This is a message from a family friend who works in a hospital in madrid. They have asked that we share this important information with others today. As of tomorrow Monday we should absolutely not leave home for anything not even for bread, because the worst transmission in Spain starts today, Sunday.

This week any positive infections will start to be seen and the virus will be almost reaching its peak, the most highly infections part. Because of this it is very important to stay home and not interact with anyone at all. Be very careful it's very important and very crucial he says this week.

From March 23 to April 3 we must take care of ourselves as we will be at the peak of the virus. The peak is two weeks. Normally in those two weeks all people infected will appear and then there are two weeks of calm and then two more weeks when the virus decreases.

So these two weeks are key and crucially important. These two weeks please do not go out, not for food, not for anything. We need to stay in the house because this next week is critical.

What happened in Italy is because they neglected the most crucial part of the virus – the peak contagion weeks.. and that is why so many cases have happened there these weeks.

Just one person infects 3 people and each one of those three then infects 3 more. As the symptoms do not appear in many people and they are asymptomatic many people are infecting many others without even realizing.

We all have a responsibility not to go out because when we go out and get infected we can infect many people in the family and people over 60 are at the most at risk.

* And finally, do not receive visits from anyone, not even from the same family. This is all for the good of all. Order food and products online and please please stay at home until the incubation period is over.

WE WILL BE IN THE STAGE OF MAXIMUM INFECTION.

Classic hoax format. 

Mention of Madrid is the clue to the disingenuousness of this claimed "Important Information"

I would suggest you read carefully the FIRST paragraph before you dismiss the post.  It states, a friend who works in Madrid has asked me to pass this on.

Even if this was a hoax, what is wrong with staying at home for the period mentioned. Ignore at your own peril but if you do, don’t visit me.

Part of paragraph one.

As of tomorrow Monday we should absolutely not leave home for anything not even for bread, because the worst transmission in Spain starts today, Sunday.

THE MAIN TRANSMISSION STARTS TODAY, SUNDAY.

 AS OF MONDAY,   DO NOT LEAVE HOME.

The post is not scaremongering, not asking for money etc. it’s giving information. I believe the Spanish PM has also extended the self isolation period.

I would think if we were learning lessons from Italy or any other country and this science was even suspected as being correct the choice to go and buy a loaf in these circumstances would not be ours to make. We can only trust and take the advice offered by the relevant authorities as it becomes available. People are anxious enough without unvalidated  information being reproduced.

The last official update made it clear under the heading 'Responsibility and discipline'Sanchez has also warned of the danger of spreading false news or advice contrary to scientific authority' 

In the event of changes to the current advice we shall be told and required to deal with it.

Why so many  negative responses - regardless of what others say, it is self explanatory advice, not information to be debated as right/wrong...? Any one person can pass on the virus to 3 others, if that one person stayed away from everybody then it could mean that those 3 people are not infected, and then others who are linked to them too. We all need to apply common sense here, govnmt & medical advice is given out to heighten the seriousness and ways to help us all get through it, so listen and take heed everybody
