Greetings by an old SEr from Milan, in the middle of the European outbreak.
Just for reassuring you, the situation isn't tragic at all. Provided an adequate healthcare response, the actual fatality rate of the virus is quite low.
Nevertheless, living in a (relatively) big city in mid-quarantine feels rather strange.

Was about to post something similar:
You’re Likely to Get the Coronavirus


Most cases are not life-threatening, which is also what makes the virus a historic challenge to contain.



If this one follows suit, and if the disease continues to be as severe as it is now, “cold and flu season” could become “cold and flu and COVID-19 season.”


The thing is, they said computer games like Plague Inc. are not a scientific representation but that virus sure adapted the common playing strategy of starting with a low profile.

Well, at least it's not nearly as lethal as Spanish flu or something.

I was eating at one of my Korean restaurants that I rarely go because the one I do go was closed for days...then it hit me....I'm like going "fffffuuuuuuuck" as I'm eating my Kimbap. I can only hope the Koreans in this restaurant haven't been back to Korea recently.

Nyc here, and really starting to feel uncomfortable on public transit.

I think the fear started to take hold when I learned Pence would be taking lead ....

It will spread all over the entire world. Many old and immunocomprimised people will die. There's nothing we will do to stop it.

The illuminati created Coronavirus by splicing SARS and AIDs because they want to wipe out all old people, and their first plan to use vaccination to kill the old actually just made them live longer. Wake up!

Not to worry - Pence is now in charge of the CDC's response to the outbreak. Things are just fixing to get so much better now! MAGA!
