[Attention Surplus Disorder]

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.

My thoughts exactly. In my rural area getting the actual virus would be unlikely, however certain vital supplies not being available would be an issue, like blood pressure medication and such.

I have thrown back a little extra food and the always needed toilet paper and I had a box of N95 masks I used for grass cutting but otherwise I am mainly trying to get my medications refilled on a three month script. I think this virus will show how bad our pharma companies have sold out our ability to manufacture vital drugs when the SHTF.

...it is a matter of the supply chain disruptions to the world economy.

AND, thinking it through a bit further, those disruptions tanking corporate profits the next six months, the stock market taking a beating, and Trump losing the election to a communist.

That scenario scares me to death.
