I've been doing some reading about this virus and a few points stand out:
1. Most all viruses tend to be climate sensitive. They love cold weather and usually abate when warm weather rolls in. That's why we take flu shots in the fall anticipating the flu season. If this virus behaves normally it will fade away in a month or two as the weather warms in high population areas.
2. You're not likely to be infected from airborne virus unless someone coughs or sneezes directly into your face. These germs fall to the ground fairly quickly. It is touching surfaces that have also been touched by an infected person, and then touching your mouth, eyes, or nose that is most likely to get you infected. The virus can live on a metal or plastic surface for several days and possibly up to a week. So it is surfaces that have been recently touched by lots of people that are most dangerous. Think of the gasoline pump handle at a petrol station or the door handle to a popular restaurant. Use a paper towel to pick up that gas pump and wash your hands frequently.
3. There is going to be a lot of money to be made if you can gauge when this virus stops expanding exponentially. Buying stocks in hospitality industries like hotel chains or cruise ships will be a sure winner as we come out of this.

All gone mad here in UK, Government being very slow to respond, But Wales/Scotland/Ulster bringing in there own area Regulations; Main Sports Organisations has brought Most sport to a standstill, Infection Rates and Deaths rising but (So Far) not as fast as Most of the rest of Europe.
Im Voluntarily Selth-Isolating as I dont Believe a thing this Conservative Government says, Think they are holding back a Lot of Information. As How come China has Won the Battle & Russia has so few cases, Perhaps Communism is the Better system.
Shop shelves are empty, Hand Sanitise is impossibly to get, And Toilet Rolls are now very hard to come buy, soon be cutting up squares of Newspaper to use in the Bathroom.

Well I have not run out of anything so far. I am lucky I guess in that I have more than just the city to do my shopping. We have smaller more local stores that also supply the essentials. Keep safe out there everyone

I don't have a fever and that is what is important and I wear a mask when I visit the Doctor by taxi.
