New update. All Australian state borders will be closed by tomorrow night.

--------------------
Internet here is struggling to deal with the huge number of people using it. My own internet dropped out a couple of hours ago and I am currently running slower than old dial up internet. It took several minutes for this page to load up.

There is currently a news update on television about this topic and there's a possibility the internet in Australia could crash.

The internet is currently running at 25% capacity and is expected to go up to 60% next week. At which time people with copper wire from the road to their house won't be able to use the internet. About 95% of homes have copper wire from the road to house.

--------------------
Mobile phones won't be useful next week because the system will be overloaded.

--------------------
The Australian government's Centrelink/ Social Services website crashed yesterday and today. Centrelink is for unemployment benefits. There are currently thousands of people standing outside Centrelink offices around the country and the number is expected to rise. They estimate there could be 8-10 million people unemployed here in the next month. Our total population is about 25 million people.

--------------------
Australian schools could be closed until the end of this year. Schools are having trouble teaching children due to lack of internet facilities. The children can't get the courses due to internet bandwidth and internet crashes.

--------------------
Indonesia could be the next huge hotspot for the virus, with people dropping in the streets. Some are dead and others are suffering from respiratory distress. Indonesia does not have enough medical facilities and 8 doctors and 7 nurses have died there so far from the virus.

--------------------
In Italy more young people are starting to die from the virus.
 
never heard of him.


They only hurt themselves once, unless they are really stupid then they might do it several more times.

Once is enough for serious danger. When I was a child I wanted to please my mum by surprising her with a cup of tea and I ended up scolding my hand!

First child fatality here in the US
 
Any idea how old the child was and whether it had any heart or lung problems?

Kids have been dying in Italy too, which might suggest the virus is mutating as it spreads. If it is mutating we could be in trouble.
 
The news article I read did not say. I know it said a girl.Just said a California child, not how old
 
Not sure if I already posted this above but I looked at the numbers. 1 person is dying from this every hour in New York right now.

From Worldometer, it looks more like 2 per hour in New York.

Yeah and now they’re running to Florida to get away. Suppose to self quarantine for 14 days but if they didn’t obey the lock down in NY are they really going to QT in FL???
 
Isolation and getting away from society and people is probably the safest thing to do if you are healthy. People that are flouting the laws and crossing borders should be locked up for the safety of the community as a whole.
