Closest it has reached here is Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Kind of worried right now.
Don't know what my anxiety level will be if/when I find out it has hit either Kitchener or London, though.
I work just outside of Kitchener, and my hometown is in that corridor between Kitchener and London.
In the meantime:
It was initially said that the 2020 Summer Olympics, which are to be played in Tokyo, were going to be cancelled because of the Coronavirus. Then, it was said they would be postponed.
Don't know how much they can be postponed by, though. When the 1988 Summer Olympics took place in Seoul, South Korea, it was pretty much into the fall because of the rain they receive in the summer.

I shit you not 🧐
Two extreme cleaning company vans have just rocked up outside my drum, guys got out, suited and geared up, and gone to a house up the road.
Either someone has Wu Tang virus, or there's been another murder 🤷♀️

Australians are ready. We know what will happen if we all get quarantined. There is no more toilet paper in supermarkets. They have put a limit of 4 packets per customer when they get new supplies. Toilet paper is being sold out of the backs of cars for $5 per roll. Hand sanitisers and masks are unavailable till a shipload from China arrives. I will have to make do with the P2 masks from the hardware store I use when I clean the house. How are the fires going over there? I would have guessed that masks were already in short supply because of the fires. As soon as coronavirus reared its head, scalded koalas stopped getting talked about in the US. The usual with fires. They have all been extinguished by massive floods that also broke the drought which had caused the huge fires in the first place. Yes, the mask supply lines were stretched due to people using masks for smoke. scalded koalas stopped getting talked about in the US.
Problem about charity, it doesn't always get to where it is needed. The Rural Fire Services (almost all voluntary) got a massive boost in voluntary contributions. The problem is that the government has a commitment to fully supply the latest equipment but legally the only thing the contributions are permitted to go to is equipment.

Joker's Wilde Cancelled for what. Japan has around 300 cases. "The overall total now stands at 1,023, of which 706 are from the Diamond Princess cruise ship." We had the toy fare in Nuremberg with a lot of participants from China, and there was/is nothing. Bavaria, albeit one of the largest states in Germany, has next to no infected people. And all youtubers who were there are perfectly fine. But now they cancelled the book fair in Leipzig - with far less visitor from Asia and China in particular. This is all BS. Our media and politicians are utter scum.

blueriskLike anything to do with Science or Medicine - politicians aren’t vile or even malicious. They are clueless and make it up on the run. Usually to the extent that they think it will get them more votes. The electorate thinks it’s bullshit ? It’s bullshit ! Wait, they think it’s dangerous ? Make up some shit and declare it dangerous ! They have no idea....

I think I'm gonna buy some toilet rolls tomorrow, if i can find any Literally every single package of toilet paper was sold out of our local Costco. Usually they have a pyramid of toilet paper where I couldn't reach the top packages and it's got to have a 15 foot base. Every single package gone.

New orders before Friday morning Mass just now.
The bishops have moved to Stage 2 virus precautions...
Holy water stoups removed, sign of peace is non-contact, no tongue people, wafer only no wine, if receiving a blessing sign of the cross made in the air not on forehead. Everybody to hand sanitise on entry and exit to Mass.

I don't know how things are done over there - but over here we have 'community Bibles' which are in the pews.
Also - when you kneel - take a towel to kneel on.

Anybody else just use their hand to wipe themselves?
I mean - you're going to wash it anyway, no?
I mean - sometimes you wash it ......

People here take their own Missal to Mass rather than use a Bible. We do have communal Hymnals though 📖 😷 I've got a plan to get a whole pew to myself on Sunday, just cough and sneeze a few times should do the trick 👍

No panic buying here 🤷♀️ The shelves are groaning under the weight of bog roll. I'm thinking of buying loads, and exporting it to Australians... A pony a roll, plus postage.

I have a half 8-oz bottle of hand sanitizer, and my sanitary wipes turned out to be all dried out. Don't feel like getting gouged, so I don't think I'll bother trying to get any.

Aren't there a lot of Vegans in South Korea and Japan?
How do you account for the death pool there - lack of protein?
Their immunity is weaker?
