I believe only in those statistics, which I created by myself! 
But this time you are right!
Those tips should be followed without any “virus panic”.
Quite a normal behavoir!
Apple is asking employees to work from home over coronavirus concerns
Lot of restaurants in SFO (and believe across major US cities) are / will go empty, same with Hotels.
Just saw lot of event cancellation across Bay Area today
Interesting times, to test the attitudes of every country. They’ll be people homeless in San Francisco with also empty hotel rooms, for months.

My other half announced today they have closed the Eindhoven branch for 7 days and TBC after that.
2 staff from her site (UK) have been asked to self isolate as currently unconfirmed.
Non essential staff have been sent home with key staff being supplied laptops and access to work from home.
Sad to know, but it’s just matter of time to spread all across

If the ability is there i don’t see why companies wouldn’t enforce it.
China had the right idea and acted for the benefit of the community.
Other countries are governed to only think about the individual and as such no decision is made either way, even though the figures keep rising.

I heard that on the news today.
I must admit i find it hard to understand the 1000 spectator thing, what the difference between 1000 and 1001?
Seems to be an arbitrary decision for decision sake.

Indeed Paul.
But a limit has to be given.
If it makes sense, who knows

I think all or nothing, nothing being the sensible option, providing stopping the spread is the priority.

I’m with you on this @paulstevenewing it’s common sense and doesn’t matter if the government allows me or not, but I’m not going in to any gathering …
be it 10 or 100 or 1000. It’s not worth it.
Better to be safe than sorry.

There are two opposing science forces.
Working backwards from a future to present. Last is psychological, first is pathology.
Fear Fatigue. People who are asked to stay isolated, mostly indoors, get a type of cabin fever, where they say “this isn’t living, let fate do it’s worse” and begin to rebel against isolation instructions. Most people get to this stage in 3 weeks.
Working backwards from this, the infected numbers for this virus are a doubling every 6 days on average.
Working backwards to the present. UK has about 300 known infected, but this virus is now spreading uncontrollable and the young can be asymptomatic, so let’s assume (a guess) 10x are actually infected, so 3000. In a week it’s 6000. In 5 weeks it’s 32x present so 96000 infected. In 2 months from now there’s 3 million infected, and 3 months from now everyone has had it or soon will be. So your chance of infection is higher over time til immune people begin to slow infection.
So if a cabin fever person disobeys isolation instructions in 2 months from now they are exposing themselves to many more infected people than now. So if you did the clamp down early you ironically increase risk over the full cycle.
So you can, when you factor the psychology, make people give up normal freedoms too early.
You then have going forward from now those who had the virus but got better, they are immune and so feel they can go out. You’ll get “I had the bug, you did too? Want to go out?”. Then those who are trying to avoid the bug see people ahead of them getting back to normal and feel envious.
So the science has to balance all of these and judge a late enough date to clamp down freedoms so when people begin to rebel the infectious numbers are smaller.
You need either two types of societies. An authoritarian state which has a shoot to kill military state to make everyone do what they are told without question. Or, a country where people trust science and leaders and follow orders without the gun.
Which do you want?

Do they really?
Please tell me the “leader” you trust?
Trust a leader who follows the science and judges the country mood.
Panic can cause a cavalier attitude a couple of months later.
I’d say leaders are mostly doing the right thing. I see some obvious errors but let’s not point fingers now.
Wash your hands!
Yes, this is the best advice
