"thanks for your heroic effort to spread the panic."

There's no panic, but people should stock up with a couple of months' worth of food and paper necessities now. Stores need time to restock. Otherwise, a real panic will happen after the outbreak here, causing public retail businesses to be flooded with carriers and out of stock.

exactly. Even if we don’t get hit hard we are going to deal with supply chain problems. When that starts people will panic and clear out stores. It doesn’t take much to cause shortages. Not worried long term, but even a few months is enough to be a pain in the butt.
