I don't have data at hand to judge the severity of the disease and how contagious it is, the latest reports seem to point to a higher R0 compared to flu. But amid so much disinformation, how do we know? I'm pretty sure governments around the world have access to real and up to date information from epidemiologists.

Municipalities have been quarantined in Italy lately and 50k people were isolated, this was considered "absolutely necessary" by the authorities in order to contain the virus. They must have good reasons to take such measures, I think.

So despite the comments I hear here and there, based on what I know I'm not comfortable criticizing the measures authorities are taking to try and limit the spread.
