What's worse is that they interviewed people at the beach and their response was "the virus is not our problem" 
We also have four cruise ships dock today when they have been told not to come here

..the numbers are on the lower end right now in AU but that could change rapidly if behaviours do not change.

Well our newly elected prime minister is a christian and seems to be doing a good job so far so hopefully that will continue. The beach has been closed to the public but they don' t like that so instead they are gathering at the parks at the beach. They think it is a joke, like no one tells them what to do. It is a free country blah blah blah.

Visitors, guards, other personnel.... but you are right is does show how is has reached all corners which means it is far more pervasive then we realize... ..Italy has had a 6000 increase in one day... this number relates back to approximately 10 days ago when they had just started to hunker down, hopefully their number should start to drop, it will depend how much contact those 6000 people have had with others over the course of 10 days.
Do you see the exponential increase we have here?
So the numbers we see today have to be applied backwards for at least a week, because this virus incubates so long.

I realize that I am blessed more than some, but I disagree that everyone cannot be somewhat prepared for difficult times.
With a little planning and sacrifice of wants, it is not that difficult to have enough food and other necessities so one would not have to go shopping for a few months.
I was taught and have always practiced that one should always save a little no matter how much or little they make.
A dollar here and a dollar there and it adds up over time.
Have you ever really noticed how much money people spent in the supermarket on junk food so they do not have to spend time cooking.

I'm 41 and have worked on paper, since I was 15 (before that I baby sit, cleaned houses, and took many odd jobs and worked for cash) so yes I have been financially able to prepare. I also own a two story home free and clear no mortgage. I have plenty of space to stock things up and prepare.
On the other hand, younger people who do not have their own home and have not had the same opportunities in life that I have do not have or have had very limited ability to prepare. Some of these folks have been living paycheck to paycheck and have had just enough food for the week. No actual way to stock up past that....So the question might be are we who do have the ability going to share with those that haven't in cases of emergency?

I went out the other day and bought some can food items and non-perishable food items for some elderly and disabled people I know, to stock up on and have at home just in case they are unable to get out due to this virus. They are on disability checks and don't have the funds to do so for themselves. I'm trying but I know I don't have the funds to help everyone, and I'm not really sure how this is going to go. Maybe I'm letting, the fact that stores are selling out so quick make me panic for my friends. At one grocery store I went to they said they are having trouble reordering on some of their stock. IDK...but this is really causing a lot of upheaval.
