Here is Dr. Inglesby's list of pandemic dos and donts, including the favorite of authority figures -DONT grab a gun.
Inglesby: If we all end up in our homes with guns, then nothing will work. We wont be able to get anything to anyone. You basically would have to imagine scenes of complete lawlessness and a complete breakdown of social order.
My hope and my sense of what the science says is that that is not typically how human beings react in emergencies. There obviously is going to be a wide variety of responses, but I think in general there are going to be a lot more good responses than bad. So Id say that if we get to that point in a pandemic, things have completely broken down and we have all sorts of [other problems] that I dont think a guns going to help with.
Thanks.

He’s obviously never been the victim of a violent home invasion...
