Could a glass of wine after each meal sanitise the mouth, the gullet and maybe even the stomach contents?

Now that we have hypothesized about potential health benefits from vaping and drinking alcohol, may I propose a review of the anti-viral effects of sex, drugs, and rock'n'roll? ;)

Some say it's a pandemic and some say it's the end of the world
Well if that’s true baby you might as well be my girl
I hear people talking Sayin it was made by man
I don't know what to believe but I believe you should wash your hands
Edited to add:
That rustling sound that you hear...that's Robert Johnson rolling over in his grave.

As for kids, their parents will not miss the symptoms even if they did.

Their parents may get light or none symptoms, unless they are over 60..
Here they will stay home for a week or two with aspirin and hot tea, and the whole family is off any statistics..

Nice link and info. Thanks.
Here are two links that I thought would be useful a little while back:
The first one explains well the shape of the graph for China once the inflexion point is reached.
However the latest numbers for cases outside China are still exponential. Key is to detect cases that arrived from outside and isolate them before you start having local infections/propagation.
The second one puts the present situation in historical perspective.
Both video start slowly but end up conveying the message: you need to stop all unnecessary travel to isolate the virus and slow the spread between "cells" with public health measures such as basic hand washing social distancing!

Toilet paper shelves are still bare in Melbourne. Pasta cannot be found. Rice is gone. Flour is gone. Last week there were 1,000 people lined up to go inside Costco and when it opened there was a complete and utter debacle. Scott Morrison, the Prime Minister of Australia caused this mess with his comments that everyone should stock up. The very next day the panic buying started. Morrison is out of his depth.
There is no panic buying problem in France. And yet they are in a far worse predicament than us in Australia. There is no problem in their supermarkets. There is an irony here. Australians protest over nothing and never go on strike. The government can walk all over us. Yet we are out of control with panic buying. The French protest a lot and strikes are commonplace, often holding the public to ransom. Yes they are orderly when it comes to this virus. Even the Gilet Jaune thugs are not creating anarchy at the moment.
