Coronavirus 2019-2020 thread (no unsubstantiated rumours!)

Officially there's 500 case and 10 deaths. Out of 1.4 billion.
Thanks Hendrik, that is very encouraging for those of us in the middle or nearing the end as in Italy, or for those in the very beginning of this virus, as is most of the US... My heart goes out to all who have fought the corona virus and lost, and to those who have and continue to fight corona, hang in there and be safe!
Absolutely! Amen to that!

That would be an exceptionally pro-active move if those infection and death figures are accurate.
But given what has been happening all over the world, India would have to be mad to not take this seriously given their comparatively less advanced healthcare sector and high population density. Although one would have thought much more stringent boarder checks would have been a more reasonable step before a full lockdown, which is usually only necessary if the virus has achieved breakout.
Anyone have any information on how many people the Indian government have tested to date?
They have tested 15,000 so far.

The US Military has restrictions on operations in the US save on bases. This includes hospitals. As such the arm that responds is the Army National guard. But even then they need permission not just from the President but from the State Governor. The State Governor and government is the lead on natural disasters in the US. The DOD can’t deploy or build hopitals without permission. As such the Governors of said areas would have had to order such that week ago.
US Civics lesson over?

I just went out for groceries with my wife. We both wore masks. It was a Chinese grocery store. Most asians wore masks but most non-asians didn't. All the staff wore masks. Contrast this with my local non-asian grocery store, where nobody wore masks.
I'm glad I wore the masks. It's pretty much impossible to keep a 2m distance from other people in a grocery store. At one point there were people converging on me from all sides as I was picking out some vegetables.
