City just released a press release that the guy who got a positive test yesterday was false alarm.

Meanwhile people are still hoarding.
Sugar and flour sold out in nearly every store I've been to.

European patient 1 may have been identified:

Quote

A 33-year-old German man may be the first European to have contracted Covid-19 and to have transmitted it. According to the German doctors, the “otherwise healthy” businessman, known as patient 1, became ill with a sore throat, chills and myalgias (muscle pain) on 24 January. The following day, he developed a fever of 39.1C (102.4F) and a wet cough. However, he started feeling better during the evening of the next day and went back to work on 27 January.

"Community transmission" is when there's no identified path to have contracted the virus. It's super not good.
