The logo is real, but it's a different company in Shanghai, not Wuhan.
Reporting from Hungary, Eastern Europe:
We have Zero (officially) reported cases yet. We have 15 ppl outside the country who have been infected. No arrangements were made to return them yet.
I think we are already compromised, we just don't know it yet cos of the long incubation period (here it's 2weeks officially, 26+days according some other sources)
The first wave of panic just hit here in the last 2-3 days. I've been to do the weekly shopping and couldnt find a single piece of disinfectant soap/hand sanitizer.
Only a temporarily out of stock sign.

Masks were out of stock for a over a week. I have some reusable lab grade masks thanks to a relative that I keep for my hobbies (working with paints and such). Not that it makes much of a difference, apparently the aerosolised virus will get through most of the low grade ones you find in drug stores, and mostly because ppl don't wear them correctly. (According to official statement)
The cans section (pictured, 2 shops), rice, and for some reason salt and flour sections were raided as well. Those shelves are normally overflowing with stuff.

Ppl here have absolutely no friggin clue what they should stock up on for a situation like this (buying tons of flour is useless when you have no power/gas to bake it into something edible...), so they buy everything that for some reason makes sense to them. Cans of corn, nah.. Cans of beans, yes. Why??? You can't make a Mexican beans dish without both! lol Also they left a lot of the lentil. Raided the frozen meat section as well. What do they think will happen to frozen sruff if the power goes out?! No sense...
I have some ready to eat food cans and disinfectant already so shouldn't be an issue. It's pretty normal in a post-socialist country to keep some backup. unless it takes months to get new stock, it shouldn't be an issue.
What I'm actually worried about is our healthcare system. You have all seen in real life or on Tv shows like ER and such, where the waiting room is so full of ppl that you cant fit a needle between them right? Now, imagine that taking place in a dilapidated horror movie building or like in video games ( like Outlast). Now remove all but one of the many nurses and doctors that you usually have running around treating the patients.
That's how our hospitals look like on a regular summer day when the worst disease going around is sunburn.
Now imagine what will happen when shit actually hits the fan. It won't be pretty, and with a toddler and 90+ y.o. grandparents, it makes me kinda worried.
Which is bad!
Stress increases the chance of catching a disease! Chill out as much as you can, eat a bit healthy (no, steak twice a day does not keep the doctor away), and practice general good practice of washing your hands, not touching face, the usual.
One practice that is not common but worked over the years at my old studio is not shaking hands, but fist bumping instead! You usually touch yourself with the inside of your hands, not the outside. It's a very slim difference, might not make any in this case, but it worked for us, even in flu season (and nnot sharing keyboard and mice, those are really dirty things)
Anyone knows anything official on how long the virus stays alive on surfaces? All I could find was 2days to a maybe a month, which isn't really helpful.
I got some packages arriving soon, some from Shenzhen even. Should I douse them in chlorine if they were in transit for over 2 weeks?
Something a bit more fun to end on:
