stay calm and don’t panic

Some folks make a living off of generating panic.

I’m not worried about the virus itself. I’m a little concerned about how the world’s reaction will impact the global economy.

Just a little. My place is a perfect SHTF location. :D

It’s not a matter of panic, in terms of deaths.

If I may be Machiavellian, it is a matter of the supply chain disruptions to the world economy.

Control the things you can control, accept the things you can’t control.

Stocking up on supplies is never a mistake.
Running around in a state of panic is always a mistake.

Well written.

Is the John Hopkins web page:
Coronavirus COVID-19 Global Cases by Johns Hopkins CSSE
still working for others? The cases/recovered/other graph is the only thing that works for me this morning.

Panic is not the proper response to any problem.

Reasonable precautions are definitely in order and the threshold of ‘reasonable’ has been extended by the reality of this virus.

I’m actually a little nervous about getting on an airplane for a 2.5 hr flight down the west coast. Have considered driving.
