Was wondering about the response in Austria, thanks. Haven't seen much over at ORF.at. I have older extended family there I worry about.

Austria isn't as badly hit as Italy, despite the short distance to the most affected regions in Italy. They took quite drastic measures early which hopefully slows down the spread. It also helps that much of the traffic from Italy continues on northwards towards Germany and therefore bypasses the main population centers in Austria.
But as in all countries by now, older folks should stay home and self quarantine whenever possible.
