@dfdub There's also the possibility that it's already spread so widely that it's approaching saturation.
With so little testing it is difficult to know.

Sounds like wishful thinking (especially since the majority of tests are still negative), but we'll see.

@PotatoEngineer I like the Primitivo. Ever tried those?
No, I haven't; I'll give that a shot. To be honest, I don't drink terribly often. My wife is apparently some sort of supertaster, can't stand any kind of alcohol (even heavily-flavored stuff like strawberry daiquiri!), and hates the smell of my breath when I drink. So I usually drink when my parents are in town, and they already know what they like. The upshot is that I really haven't tried a variety of wines. (But I do have a couple of fairly-sweet meads from the last time my parents were in town and we went tasting.)

You certainly have a point, and at a time when I would visit skanky bars I would occasionally make the judgment call that my crotch was cleaner than the sink and not wash my hands.
The problem in such situations is the urge to clean your hands before you touch your crotch. An unsolvable dilemma.
I have no such urges..
Well... you're not married either, if memory serves...
You are correct. But what does that have to do with cleaning your hands before masturbating?

If it's stable, the increase in cases is due mostly to an increase in tests.
That's a bit of a stretch. More likely, it'd mean that the virus is spreading at a constant rate, which would mean the current measures are working as intended.
Constant rate and "increase due to increase in tests" are basically the same thing in terms of severity. It means it's not spreading exponentially--that either we're picking up more of them because we're testing more (those people were already infected) or because R0 ~ 1. I'd say the second is better than the first, personally. The second means that we're at the peak of the (current) infection curve, minus any further flare-ups. So I was being pessimistic in assuming that we're on the left side of the curve, in the exponential growth part.
At least if I'm thinking about this right, which is always doubtful.
But I did make another mistake. If the numerator (total positive cases) stops going up, we're done with the infection. Because this is a strictly-increasing, integrated measurement. Basically a running total.
Considering that the social distancing measures are only just really kicking in (like in NY), I'd expect a delay in the inflection point (of about a week or two). We've had our inflection point just yesterday (and we've been under lockdown for two weeks), and today's new cases are less than yesterday's too, so it looks like the curve is really flattening (I'd give it a few days first though).

Slight tightening on the rules here. Casinos are now under the same rules as pubs and restaurants. Contact professions in the beauty sector (hairdressers, manicurists, etc) are no longer allowed to perform their professions. Both of those to the same end date of 6 april we've been hearing so far.
The kicker: A prohibition of aggregation above 3 people all the way till 1 June. I guess they got tired of all the public discussion on whether and how certain events (primarily the football competition) would be tied up. If this also applies to athletes training (and I haven't heard anything on it, but as I read it it does) this effectively nukes all sports competitions till the summer break, as well as any Olympic participation this year (since they won't be able to get back in shape in time).

Yeah. I'd expect a couple week's delay. But more info is always appreciated, especially when it doesn't confuse more testing with faster spread. And I'm a bored data hound on these sorts of things

UK is effectively in lockdown as of now.
Quoted directly from BBC News:
- From tonight, people in Britain will be allowed to leave their homes for only “very limited purposes” - shopping for basic necessities; for one form of exercise a day; for any medical need; and to travel to and from work when “absolutely necessary”
- People are warned not to meet friends or family members who they do not live with
- Shopping is only permitted for essentials like food and medicine, and people are advised to do it “as little as you can”
- Police have powers to enforce the rules, including through fines and dispersing gatherings
- All shops selling non-essential goods, such as clothing and electronic stores, are ordered to close
- Libraries, playgrounds, outdoor gyms and places of worship are to close
- All gatherings of more than two people in public - excluding people you live with - are banned
- All social events, including weddings and baptisms are banned
- Funerals are not included in the new restrictions
- Parks will remain open for exercise but gatherings will be dispersed
- Restrictions “under constant review” and will be checked again in three weeks. They will be relaxed “if the evidence shows we are able to”

You said you don't like astringent, high tannin content wines. I don't think you'll like the Primitivo much (it's my region's most popular wine, I know it very well). It's basically a Zinfandel (or rather, it's the other way round). Like most hot weather wines, it's very strong and full, with lots of tannins. It used to be considered as a lesser wine, and generally used in a blend with French or otherwise Northern cultivars (Primitivo contributed body, the Northern cultivars provided taste and complexity). With wine culture becoming less "highbrow", and with a revaluation of "popular culture" (and also wineries that focus less on yield and more on quality) the Primitivo has seen a sort of redemption. It's best suited with barbecued meat, rich dishes, that sort of stuff.

We’re orders of magnitude away from saturation, IMO. However, without slowing down “orders of magnitude” is also just weeks.
Let’s hope we can achieve turnaround with the social distancing thing instead of saturation.

And no, my hand washing has nothing to do with masturbation specifically. You said "touch your crotch". If the only time you do that is when you masturbate, then I'll have to assume that you pee sitting down. I don't, which means that I wash my hands before emptying the bladder.
And afterwards too, of course, to satisfy the customs of those around me.

Dude, if you get a hard-on from urinals and/or urination (or are able to get a hard-on in public restrooms), then this is definitely kink thread material.
Unless you're a marine or similar(ly deprived).
Also, you might want to have your prostate examined.
https://www.healthline.com/health/peeing-during-sexWhen a man has an erection, the sphincter at the base of his bladder closes so urine can’t pass into his urethra. This means that most men can’t urinate during sex.
Men who’ve had their prostate removed surgically to treat prostate cancer very often experience incontinence, which can include incontinence during sex. They’re most likely to have leakage either during foreplay or when they climax.

Conflicting claims:
The researchers found that the proportion of people with blood type A was significantly higher among the group hospitalized with COVID-19 than among the general population.
Moreover, the current study, which included data only from very specific populations in China, did not account for some confounding factors, such as that blood group distribution varies by country.
Unless in the first sentence "general population" actually means something like world-wide instead of the general population of the researched area. That would be a glaringly stupid mistake and mean the entire study is pure garbage. Should be easy for others to verify.
