I live in EU.

Things continue to escalate. Work started sanitizing everything and "educating" people on washing hands, etc. Then major conference attendance and non-essential travel was cancelled. Now everyone is told to work from home "until further notice". This has severely impacted certain aspects of the business although I can easily program at home.

Today borders are shut to anyone that doesn't live or work here. I was planning on visiting my girlfriend in Eastern Europe, but that’s all on hold since her country is implementing similar measures.

Some days I’m irritated or indifferent about the whole thing, but I bought some non perishables for my otherwise barren kitchen just to feel less anxious. I was in Asia during SARS and other crises, but this is completely different.
