This disease mostly affects older, not well people.  So children and daycare teachers who are young and healthy are not at great risk of getting very ill or dying. It will seem like a cold or regular flu.
The self-quarantine is to slow the spread so large numbers of really sick people don't flood the healthcare system at once.
So calm down about your children and school.  Be very wary for your parents and grandparents.

Amazon employees are allowed to take off with no questions asked. Then they have the nerve to call mandatory overtime. You can't make this stuff up.

Talking about France, Macron is going to speak at 3pm Est. All signs indicate that they going in lockdown like Italy.
It's official, France goes on lockdown tomorrow noon like Italy. No rent due for corporations.

To be clear, they are saying that if you have symptoms, there is no point in going in to the doctor, just quarantine immediately, as the doctor can't prescribe anything anyway. Going to the doctor puts more people at risk, including the doctor.

They did explicitly say that if someone has severe symptoms or if symptoms persist more than 6-7 days to call the doctor.
They're also saying that 80%+ of the community has already been exposed to the virus.

Even if the number is real - it's exposed, not infected

My friend who lives in France has been posting videos of military vehicles being transported.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Yes, saw the pictures. Probably to help out with the situation, not like China.

Here is a question: how many people have died from this illness worldwide? It’s been around for a little bit already. Are there any concrete numbers.

Amazon is the best thing, people can get everything they need without coming in contact with anyone.

How many people usually die in a single day around the world? Much much more than that.
 Hashem should be protect us and we should do some hishtadlus. At the same time, is it really worth destroying entire economies, shutting down Yeshiva’s and all sense or normal life. What will happen when we are still sitting with all of our kids around and no jobs and Money for anyone. It could come to rioting in the streets c”vs , a run on banks or worse c”vs.   I am of the opinion to open everything up to normal.
I know it’s not popular what I am saying, but we are doing worse to our lives what this illness can ever do

What histadlus do you recommend? I think closing places where people congregate is an appropriate amount of histadlus.

Yup. Actually getting this from daas torah.  And btw All the Gedolim said to keep Yeshivas minyanin open

Doctors are generally very cautionary, which is a good thing. But it must be weighed with the repercussions.
