Please take this virus and all of the warnings seriously.
Just a quick point here. We're programmers so we deal with numbers and
we know the difference between data and information. Outside of China,
Italy and Iran, the mortality of the Wuhan virus is a little over 1%
(currently 351 out of 28221). And more importantly, there is no true
data on the number of people who have contracted the disease because
estimates are that as many as 85% of the people who have it don't know.
But the real mortality rate could be much lower.
And sadly, a large part of Italy's problem is a horrible confluence of
an aging populace and a huge number of immigrants from Wengzhou and
Wuhan (many Italian high-end goods are made by imported Chinese labor).
None of this is to say you shouldn't wash your hands thoroughly and
practice some social distancing. But just a little balance. I won't
comment any more, because I can already hear David's voice saying that
this is off topic. :)
