I just read places in Italy have military on the streets and 5000€ fines for being more than two together or leaving
home with out a valid reason, that shouldn't be needed if people got the message. If that kind force is needed in a
place  hit that hard I don't have big hopes for the rest of the world

The planet can off us as a species almost instantly if the situation arises and no national government has a plan that can cover all scenarios. Knowing how this year is going already it'll be raining asteroids by July.

Yep. Yesterday in the morning capital of Croatia (Zagreb) had earthquake....  5,5 Richter scale. It's been shaking since, 57 smaller tremors since.
Government issued no travel order.

Hope you get better soon and that your family is OK.

Yes. Also, like with many other viral infections, anti-inflammatory drugs are a bad idea in general, as they can make things worse.
If your temperature gets too high to be safe, just call emergency.

Isn't it a numbers game? That is, you can do it if the numbers are low enough that you can achieve it, but once they get too high you can't possibly trace them all and then have to assume it's anyone. In China they isolated everyone so anyone that had it has had it by now, and anyone that isn't suffering doesn't have it. Now they can do contact tracing and make a difference because the numbers are manageable.

Don't know about Germany. If they are contact tracing how do we know it's working if their numbers are still going up?

Here the government research institute that deals with infectious diseases and the likes is asking to
collect all location data from the phone companies to evaluate how well the "stay at home" works.
The phone are waiting for clarification of of the legality

I guess if they trace back the movements of those who are tested positive it could also help map the spread
