this topic is to focus on status updates & advice (no opinion or politics please).. status.
latest status is that it's serious, probably isn't going to be contained and most large companies are making contingency plans, cancelling large events etc... which i don't think would happen if it was just people being alarmist.
the incubation period means it may have already spread further and infected many more people than are currently known, so expect jumps in the numbers over the coming days and weeks.. tracking.
I was talking to a friend who is from China. She owns a local restaurant and was telling me that the reported deaths is not accurate. The crematoriums can not keep up with the dead in Wuhan. I asked her what does she think is the death toll? Her answer was "Whatever you see the Government reporting, multiply it by 10!"
***EDIT*** LongHairGal I didn't see your reply until I posted mine. I guess we both heard the same thing independently.
looks like a combination of plaquenil and antibiotic azithromycin can be used to treat covid-19 infected individuals!

so greta thunberg thinks the world pollutes too much.
specifically, the parts of the world that pollute the least and have the cleanest industries.
she doesn't seem to care about india or china who are the biggest polluters by far.. "how dare they".
This article talks about that and a few other benefits....no thanks to GRETA!
possible cancelling the memorial after years of experiences of bro/sis under nazi , communist oppression and many other countries still conducting the memorial under threat of death that the governing body is listening to the superior authorities regarding this virus pandemic.. could it be that after taking control of the k/halls that the branch/governing body would be responsible for any disobedience to the civil authorities and liable for any deaths.. they would have left upto the local body of elders and encouraged obedience to god rather than men and a lack of faith in jehovah to protect his people..
Here in my area i hear they are planning for the memorial to be held at the different service centers, that way they are under 20 at each place. All I know is if I was one of their neighbors during this time I would be very suspicious with 20 well dressed people going to their house.

I just went to my local grocery store and bought toilet tissue (not my usual brand though) eggs, milk, and bread. The meat department was fairly bare, but was able to get pork chops (which I did want) but no ground beef. I checked the paper towels since they are next to the toilet tissue and they were low. I don't use bottled water so I didn't check on that. Interesting note....they had employees wiping down all shopping buggies with a bleach solution after you were finished with it. Funny thing, at 1 pm local time it was empty of people. I saw maybe 8 others shopping. But I am now good for at least a couple of weeks. I wish people would just use good sense and judgement and stop freaking out.
looks like they pulled the plug on the streaming service 24/7 .

let's see what "mother" directs in view of this latest news..
Friends,
In line with Branch directions, consultation with the CO, and based on the national, state and city declarations warning against large groups and public assembly due to the COVID-19 outbreak, a decision has been made to cancel all our Christian Meetings until March 31, 2020.
Field Ministry ActivitiesAdditionally, we will be suspending all public ministry (e.g. door-to-door, cart witnessing, invitation distributions, etc.) activities until further notice. Arrangements will be made through each Field Service Group to distribute letter writing or phone witnessing territories. In line with directions from health officials, please do not lick the stamps (use a damp sponge or another similar methods). For Return Visits or Bible Studies, the recommendation is to conduct them via either phone, email, or video conference or through some other appropriate remote communications.
The Memorial
The Memorial previously scheduled at the Assembly Hall has been cancelled and there will not be a campaign to invite the general public. Further arrangements regarding the Memorial will be communicated at a later date.
