    This shows how much more infectious CV is compared to 'normal' flu ...

    With flu you usually can be responsible for infecting another 14 people, with CV you can be responsible for infecting 59,000 !!

    According to new info the replacement material is already on the way to Italy in a bus with 43 Italian citizens who were waiting for repatriation to Italy from CZ (Czech citizens waiting in Italy will use the same bus on the way back). Per ministry of internal affairs the amount of Italian material seized in the warehouse is 110 thousand facemask as clarified with Italian embassy. According to the ministry the company was trying to sell the stored material for 100x higher price than standard. It's not clear if they were trying to sell also the Italian part or what was the reason why the Italian part was even there. The investigation is ongoing.

    I've heard here also about 10x price increase from some of the sellers.

    British PM is in a COBR (Emergency) meeting discussing a total UK lockdown as people are not heeding the advice to stay home or practicing social-distancing.

    At least something positive (motorsport-related in a way), Prodrive is producing ventilators for UK hospitals.
