Over 5,500 confirmed in USA.

With the lack of testing and undetected people carrying it, we might be at 50K already.

Bidet sales soar as toilet paper sells out amid coronavirus fears

The Tushy classic bidet attachment ($79) fits standard toilets and some one-piece toilets. Doesn't require electricity or plumbing. Just unscrew the toilet seat, pop the Tushy on, connect to water, and you're done.

I’ve seen some tiny ones for cell phones on Sharper Image or Touch of Modern, I can’t remember.

I know our hood at work has a UV light for that kind of thing.

That number will jump pretty high after today being Saint Patty's day.

Madison, WI took some hits today. All Malls, movie theaters, gyms closed...restaurants are drive thru or delivery only.

Library is closed. Hence my main source of seeing new movies is out, well both, as the theaters are done too.

Good thing I have piles and piles of unwatched discs.

Sadly, both my jobs are all about the $$$ and are gonna fight tooth and nail at any closing ideas.

[Chaotic]

Mine too. Fed ex still hasn’t said a word to us about this whole mess.

[MifuneFan]

More and more testing is being done, so even in that regard, the numbers are going to go up a lot more every day. But it's still growing exponentially too. We have to hope the social distancing, and everything else starts to slow it down eventually, but we absolutely need to increase our testing capabilities significantly too.

New York City specifically is just growing out of control, and it's only a matter of time now before the city is on some kind of lock-down. Too many people just aren't taking it seriously enough.

Don't forget to empty the bathtub first.

I prefer shake out contents, bin packaging, wash hands.

He wastes the first 55 seconds bragging about what he restored. I hate youtubers that waste time, just get on with it.

Thats more than enough time for folks to get their essentials.

My mom is the same way and is going to her appointment tomorrow as well.

Remember the days when they'd tell us we don't listen when we were kids? Goodluck to your mom

I'm guessing tonight and the next couple days will be chaos here. Instead of people staying home and away from crowds they will flood the stores together to grab last min things.

Has anyone been experiencing delayed orders internationally yet? I don't have any current releases coming in but I do have the 4K CRASH from Germany pre-ordered from Amazon.de.

Given the amount of time it takes to get to you it seems unlikely... cardboard is less likely to carry it for long (which Amazon JP uses).

8_bit guy is the most bland dude in the world, I think you are mis-interpreting him.

Living in Greece here,almost everything is closed.
This whole thing is just very bizzare.
I had to go to the super market,where I waited a line outside,staying relatively way from the others,take a card,then go inside and try to shop with the gloves and mask and then rush back home.
I have high-risk people in the family,which I'm extremely worried about.
And this is supposed to go on for months?
And as other have said,I have to carefully handle the packages I order from abroad as well.
I just can't wrap around my head that in the year 2020 a disease as life threatening as this could so easily spread all over the world...
