The 3 games are great stuff for the hide list :-D
In germany are 3 cases 20km far from me (+ around 15 -or more right now, i am not good informed- somewhere else) and i was last week in the same clinic as, at least, 1 of the cases. Because of a Uniclinic i expect that all 3 cases are treated there.
All people around that i hear have fear, buy a lot of food, soap, desinfection stuff, toilet paper and and and.
I look at them as they are crazy. I hoard nothing, i buy no extra soap, i make nothing different as before.
Because of my chronic illness i washed my hands much more as normal people, looked more at hygiene and i have anyway no chance against it if it hits me because of my immunsystem suppression injections each week (bad combi in such cases).
But i expect NOTHING. The reaper have fear of me ;o)
Next appointment in that clinic in 15 days.
After that a OP appointment, in that clinic, soon (i expect in 2-3 months) to cut my complete thick bowel out.
Something very bad can happen each day, at each time in someones life.
I am not in the mood to have more fear now because one illness risk stuff more.

and medics know that you was in contact with one infected of coronavirus??
Comment has been collapsed.
I was not in contact with one of the infected ones.
I was only in the same clinic (they have 2000+ people working there... so it is a big one)
But people here 20km away from that clinic are complete crazy with desinfecting everything (money as example), have gloves, something in front of the face (mouth and nose) and so on.

you need to think "big" even if it's 20km it's nothing, if any of that 2K people got infected can spread it easy, remember it started on china, a lot further than 20km.
people are crazy?? mmmm more like uninformed.
maybe if people was better informed on who die or not all that desesperation will change, because until now we don't know who die (old people ?? young??? etc.... that tipe of information), if i'm not wrong there's just a 2 or 3% of infected that die, it's a really low % and we can "think" that the 99% of that low % are old people or people with another problem behind it (like your problem for example).
but they don't inform about that things, they just spread the confusion and worry all over the world, i still don't saw any news in TV saying how many people are cured, only how many die or infected and how fast it's spreading over the world and how many fear we need to have about it.
in my country there's a "phrase" ---> mas vale prevenir que curar (it means something like -----> it's better to prevent than cure)
that people you call crazy are people that prefer to prevent than cure.
you talked about desinfecting money, you can't know who touched that coin before, and money it's a thing that move from people really fast, you touch that coin and then later you touch your nose for anything, then you are "infected".
i can't explain really well with english language, but you can get a little idea of what i want to say.

well, we woke up today with almost the whole north of italy closed by government degree, we can't go out of our provinces in which we reside.. we're in a complete chaos and I think this is spreading in other European countries too although I'm not seeing many posts about this issue here =P

I think it's about the games too and people not wanting to "promote" that, in my hometown too 3 people found to have it and 1 person (elsewhere) also died. :x Maybe a new topic with a more neutral discussion topic about it could help for those wanting to discuss it.
Then again when you got half of the population just treating it like a flu, and not wash their hands etc then yeah you can expect this...
Comment has been collapsed.
you're right! and I'd love a neutral discussion since it seems that so many country are affected by this nowadays, not only italy, china and korea.. it would be useful to spread some neutral and important information, as you said too, about the right behavior and so on =)

Well everyone is free to open a new neutral discussion. ;) :) (cough cough, sorry i shouldn't do that here maybe.).
Even in a men's public toilet when they pee, grab the door handle, then the faucet, then wash their hands, just one example how people usually are ignorant/not even knowing when they aren't even performing good hygiëne.
Not to mention cough, and touch a piece of fruit in the supermarket so on so on, even kids with their dirty shoes and bottom when they are put in a shopping cart.
So the consensus of washing your hands a lot is just not gonna help i am afraid. ;x I got a mother who doesnt wash her hands, and a colleague that just sneezes and coughs without also not washing his hands, and a tought of if it happens, it happens if we all die. :x Not like my life is so great but if it goes better i want to become atleast 100 thank you. I need to finish my backlog of 8500 games after all. :p

A surprising 38 percent of beer drinkers insisted that they would not, under any circumstances, buy Corona as the deadly virus spreads across the globe, according to the survey conducted by 5W Public Relations.“There is no question that Corona beer is suffering because of the coronavirus,” Ronn Torossian, founder of 5WPR, said in a statement.
There is no known connection between the beer and the virus — except for the name.
My GOD people are dumb

yeah, we have bars and restaurants closed since these days too so everything's affected =\ and they keep on saying that it will affect the whole europe soon as it's happening here =( and people are so dumb with their behaviours =\

They also say when it gets warmer it would pass away, i am not a scientist so either that will happen and hopefully it will all go away again, or yeah if it's heat resistant then it will affect europe big time, i'd suggest everyone stock up on some food, i am trying my father too but he isn't really buying it yet (he goes yeah maybe a few more cans, no stock for 4 weeks or something, it doesn't spoil for a long time anyway). Mouth caps before they get too expensive too, better be prepared.
They say it will hit the old and weak more then someone who is healthy, but i had the flu even after getting a flushot plus the whole insomnia thing making my resistance low, and offcourse one still worries about their parents too.

yeah, we had some experts/doctors too telling us the reasons why with hot temperatures it will eventually die, I hope so but I fear that it will affect most of Europe like it's going on in Italy, and it seems also that they found in Munich the first contagion that eventually spread towards Milan a month ago.. so your suggestions are great, I'd advise everyone to take example to what happened in Italy.. in the first days masks soap gel and so on went all sold out so one has to be prepared, here few people are dealing seriously with the emergence and our government is completely incompetent (as always, in Italy..).. anyways we had for instance tons of people living in the North of Italy but with families in the South that filled up all the trains and planes and eventually brought the virus in the South of italy too.. =\ for the mortality anyways here we have some "good news" since no one of those who died had no other previous illnesses and the median age of those who died with the coronavirus was 82 years old, most of them were already hospitalized or in critical conditions but of course I worry about my parents too, especially my father who has other illnesses (like leukemie).. it's fundamental to be prepared and I'm sure most of the governments in Europe are way more prepared to deal with this epidemics rather than the Italian one, but it's a serious issue.. as I said here now we can't even go out of our provinces (which are quite small territories) and universities and school will be closed for other 2 weeks =\

I wasn't expecting this, definitely.. people are so dumb!

Not sure if it is true (as it could be company PR/ etc), but apparently the CEO of Constellation brands (the owner of the corona beer brand) made a statement that their sales are up by 5% since the last year, and that the survey results from 5WPR were not reflected in actual retail sales. So it could be misinformation/ clickbait, to get people to read the article/s for some of these media outlets.
Although make sure to do your own research, and not just take my word for it. I found several sources, one of which I linked.

It's currently one of few random games given free on that site ending with .su. (can't be named due rules) although for some reason we can mention them fine in that thread "where they come from?" Always a bit double..
Others are Furry Stories: Alpha-Male or Block Competition.
Meanwhile the Corona beer brand is taking a big hit in sales: https://nypost.com/2020/02/27/americans-are-avoiding-corona-beer-amid-coronavirus-outbreak-survey-finds/
