I'm impressed by the Norwegian health authorities' response thus far, and society's receptability. We have 19 confirmed cases, and more or less everyone who has met a confirmed infected individual is (strongly) encouraged to self-quarantine for two weeks. Working from home if possible, staying off work if not. This means that 100-300 people are self-quarantining at the moment. It's costly in terms of lost time, but it's much less costly than a full-scale epidemic will be. Will be very interesting to see whether these measures work. My gut feeling says we'll have a full-scale epidemic regardless, but hopefully with a lower peak that the healthcare system will be able to handle.
