By "ahead of us", I'm hoping to glean some operational experience from
European, or networks in larger cities with a more impactful lock
down.

We seem to be going down the same lines of lock downs, and shelf clean
outs, just a few days/weeks behind what I've been seeing in the news.

I get nervous anytime I hear a school administrator or public official
blast out "or binge-watch your favorite shows on Netflix, and of course,
wash your hands a lot!"

Fortunately the health impact has been minimal here.
