Not recently, at least in the northwest. Russia is a big country (duh) so those reports might be more common elsewhere.

My 85 year old aunt goes to mass every morning and she cooks for all the parish functions. There are a lot of older people who go to church several times a week. So people of the highest risk congregating together is a recipe for disaster.
Even if your church is still open just don't go. Although it's hard to get some people to understand. They will still go.
So my doctor did tell me to go to the ER. He would not see me in office and I let the hospital staff know that. I went yesterday and was there for almost seven hours. It was a madhouse. Everyone wearing masks and panicking. There was an older woman in a wheelchair who was screaming "Mama! Mama!" and throwing up. She looked really really bad and they took her right back. I don't think she was crazy. Some guy had an 104 fever. There was a four year old with the flu. And the nurses could not find a pulse oximeter for him at first because they were all tied up with people who thought they had wuflu but were fine.
In the waating room there was a couple munching away on chips and soda. She had to be about three hundy with cottage cheese ass visable through her thin, light grey leggings. He was a good five hundred and couldn't even fit in the chair right. The bigger chairs were all occupied by normal sized people and women with kids. So he had to sit sideways. It must have really hurt.
So the guy gets on his phone and asks someone "you outside?". Then the lady goes out and comes back in with fast food. I don't even...
It was like a scene out of My 600 lb Life. How sick could you be if you are ordering fast food from the ER? Go home. You are fine.
There was some manic white trash lady having an argument with someone on the phone about how she did not pull a gun on her boyfriend and she was sleeping in her own bed that night no matter what. She was definitely on meth and kept obsessively going to the hand sanitizer dispenser.
Some ghetto trash was making fun of a retarded guy who was really sick and throwing up. They called him a "crazy ass cracka" and said he didn't need a wheelchair because he walked in.
When I got into the back finally some guy was searched by security because they suspected he was doing drugs in the bathroom and tried to flush the needle.
Anyway, they did an EKG because they have to when you have chest pain of any kind. I also got a chest xray. And they made me wear a mask. Since most of the time I am only coughing when I move around I wasn't hacking up much.
They took five vials of blood and told me I had a respiratory virus. I wasn't swabbed for the flu because I didn't have a fever.
I had a bad respiratory infection two years ago and thought I was gonna die. I ended up with a small amount of collapsed lung tissue. This isn't as bad so far.
I would highly advise you to stay away from the ER unless you absolutely have to go or the doctor tells you to go there instead of the office. It is insane. Everyone thinks they are gonna die right now. The doctor at the ER told me that ther resources are being spread thin because of all the people panicking and coming in. God help you if you have a non-wuflu related emergency and they have to check someone with sniffles because they convinced themselves that they have the virus.
They aren't going to admit you unless you have a fever and need oxygen.
I am gonna pick up my prescription soon. I needed it last night but there was no way in hell I was gonna wait in that Walgreens. Everyone is panic buying. All the toilet paper and rubbing alcohol is gone. Almost all the water is gone.

Yes, but the very first cases in Italy were two Chinese tourists, and, as a proof that we took this shit seriously, the hotel where they stayed had been immediately quarantined and the other tourists who had travelled with them were hospitalized and tested, keeping the virus from spreading. We didn't have other cases until the first Italian infected, or "Patient 1", was discovered in the second half of February (around the 20th) . That is considered the official start of the epidemic in my country. We are still not sure how he had caught the virus. The hotbeds we have now are not related to what happened in late January,
So, it's not like we have full hospitals since late January, or that in late January our intensive cares began to slowly filling up and the government did nothing. The real mess started in the second half of February, with the red zones and the mass testing.

All right so does someone want to tell me why even some people on the right are pissed about Trump's response to the virus? Is this just another case of REEE ORANGE MAN BAD!!!! or is he actually doing something stupid?

He has and he actually is doing something stupid, by leaving the response way too late.

He's the president. Americans have a habit of blaming the executive for everything, regardless of whether its his job or responsibility or actions. No matter what he does someone on both sides will hate it and believe they know and can do better like an arrogant and ignorant Damocles.

Yes, it may indeed be like this. However, the opposition would be 10x worse, since they actually can't do anything - everything, that is effective is also by definition racist, ableist or sexist or some other -ist. Any attempt by Trump to ban travel or start testing people too early, before public got spooked, would have been struck down by some activist judge in Hawaii or some other shithole.
So I guess Trump is best chance of survival for amerifats - in the world of the blind, the one eyed man is the king, in the clown world, the one who honks laughs last etc..

I love how we have to turn even this into a gender competition. Can't just state that the human suffering is experienced in different ways across different groups of people, but that it's still a shared human crisis. Gotta artificially stoke those flames for hits. Drive an unnecessary wedge between the sexes based on perceived damages."Disease affects men more, women are the real victims." - Jewberg

It would be 2009, N1H1 all over gain, Obama waited until 1000 Americans where dead before doing anything. Even then, if he shut the borders and grounded all flights the moment we found about about this shit, they would be bitching about it. Even as Europe succumbs to the Reaper's Dance.

This. It's not like fresh produce that will only keep for a few days to a week.
Unless you just don't have the space and/or are moving, it's just going to sit till you use it.

They're closing everything because having a new virus that hasn't really been documented before, and tracking it's spread and containment is a once in a lifetime research opportunity.
Everyone is taking part in one big experiment. Because the info will be used with stuff down the road like Space Ebola.

Wait what?
I bought a 24-pack maybe a year ago and it's still half unused. Using your 'conservative math', even a single person would have to be using half a roll per day, doing what? Masturbating all day long?
I thought everyone was panicking over possibly having to have a supply for several months, but I guess the actual cause is even more ridiculous.

Women use TP every time they use the toilet.
If that's not clear, women have to dry their slot after peeing.
If that's not clear, use fewer drugs, or more.
