There is good news here. The infrastructure has never been better positioned to support this kind of mass event. We can shop from home, work from home, get groceries from home, order drugs, get entertainment, all via IP. The ISP community needs to be ready to respond to the magnitude of what is happening.
If the Internet was as large in 2003 when SARS hit as it is now in 2020 under the Coronavirus, I think we'd have seen the same issues back then. Nowadays, information gets around a lot faster and with more fuss and fanfare than before. On average, by the time you see a shared video clip on WhatsApp, you'll be receiving it from 100 other contacts inside of a 30 minutes. As readier as the Internet is today, part of the mega spread of the fallout from the Coronavirus is because information is not only traveling way faster, a lot of it is also not (necessarily) verified or moderated before being shared with is consumers.
