right so they've closed schools and universiteis and forced like half the companies around me to work remote. The toilet paper is completely gone from the shelves and italy has closed all shops except grocery stores and pharmacies.
They've also postponed a lot of big concerts and straight up told peopl not to gether in groups of more than 100.
Its actually literally SARS 2 so whichever one of you said it wasn't as bad as sars is just straight up wrong.

It has an r0 of about 3 right now which means that each person that gets it on average spreads it to about 3 people. The flu is .8 if the r0 is greater than 1 it spreads quickly if its less than 1 it stops spreading.
People are definitely panicking and I expect to be assigned work from home within the next 2 weeks here LOL.
