“That’s all i hear when i go out- Everyone is talking about it”

The panic buying keep picking up:

Fortunately it hasn’t reach nutso proportions so far. Mostly certain items are low/out of stock.

yeah, that could change though- right now, we’re in the very very early stages of the virus- it’s not steamrolling across states yet- as soon as that happens, people will go nuts- Right now the virus is being spread by people that don’t even know they have it- a person can have it for 2 weeks, and have no or few symptoms, but still be able to spread it to others- so folks don’t even realize they are spreading it- and lots of folks likely think they have a harmless cold- so they don’t ‘isolate’- this i think ‘could be’ like a brush fire that is slowly fanning out, but will soon reach a highly flammable fuel soaked Forrest once it really takes hold- then we’ll see people panic- IF that is how this takes shape- it could ‘burn itself out’ of course- but I suspect it won’t-
