I was really just saying it's inevitable and agreeing with the original poster, no panic intended.
For those questioning why people like myself are preparing, I have kids and immunocompromised parents/in-laws who are all in their 70s. The further I can prevent it from reaching us, the better. I know people are going to say it doesn't affect children as badly, but if you've ever had sick kids, you'd understand it's the worst feeling in the world.
Preparation now is better than panic-buying in a month when everyone else will be at the stores. The worst case scenario of having overbought essentials? I just don't have to go to Costco for the next month or two.
