I live relatively near to the area that was quarantined and also got a mild cold. But it’s just a sore throat so I decided not to bother my doctor and create a panic.
First case in OWL here.

Whatever I had like nearly zero contact with other people over the last days. Most likely just picked it up by driving home in sweaty clothes after the gym.
Only really scared due my mother having a heart condition.

Are those fuckers hoarding in your area as well?
My brothers wife works at LIDL and some dude went shopping for like 500€ and it took 15 minutes until the checkout was complete.

Hand sanitizer and all kinds of soap are sold out everywhere near me. Canned goods and staples like noodles and rice are also kinda sparse.

I heard that TP shortages were starting to show up, and since I was down to 2 rolls I stopped at Target after work.

There were about 4 things of the "TP so cheap even shitty dive bars don't use it" and some of those baby wipe type things. Then as I was at the self checkout I saw a cart full of stuff, ie the cart with all the stuff people decided they didn't want and employees would have to put back on shelves. In it was a the holy grail, a thing of Charmin! My butthole is safe for the next few weeks of this apocalypse.

Raist · « **Reply #1037 on:** March 05, 2020, 04:17:35 AM »

I don't think it's been explained.

"Patient zero" who supposedly infected a whole bunch of people after a trip to China or another high risk country, turned out to test negative.
Then a fuckload of cases started popping out in a couple of northern towns.

I've not seen anything otherwise, but maybe I missed it.

Quote

More than ten per cent of Prato’s two hundred thousand legal residents are Chinese. According to Francesco Nannucci, the head of the police’s investigative unit in Prato, the city is also home to some ten thousand Chinese people who are there illegally. Prato is believed to have the second-largest Chinese population of any European city, after Paris, and it has the highest proportion of immigrants in Italy, including a large North African population.

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.
