Just curious , why people do not wear a protective masks ? Washing hands is important, but wearing a mask is obviously the most straightforward and effective way to protect yourself from the coronavirus .
Classic mask may not adhere perfectly to the face.
I put disinfectant on the contact edges and skin
I do not have a direct reference to the research, but experts all around the world believe sofar (insights are developing all the time while more data comes in) that the effects of wearing a mask to prevent getting the disease is very limited (the pores in cheap masks are too large, they get damp and useless within an hour, and you contract the virus very easy via the eyes). Although it does help people who already have the disease to partly prevent spreading it to others. Although it was suspected earlier, only in the last week there is hard data that probably the majority of new infections is caused by people who are carrying the virus but show no symptoms yet, this new insight makes wearing masks more meaningful but only if everyone does it (so to protect others). At this moment there is no option to make whole populations wearing masks because in most countries there are hardly enough masks to equip medical staff.
There is not enough masks for everyone, so its reserved for health workers and infected people. Also officials don’t want people to panic…
1266 itali deads today
Data I had reported regards the only Lombardy

I believe djozz is correct. At least what he states is what I believe.
Help is always good 
To be honest, I am more worried for others than me,don’t want enter about the Question of this damn virus…
And now hobby is at end of scale
One thing to know: at least here and probably in many countries the testing kits come from China. I don’t know about the US sources, though.
So, if they stopped production and had shipping issues, it is probable that they are lacking or with delays.
More than that, yesterday there was a report here of an order from a PT company with around 5000 kits was lost in a French airport :zipper_mouth_face: Customs couldn’t locate it… :person_facepalming:
It will have impact on the number of tests that it is possible to do in the different hospitals here…
This is something to have in mind, specially when the “supplies” come from outside.
I found this quote from the Houston Texas mayor rather jocular, “The world is not coming to an end, but if it is, all that toilet paper and bottled water you’re buying won’t get used”.
