Panic-buying Brits strip supermarket shelves of pasta, rice and water | Daily Mail Online

Once everyone has stocked up I hope the panic buying slows down and shelves return to normal levels.
There also should be laws put into place to prevent people buying large quantities of items and reselling them at inflated prices.

Up to 1 million people could be tested for coronavirus in the US by the end of the week
From CNN's Christina Maxouris
Up to a million people could be tested for coronavirus by the end of week, the FDA said Monday, as cases across the US rose to more than 100 and health officials warned that the number will keep climbing.

Cases of the virus have now been reported in 12 states -- the majority of them in California and Washington state, where six people have died.

About a quarter of the current cases were likely transmitted through US communities, officials have said, meaning they were not travel-related.

"My concern is as the next week or two or three go by, we're going to see a lot more community-related cases," Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said in a news conference Monday. "That's of great concern."

India was one of the countries featured in”Pandemic.” The problem there is that people wait until they are really sick before seeking help. They showed a health group going door to door to find cases. And they followed a pulmonologist on his rounds.

I'm afraid this is what we face in the US also, with each state doing what they like......

WHO’s recommendation: trigger top health alert level & test all patients w/ atypical pneumonias.
Germany, Austria & other countries haven’t followed those guidelines, nor banned large public events or ordered mass closures of schools.

OT—-My daughter and SIL are moving to Atlanta in April from San Diego. She got a big promotion at work that requires her to be at the headquarters in Atlanta. Quite a change for them but I think it’s great to get out of your comfort zone.

I don't see any actions of containment in the US response at this time....especially Georgia. They were happy that a doctor tested a patient.....that's a very low standard IMO.

It’s very important for people to realize that the peak in China is not “the natural” peak. Numbers have been going down only because of strong measures taken - including rather draconian ones like strict traffic restrictions.
