I'm living in Busan 50 miles south of the epicenter of the outbreak. Here's something in English from the local news.
Raising the alert level to “red” could begin to impact citizens’ everyday lives in ways that include restricted transportation. The government has asked Daegu residents to stay at home as much as possible and avoid traveling to other parts of the country for at least two weeks. The government could also force schools and private academies to go on holiday and restrict the use of mass transit, airplanes, trains, and ships. A further option is to ban large cultural and sporting events and to advise companies to stop selling domestic and international travel packages. http://english.hani.co.kr/

If the above proves to be true, then it is really serious.

Since the table was posted, the number of deaths for Italy has increased to 4. Irans new number of 50 deaths is still to be taken with caution (though new cases amongst those evacuated from Iran point to at least a more widespread outbreak in Iran)

I think a big chunk of people here like data at a glance.
Here's an infographical mapping of infection figures worldwide:

That's already a given for companies that have inherent business interests in China and Asia in general.

US CDC:
Besides China, South Korea is the 2nd country with this advisory.
I'm stocking up w/groceries on a big shopping trip in a couple of days at the wholesale store . Sleep well, eat properly and wash hands often. More often than usual. I reallly don't want to get sick and have to take all that codeine because I have asthma and cough up a storm. It makes for some really uncomfortable london logz... Cross my fingers and hope for the best. I'm located inland so not near Vancouver and Toronto where it is mostly present and expected from what I know.

for those who wish to read first-handed English media and material, I encourage you to read Hong Kong Free Press, a news agency pretty much on par with the local Chinese media. The fastest way to get info, things about China and Asia.

Published by The Atlantic today You’re Likely to Get the Coronavirus
Basically, the article predicts Covid-19 is coming, containments not going to be possible. Vaccine production in 12 to 18 months is overly optimistic.
