Yeah, the panic reactions will start soon, once a couple major things close, people will start reacting to that.

totally, just closing all schools nationwide for most of the month sounds somewhat extreme

my counterparts in beijing didn’t really work from home much until this thing hit; i’ve gotten the impression that doesn’t happen to a large degree in japan either?

Isn't home computer ownership very low in Japan compared to the US and Europe?

Can sombody tell me why everyone is posting that BNO News twitter account as if it's anything reliable? Looking at their website it just seems like garbage clickbait bullshit. Like just go to bnonews.com and have a look. Sure, they did win the "Twitter Shorty Awards" in 2009 according to wikipedia but it still seems like something nobody with half a brain should trust.

All they are doing is compiling info from other news orgs and health boards and such. I haven’t seen a dubious source among them yet for the European news, though I haven’t been checking them all. But you can if you want to!!

I strongly disapprove


Can I say a serious thing?

Media here in Italy are now going full negationism-mode, because it turns out closing down a bunch of factories + all bars/pubs/stadiums/entertainment venues in the most populous and most industrialized area of the country is Very Bad for the economy, and even a couple days of curfew or forced shutdown is causing capitalists all over to wring their hands so much that they're likely to break them (their health is guaranteed anyway since they can afford the best cures, so why should they be worried, of course the peons must keep on working to ensure they have enough money to actually pay the top doctors and whatnot!)

And so, since our politicians are not corrupt or unlawful in any way of course, everyone is now saying to stop testing people with mild symptoms, to only report cases when they're in the ICU or dead, and so on so we can reopen the cities and the factories, God forbid that loving FiatChryslerAutomobiles has to stop production for one day and lose money

What I'm saying is, gently caress all this, pls Corona-chan come and wipe us off the face of the Earth, we're better off this way

Lots of Dutch people, including the Dutch CDC, continuing to say that there is nothing to worry about and that even discussing this too much is alarmist hysteria, meanwhile

japan closing schools seems like an odd decision given it doesn’t seem to impact the young much at all; e.g. sounds like panic

kids are basically little plague rats. keeping them from congregating and snotting all over each other probably is a good call.

BIG HEADLINE posted:

Internet might suffer a bit if people start teleworking/shutting themselves in. People are going to use less electricity at home than they would be in an office building. No reason to think water infrastructure would fail wholescale, but if enough work crews get laid up and water mains break, certain areas could be without water or on boil advisories for a while.

Pretty sure the water and lights have stayed on in China, aside from the service disruptions that are a fact of life there.

I think this is an accurate assumption. The rural parts of USA have less public utilities automation and fewer employees so when everyone gets sick things might get bumpy. Not to the point of week long water shutoffs, but there might be interruptions and it's good to be prepared.
