Roberto da Firenze posted this link a few days ago https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries It is getting lost in all the Coronavirus threads. It is very helpful to see a worldwide view.
Webmaster suggests following the CDC link https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html
I understand everyone's anxiety especially if they are traveling soon. But it seems that instead of reading RS's response and updated forum threads, people are posting more and more questions that no one can answer at this time leading to more anxiety. Please understand that I am not criticizing, just suggesting that people read existing links and threads first before posting new questions.

There is some hope on the horizon - https://bc.ctvnews.ca/covid-19-treatment-co-created-by-ubc-researcher-begins-clinical-trial-1.4827835
Hopefully the very talented researchers in countries around the world will come up with a vaccine or treatment soon.

Thanks, everyone. Let's keep this thread bumped up. Stan and I are getting ready for our upcoming Italy trip; while we're not considering cancelling, we still would like to keep informed.
Edit to add: And I feel it necessary to remind people that while over 3,000 people in the world have died from Covid-19, 16,000 have died in the United States alone from the flu this season. 16,000, per the CDC.

I recall the 2009 novel H1N1 (aka Swine Flu) in my practice. It was a global Pandemic that lasted about 16 months. Estimated deaths in the U.S. were at least 12,400. Worldwide 151,700-575,400 the first year it circulated per the CDC. Globally, 80% of H1N1 virus related deaths occurred in people younger than 65 years of age. It was the first Pandemic in 40 years. It will be interesting to see how the Covid-19 plays out. Let’s hope for the best.
