Corona Virus...I live in Australia, nobody's even talking about it much

And we don't have a shortage of hand sanitizer or face masks...nobody seems bothered.

There have been 31 cases in Australia as far as I know...and compared to the UK's 51, that's high considering how small the population in Oz is.

I'm curious as to why nobody here is panicking....I'm not seeing posts on Facebook about it among my Aussie fb friends but I am from my UK fb friends....

The Grand Prix is now cancelled. Any gatherings of over 500 people to be banned.

The cancellation, while the right decision, was handled incredibly badly.

People were outside the venue for ages waiting to go in, with no information. Many people in a small space.

It shouldn't have got to that.

Yes, it was a debacle. Wish schools and universities would shut down now.
I'm running a government agency training program next week with 30 people in a room for three days. My boss is adamant it must go ahead.
