    Just went out to the non-stop supermarket - it's 1AM here - as I did most of nights this week for obvious reasons...

    Was surprised that only the breads disappeared from the shelves - and 2 people stocking up on water but nothing serious, just 6-packs.

    The supermarket people wearing gloves, all spirits high, joking, no panic. Lots of toilet paper to go around.

    Bucharest, Romania, Eastern Europe.

    We have about 40 confirmed cases in the country (probably more under the radar but nothing serious yet) and half of those here in Bucharest.

    It was in the news that one guy left the quarantine to go to city hall for some papers, but a neighbour stopped him and beat him up to stay put!
