My boss sent this link out tonight which I thought I would share here if anyone wants to read about whats going on and preventative measures to take.

The scary part I noted in the "Getting your workplace prepared" section was this
While COVID-19 is a mild disease for most people, it can make some very ill. Around 1 in every 5 people who catch COVID-19 needs hospital treatment.

The last situation report, me thinks the Chinese data has some very creative accounting going on there

and from the day before (check Italy)

Here's an example of seriously bad advice:

From Hillsong Church Australia's website:

Bible quote, Psalm 91:9-10 - "Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, even the Most High, your dwelling place, no evil shall befall you, nor shall any plague come near your dwelling".

The Greek Orthodox Church had advice of similar effect.

The catholic church must have the same philosophy, but only applies to those above 15 years old
