This Q post about silent running was especially interesting to anon
Wiki:
Silent running is a stealth mode of operation for naval submarines. The aim is to evade discovery by passive sonar by eliminating superfluous noise: nonessential systems are shut down, the crew is urged to rest and refrain from making any unnecessary sound, and speed is greatly reduced to minimize propeller noise.
Sounds a little like what we're currently experiencing with this Coronavirus event.
Nonessential systems shut down
(Cancellations and closures of events and organizations)
Crew urged to rest and refrain from making noise
(People are self-quarantining at home)
Speed is greatly reduced
(Life as we know it has suddenly changed drastically)
