I doubt we would intentionally scale down food production.
But lion's hsare of the world economy is non-essential goods.
Do you need a new TV? Services at a restaurant? Can you skip geting your haircut at friserur? What about buying a new car? Do you need as much new cloths as before if you are mostly locked at home?
Consumption is going to be reduced substantially for anything non-essential. It means large part of the population wouldn't be producing anything (I don't mean material only, also services), because there is no one to consume. This logically means we should be paid less. Government can still keep people up by giving enough money to buy food and stuff, but GDP of the world will be cut by 70% if not more.

Even being a hardcore libertarian, one needs to put that aside to see what can be done right now to reach the most efficient solution.
After things are solved, we can resume studying the best models, but right now is not the time for that. I wish people understood this.

Prediction
- We're going to see a lot of low staff projects finished till the end of this pandemic. This includes open source projects which will probably see a massive spike in commits during lockdowns.

The chinese virus. What an idiot. I've heard it called Kung Flu too. At least call it that if you're going to be a piece of shit about it.
Anyway, we need to go on fucking lockdown country wide. The shit is about to hit the fan and we are not preparing. We're still in lock step with Italy and that's not a good thing. If Trumps dumb ass doesn't step up the scientists and doctors and nurses need to come together and urge him to make shit happen.
Also, Nintendo has to release Animal Crossing NOW. Not Friday....but NOW before it's too late.
These are the real issues folks and we have to be prepared.

UK is starting to cancel reeeeeally unimportant shit like TV shows.
From the Guardian live news feed:
"In an effort to ensure EastEnders remains on air for as long as possible, the BBC will cut the number of episodes broadcast from four to two a week, using already-filmed footage."
TO REMAIN ON AIR, WE HAVE TO GO OFF AIR.
Dat doublespeak. In fact, the whole world has gone doublespeak.
Also, they talk about using already-filmed footage. I can't 100% recall, but didn't Orwell's novel talk about constant repetition of shite on TV. DEPRESSING.

Classic Trump strategy there, use gimmicks and silly names to point fingers and divert the discussion from the real issues at hand. While people are discussing whether China should be blamed and how to call the epidemy, they're not discussing what they expect the US government to do.

Two days in and working from home is killing me. I'm not even sure it's possible to work from home unless you're working on a set task (e.g. coding, copywriting). I'm intermittently picking up my guitar every hour to stop my brain from shutting off.
This is going to be a LONG year.

keraj37 Any chance this can get added to the OP? It's a free article that explains why countries are locking things down, in layman's terms.
Apologies for post without explanation - I was in a bit of a hurry on my phone.

I think I might have to leave this thread for awhile. There's some doomsday scenarios in here that are getting me worried and even if they're true there's not much I can do to prevent them. Just gonna take it one day at a time and play some games to escape and conserve money and resources as much as possible

Mexico under international criticism for coronavirus response
International observers and opposition leaders are warning that Mexico’s government is failing to take the coronavirus crisis seriously, risking a major eruption just as the rest of the world…

wow all of this time I was thinking they had no cases
West Virginia senator: "We have no testing, we are not prepared"
West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin told CNN this morning that he was worried as they were waiting for the state’s first case of coronavirus because he didn’t want people to be “lulled into a false sense of security.”
The state is now reporting one case of the novel coronavirus.
Manchin said the state’s population is vulnerable because they have older people as well as people with respiratory issues and diabetes.
“I thought it was just carnage waiting to happen, I wanted to make sure that people understood that they shouldn’t get a false sense of security,” Manchin said.
“When it hits my state – and it has hit – it’s going to be absolutely catastrophic,” Manchin said.

Yes, the lockdown is helping, but until I see that 3,500 cases /day drop it is still worrying.
Other countries are not on lockdown yet, so I don't see the spread stopped. We will see 20k+ cases globally today.

New York City mayor plans to bring up "shelter-in-place" order with governor today
From CNN's Kristina Sgueglia
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said on NBC's Today Show, “I think an honest conversation about shelter-in-place has to happen,” noting the decision “can only be made with the State of New York,” adding he will be speaking with the New York governor later today.
When asked if he will recommend to the governor that the city do a shelter-in-place while the city faces a growing coronavirus pandemic, de Blasio said he is “almost” to that point – saying “we have a little more to make sense of” first, including how to get people food and medicine, “but it has to be considered seriously starting today.”
Some context: On a local radio program today, de Blasio said his shelter-in-place comments Tuesday were intended to "mentally, emotionally, humanly prepare people for something that well might be happening soon," but he added that he doesn't accept media accounts that he and the governor are arguing over this. He reiterated that the city and state are working closely together.
Yesterday after earlier comments from the mayor on the potentiality of a decision on a possible shelter-in-place, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's office said "any blanket quarantine or shelter in place policy would require state action and as the governor has said, there is no consideration of that for any locality at this time."

Welp, the situation I warned my company about last Friday when they deferred the decision to have people work from home until today happened.
Coworker spent the weekend with a potential carrier, her mother. Her mother is also the caregiver of her aunt, and her aunt just tested positive today. She didn't tell anyone her Aunt was sick until yesterday afternoon when she found out her aunt was being tested for COVID-19, and this morning she found out her aunt tested positive.
Now, potentially everyone in the building has been exposed. Good fucking job.
