What does corona virus think?

I live in California, my uni has cancelled all classes, same with secondary and primary schools. This happened over the course of a week, and a lot of employers are shutting down too. Entertainment production has completely stopped, no new episodes or movies are being worked on anywhere in California right now, and many restraunts are losing thousands if not millions. More importantly, the working class in many states across America is suffering, because people are flipping their shit over flu++ There's literally no toilet paper, alcohol, food, or anything in any grocery store. America is going fucking crazy and people are spending every last drop of their savings on literally thousands of dollars in food and home supplies.

You've completely misunderstood our situation if you think this is only the beginning... we're preparing by having waves of sick people
@Draxen Who are 'we'? Government, country, companies or the people?
My company is dealing with this situation in a good way, we had a clear disaster plan even before this happened and it has now gone in to effect, core people are being moved into quarintine to continue operations if the unthinkable happens, and we have a spread of the virus in our offices.
I also feel my city is dealing with this in a good way, and even the government. Nothing will be perfect, it's impossible to plan for every single thing. Only problem I currently see is the lack of safety equipment for our hospitals, but that seems to be due to unnamed EU countries banning export.

@Samuel All over the world actually. Same here. My mom is responsible for sorting procedure dates and all that a hospital. And they're cancelling everyone that doesn't live and the region and isn't on "urgent" or "very fast" priority.
It's not because they're not prepared for it, it's because they're very much prepared for it -or at least they're coping well. They don't even allow people into the hospital past the security guard any more without them having an appointment or having a proper reason + all the entry doors have thermometers installed which from a distance measure temperatures and set off alarms in the case of someone having a fever.
Apparently the best prevention method is to drink hot/warm tea every 1h when you've been in public. The virus is not very heat resistant for now and also doesn't move from the throat area very quickly once infected. At least that's the information my mom gave to me as that is what they were told.
