Economy here in Australia is also being devastated. Visitor numbers are down 30% and universities are missing out on huge cash inflows from Chinese students that form anywhere up to a quarter of the student body.

I'm down to three and a half rolls of toilet paper while middle aged women fight over it in a shopping aisle.

I always thought that when the Apocalypse came it would have more drama.
