That means currently 0.001% of the worlds population have caught coronvirus as it currently stands.
Correct.
If in the next two weeks this increase of 13-fold continues how many will it be then? Extrapolate that out for another two weeks?
1.5 million > 20 million etc....
Absolutely its very much a morale dilemma as to how much we are willing to 'allow' at the expense of future generations. I read every week that Italy is shutdown will essentially keep them in a recession for an added 5 years.
The unpopular line is that we live in a significantly over populated planet and if its not Coronavirus its what comes next. Every human cant possible live to 110 years old.

Is it true the average age of the 894 Italians who have died is 81?
So you've seen everything have you?

No

We've had parties in our supply chain email us to tell us they're experiencing delays with goods inwards and no sign of change anytime soon.
We've, as an organisation, implemented some control measures for drivers coming in and out of our premises.
If you don't want to take it seriously that's up to you, but if there's ever been a case of being proactive as opposed to reactive then this is it.
Proactive? As in stocking up on shit paper and carrying on like a pork chop because 9 people in SA have it? No thanks. I shouldn't say that, there might be 10 people that have it by the end of the week
No additional toilet paper than what we already stock and I haven't had pork chops for a month or so, might get some.
You can act as you see fit, no need to give those who are taking other action shit because of it.
My oath I'll give morons shit who stockpile on toilet paper (pardon the pun)

The World Health Organisation has listed their 4 key points, just this morning as :
1- Prepare and be ready.
2 - Detect, protect and treat.
3 - Reduce transmission.
4- Innovate and learn
5- sit back, crack a beer and laugh at the morons fighting over arse paper
What about the arse-clowns attempting to return & get a refund from Woolies for the excess toilet paper they bought

Way overhyped this carona virus. Best case sample I could find is on the diamond princess cruise ship. 3711 passengers and crew were tested. 705 contracted the virus. 7 passed away. 1 % death rate Of those 7 most were over 70 with underlying issues Just another bad case of the flu really.
If you don't like it, change it. If you don't want to change it, it can't be that bad!

You can get a vaccine for the flu if you're over 70.

Do you have 10-20 year old kids that are going to have to build a life and future going into a recession would be the counter argument

I'm not worried about them and coronavirus, lol.
I worry about their long term financial security, cost of living, housing etc. I would not want to be a late teen / early 20 something trying to buy a house in today's world.

It's better than trying to sell a house atm, a mate of mine is trying to sell his house that he's rented out for 12 years, it's in excellent condition but he wont even get back what he paid for it, soon they'll have no deposit home loans.
