Not a problem, but my comment applies overall.
I have to say, I've been surprised at the hoarding and panic buying. It turns out there's a book about this: The Psychology of Pandemics. It's not at my library, so I haven't seen it yet.
My state has only a few cases, and they are not near me. I'm not panic buying or hoarding. I don't see the need to hunker down. The only part of my daily life that puts me in contact with people is when I shop at the grocery store. My office is in a quiet building, and we don't really encounter each other much, much less have any contact. I do volunteer at a shelter, so there's a risk, but I'm not going to stop going. But I don't go to sporting events or political rallies, so there's that. And I don't have much contact with my neighbors, who are quite a distance from me (rural area). I don't mean to sound like a fatalist, but whatever happens, happens.
I'm concerned about my adult children, but I assume they are being reasonable. One works out of his house, and the other travels a lot, so that bothers me. And at home she has roommates, so there's that. But no travel, no work. No work, no money. It's a pretty simple equation. I can only hope she's sensible, though we haven't talked about it.
So. No panic buying. No hoarding. No hunkering. Being sensible (mostly). Pretty much as always. That said, I'm following the progress of the virus and will adjust as necessary.
