In worse areas, everyone is on house arrest basically and social services workers are bringing necessities to the house, but there aren't enough social services workers so it makes for hungry days between deliveries.
    where are you?

    See the story about the UK "super-infecter" guy that infected 11 other people when he stopped over in France to ski on the way back from Singapore? https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-51459210


    ....
    Mr Walsh, who works for a firm providing gas analysis equipment, from Hove in East Sussex, caught the virus in Singapore and is thought to have infected 11 others at a French ski resort.


    Five of the cases linked to Mr Walsh are in England, five are in France and one is in Majorca, Spain.
    ....

    Move upside and let the man go through...

    Oh I'm in the US. Massachusetts specifically. But the school I teach at has something like 18% of its students coming from China, so things that happen there tend to have effects here.

    So you're describing what your students are telling you about whats going on in China I guess. Not that things have gotten that bad in MA, yet.

    Right. My Chinese students are talking about their experiences over break and their families' experiences at the moment.

    The curve was flattening

    It was

    I thought they'd got a handle on it

    NOPE 16K new cases reported today? It's still exponential.

    Until now, only infections confirmed by specialized testing kits were considered accurate. But those kits have been in such short supply — and so many sick people have gone untested — that the authorities in Hubei have started counting patients whose illness have been screened and identified by doctors.

    The result was a sudden — and large — spike in the overall tally for the coronavirus...
