It already does. Stock markets are crashing. The tourism industry worldwide will take a hit. Olympic games may be canceled. Concerts and conventions are also canceled. If this thing keeps spreading cafes and restaurants will start loosing clients by the dozens, companies will have to rely heavily on remote working and who knows what other economic implications will ensue.
- Fnoord 7y agoSorry, that is not my definition of "testing civilization". Everything you mentioned is luxuries, or has workarounds (e.g. conference call instead of physical meeting). Wake me up when there is a water, food, or housing shortage or significant amount of population infected and dying because of a global disease.
