From an Asian perspective on this, well a Geordie living in Asia, we've had this thing in Hong Kong now for well over 2 months and life still goes on. People are going to work though it should be noted quite a few do still work from home, people will self isolate if ill, restaurants and shops are getting back to normal but some are still slow or closed (particularly in the Central business district), supermarkets are mostly well stocked and can't give loo roll away now but flights to/from HK are still decimated. Cathay Pacific had only 32 flights in the air around the whole word this afternoon (normally nearer a hundred) and over half or these 32 were cargo. Domestic transport is still a little disrupted, bus companies are parking buses up and giving staff unpaid leave - due to fewer commuters and no school kids, MTR trains are less frequent off-peak and schools remain closed til after Easter. As it stands schools may open for older students around Apr 20-ish. China is starting to open up also if only a little and factories are getting things done.
The Gov't here is now enforcing a quarantine for all incoming passengers from most of Europe, except UK - at least for now. They are more worried about imported cases now rather than home-grown as the domestic situation is fairly stable now. Long story short, this place is still basically locked down and little way in or out (nowhere to fly to !! ) but life within these walls is showing some semblance of normality, people are still working etc, and more returning to work week by week.
I do watch Sky News every day (The BBC stuff we get overseas is pants by comparison) to get the latest info on what is going on in UK and I honestly believe this is only the start based on what happened here. It will get worse there before it gets better but life will still go on, it has to.
