We do not know how far this COVID-19 threat can take us. The death toll are increasing. New cases are emerging at anytime of the day. One thing is certain at this time, no available cure for the virus yet. I think at this height, we need to start stocking up foods and other essentials while we can.

@yoalldudes Just in per GMA network breaking news another case confirmed. The wife of the another Filipino man infected with the virus is also positive. I think there's more to come especially those who have close contact with this people.

I have stocked food, because we live 6 Km from Italy and there are 4,000 contaminated there.

@LadyDuck Let's just hope that we can evade infection by exercising extra precautionary and prevention measures.

Oh yes, that is wise since Italy is just a neighbor of Switzerland. Take care over there Ms Anna.

I would not necessarily go crazy. But then, it's different from country to country. So far in my country, all 15 suspected cased tested negative. Fingers crossed. But we have enough provisions just in case.

@ZedSmart Thank you :) But obviously, unless it's contained, it's only a matter of time before it arrives here. It's truly the stuff of nightmares. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

The current virus threat. Yes, having no enough means is a problem. We can only hope that this will end soon.
