Mod note: Keep it on topic. Random political topics should go in the appropriate thread. This thread is for new and ongoing info related to Covid-19.
The International Coronavirus Breaking News Thread, v11
- This serious topic about the latest wordwide developments on the COVID-19 pandemic is for rational and informed grown-ups only!
- Neither the hysterical "The end is nigh!" nor the ignorant "Just the flu" bros are welcomed here!
- Head over here instead if you are more interested in discuss American tribal politics rather than the actual pandemic itself.
- Don't try to make sense out of the cooked "official stats" from Beijing and Iran, nor taking the fear-mongering/rage-baiting tabloids seriously.
- Refrain from clogging up the thread with off-topic derailments about the flu, empty posts, dumb memes, or regurgitating unsubstantiated conspiracy theories (bio-weapons or otherwise) that had been done to death in the previous threads (v1, v2, v3, v4, v5, v6, v7, v8, v9, v10)
Stay calmed and informed. Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. Be safe, everyone!
