FOr my part no.I dont remember having seen news about China power lines down during the event.
It's like a wave, not like a shock. People have time to gracefully shut down or turn up things if ever there are problems in some grid.
But it's always good to keep things charged up.(there are also the unknown dimensions but it's not possible to talk, one can imagine anything, including the best things)

Somewhere else (FB) I saw someone snarking that people are dumb because they're buying out frozen food what are they going to do when there's no power for their freezers?! I just don't see that as a likely scenario here but maybe I'm the one who's deluded. I suppose some regions are more vulnerable than others, there was that crazy fire prevention outage in California a few months ago. If we get to the point that there are serious power outages due to a flu I think we'll have much worse problems than our phones are going dead, there won't be any phone network! Or whatever. P.S. I also got the death threat WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! spam but didn't think it was worth a whole new message so, here, I mentioned it in case people are wondering if it's just them.
