I was thinking about that too - and all the articles about the Chinese ghost towns. Few people are going out most places where the epidemic is raging - society basically came to a stop.

Now granted, the articles are anecdotal and not statistically representative, so there is some extrapolation in these assumptions. The actual numbers are probably somewhere in between.
