leaning social media platform someone posted a top-ranked comment about China that was almost verbatim a Trump quote. When I pointed that out the predictable downvote-inferno began. Over here we had a Carnaval tune about how 'those stinking chinese' 'murdered hundreds of people'. A common sentiment in the days after was that 'we shouldnt be so politically correct' about it.
Not a good thing.
I'm recommending isolation.
Alien Isolation. Stay at home and play it.

Isolating Aliens is xenophobic.
On a more amusing note: Kids. Kids never change.
The last few weeks I’ve been traveling through South America, the Middle East and India, now here is the fun factor, I had some business in Europe too and when I got off the airplane from India no check for virus, nothing nada, when I arrived in India there was a very strict control of all passengers.
until now India got about 30 something cases officially known, Europe is already a lost case if you compare, I know that if the virus get a foot in a country like India it will rampage very fast, because basically no hygiene exist there. So when I return to the America’s I’m going to self quarantine for a month

Oh my, I'm wet every time I read Jason's posts...
The Irish government has decided to cancel the parades in Dublin and the country's second city, Cork, for St. Patrick's Day on March 17 due to the coronavirus epidemic.
A scandal here !

Any given case numbers - they do vary - for people infected with SARS - CoV - 2 ofc only mean the tested and confirmed people . Which is one of the reasons more and more actual Virologists and Epidemists and whatever-those-specialists-are-named are not at all shy anymore to warn about the Virus/disease potentially going pandemic and in the course become endemic, or the other way round, or whichever way it takes - which, btw., is the reason for all the "Panic" . If you look at the confirmed cases and confirmed deaths, you are not getting the real numbers, not of how many people are infected with SARS - CoV -2, neither of how many people have died due to SARS - CoV - 2 . People may have died of a Heartattack - having been caused by an infection . Unless dead people are specifically looked at for the Virus, we do not know how many people that Beast has really killed - we only know how many people were actually "witnessed" to have died by the pneumonic disease - CoViD -19 .
An unknown number of infected people is spreading the Virus for weeks already, likely all over the Globe . Nobody knows how many people that Virus has killed .

You think that is something? Our bold government has shown decisive leadership by doing the unthinkable.
They recommend people to not shake hands.[/quote]
btw, with 'our government' I mean the Dutch government. The Belgian government has not done much yet, as we haven't had one for over 400 days and counting.
