Maybe I was just more tapped in, or maybe it's just because I've played the original Pandemic game a few too many times, but sometime after things started to go south in Italy I knew that shit was bad and the world was going to change.

My girlfriend is Italian, and she was following it closely. At first I was dismissive, but as it escalated I started realising it was only a matter of time before it would spread far beyond Italy. When people in the UK were still in deep denial, I was just bracing for it.

My boss at the time was also really keyed in, so it was something that we were all talking about at work, being like "man, idunno wtf is gonna happen."
