What do you mean by R0?
Indeed, it might be so. I do not know. I am just struck by seeing
the map how it is. I do not know.
My comments should not be read as medical or health advice. There is
some information about R0 at
https://apps.who.int/iris/handle/10665/70863 (Page 15 of the document).
For the amounts of money.
I understand no attendant to IETF Vancouver was not reimbursed; or
they are all about to get reimbursed. (I think?)
From what I understand, there was a full refund. People familiar
with budgeting might look at the matter from other angles.
For the sources of money. Currently several sources of money are
being made available to compensate to many things, such as
tele-work, or 'partial no-work' and many others. There are specific
budgets to SMEs as well. At a high level, China claimed injecting
130M dollar (milliard, i.e. billion in English); America talked
about 50, France about 15 or so. Other countries too. These numbers
are non negligible.
The numbers which you mentioned might be non-negligible. It is
difficult to translate that into quick impact on daily life.

S. Moonesamy
