Unless everything stops right now. Literally. There's nothing anyone can do to reverse it. All thresholds are long been crossed.

It does seem like we need a complete shutdown to deal with this. This current situation seems like an immediate emergency and not something we will deal with later down the track.

I think all we can try and do is what we can in out sphere of control and influence. Advice and tips are welcome!
