low rated
I've been sceptical of same of the more extreme rumours about the situation in China, but by any account it's clear that much of the country (maybe about half of the population) is under lockdown, with extreme quarantine measures being taken (still not clear if this has dropped the rate of infection low enough so that the virus won't spread anymore, it's apparently hyper-contagious, and can be spread by asymptomatic carriers).
The Italians are apparently now also intending to quarantine the three towns in Northern Italy where people have gotten ill.
imo it's clear that this thing is going to spread all over Europe in the coming weeks (or rather, it probably already has), really terrifies me. I don't get how so many people can be so complacent about it, the media in Germany at least still don't feature it prominently.
