Are you in panic, buying stuff to survive the corona, like piles of canned food, toilet paper and germicide? If you're one of them, can you explain to me why you're doing that?

Nah. I wouldn't hoard necessities even in a situation where I was personally at risk.

Nope. It's unnecessarily disrupting a lot of people's lives. People need to realize that no matter how stocked up YOU are doesn't change the fact that your chances of getting infected decreases depending on OTHER people's hygiene. You can hoard sanitizers as much as you want, but that won't really help you avoid getting infected if other people can't do the same.

I'm only concerned for generics at the moment, or other things made in china really.

My med cabinet is well enough stocked to not break out in a panic, tough I should get some prescriptions topped up.

It's never wrong to be alert and be a bit prepared ahead of time.

no, just pissed at all the mfs who bought out all the toilet paper at the stores here so I had to have my TP delivered

I'm not, but I did run out of my normal amount of hand gel and a little unhappy to be unable to get more at the moment.

I bought enough food for 2 weeks or so, but im not really afraid of the virus, ecspecially because im young and the symptoms would be mild most likely in the case of an infection.
I don't think it is that unlikely that there will be much, much more infections in the coming weeks though and i dont want to rely on deliveries when im in quarantine.

Nah, I'm good - I'm self-quarantining so I'm not getting it (or spreading it) and I'm probably going to drive instead of fly depending where I end up next

Definitely not. I'll worry about it more when it hits closer to home.

I'm in the UK, so very privileged with having the NHS and a vaguely competent government . Distribution lines will continue to work unless things turn an apocalyptic kind of bad. If I got desperate for loo roll, I'd probably start using newspaper.

Most likely the Sun.

I am concerned about the economic impact though. If I have to pull my daughter out of nursery because of the virus, we're going to struggle with money.
