The same reason your pilot will tell passengers on the tarmac that the mechanical issue will be resolved in 20 minutes, when it'll really take over an hour.

No, but the numbers in Germany aren't great looking and following a similar path hence the concern. I feel they need to act sooner than later.
Yeah, I don't see how countries like Germany, France or Spain can get away with measures much smaller than the ones taken in Italy. Stay strong brother.
Do you know how insane the hicks and 2A people in all the red states would get about this? They'd consider it a deep state conspiracy and attempt an armed revolt.

They are evaluating if in Lombardia and Piemonte everything, expect pharmacies and supermarkets (possibly factories too), should be closed for at least14 days. This would mean that all restaurants, coffee shops, public transports, offices etc. would be closed the full day, not with restriction like now.
This would have an even more serious impact on the economy, but I feel we got to a point where it is the solution which must be adopted.

It's probably necessary at this point. Going to be really hard for some companies though.

It infuriates me to see some countries see this and do jack shit, no preparation for what's to come. We already have multiple examples now (China, Iran, Italy, South Korea) of how it spreads and how you can't just rest on your ass and wait for it to arrive to make a move.

We have been really un lucky to have been the first country in the West to experience this situation. But the same could happen to other countries as weel if they are nor prepared. Numbers in France, Spain and Germary are already worrying, it seems to me to see the same initial situation in Italy, where we were able to count each single new positive case at the beginning..
Like the Netherlands. One of the last countries to get covid-19. With all the information they have, they did jack shit. All they tell you now is to wash your hands often and since yesterday don't shake hands. All they do is home quarantine. How is home quarantine gonna work? I mean, you go to the toilet, you cough in the hallway, you cough in the toilet and your family members make use of the toilet etc., they go out to work and infect other people. The government let people go to Northern Italy, they let them come back from such places and don't stop them at the borders. They still act covid-19 is nothing. From zero cases to 384. I bet it's gonna be around 500 after today. They are now no.14 with most covid-19 cases in the world in about a week/2 weeks time.
I agree. Germany and the rest of Europe should learn from this. I'm the future we need a EU wide Plan of Action to deal with stuff like this.
Don't let yourself be dragged down by this though. For your own sake and those close to you. Just make sure that you stock up on essentials and also importantly some comfort food.
As of today I am in lockdown with my elderly parents as my father has a slight fever. At the very least my Wife in Vienna doesn't have to work until April but the reaction there is sporadic and nonsensical at best. Fitness centres for example are still open. Go figure. Here in Northern Italy it's relatively calm (though hospitals are completely fucked right now) Since I am allowed to at least go buy groceries I will get to go outside from time to time, though I'm limiting it as much as possible. (Shop is just a few hundred meters away)
Happy Birthday
I don't think they will wait that much longer until they close the schools etc. here in Germany, too, right? They already started closing theaters, no more soccer matches with an audience etc.
If it's between closing everything for a month, and risking tens of thousands of deaths for a slim chance of not closing everything for a month but then having to close everything anyway, it seems like the latter is winning every time.
I can understand the problem. Many people could lose their jobs, supply chains and infrastructure breaking down could create even more dangerous problems and you would create even more panic with even worse outcome (like the prison riots in Italy or people hording even more supplies), if you go all in too soon. This is an important balancing act between keeping society running and fighting the virus, since acting to soon can have long term consequences, even if the virus is already beaten.
Damn man, close your internet and get some fresh air. Nothing you can do except wash your hands and take care of yourself, which you are clearly not doing now.
Haven't encountered that particular one but most audio and "independent testimony" I've seen shared is plain fake news.
that is after testing started in earnest though. What are governments supposed to do? I think limiting free movement of people is one serious breach of personal freedom and should only be done in the most serious cases. The only thing I'm faulting the government for is not stopping large gatherings like in France and not stockpiling disinfectants.

The only thing I found about this is in this article:

I would say (and hope) that the audio you received and/or heard of is a fake audio. And I can confirm that a lot of fake news are circulating, at least in written form, in Whatsapp chats where not young people are present.

At 9.40PM CET (around 40 minutes from now), Giuseppe Conte will announce new updates.
It seems it will be a Facebook Direct, I am still trying to understand how important these updates will be.

Pharmacies and groceries will be open.
Public transports will still work, too.
Damn getting even more serious. Lockdown 2: lock harder.
Here in Belgium they announced the first real measures as well for events, but more impactful are the new nursing home rules. You can't visit the elderly in nursing homes for 40 days. My grandma is in one so we can't see her til after the Easter break. Nurse called this evening to let us know we can't visit anymore.
Also Rugani from Juventus has the coronavirus. Serie A was already stopped but this will likely cause a chain reaction that stops UEFA competitions alike.
