That is a serious concern, but is not an indication of panic.
I live in the third most populous country in world and there have been extremely few cases reported here, though that number is growing. Even still people here are hoarding toilet paper and hand sanitizer like there is a zombie apocalypse. There are already memes about black market back alley toilet paper at $10 per single roll.

Meanwhile the president of the third most populous country is doing his damndest to prevent the number from going up.

- austincheney 7y agoIs that supposed to qualify panic and $10 toilet paper?
- paulsutter 7y agoNobody I know is panicking. It's just a good idea to wash our hands more than usual. You are free to go out and lick public surfaces just to show how smart you are. Everyone will be really impressed. Most likely, few of us will be impacted. But preventative measures are wise. Particularly as a team effort.
