That's the only reasonable explanation I can think of when it comes to the toilet paper panic. It must be very boring just staying at home.

My take when hearing this is: Whenever someone brings up the mortality rate of age groups, you can almost always dismiss them. They are basically acting like climate change deniers or anti-vaxxers (which I find hilarious being accused of this by one  ) |
This goes back to my point before: most people only have two modes, which are not giving a shit and full on panicking. I know some people can rationally prepare, but most people will just be causing absolute chaos when presented with the truth. People are stupid, as they say.
Like you mentioned before, the "80-17-3" thing isn't the issue, it's the load on the healthcare system. I have a friend in Wuhan and his dad had hemorrhage right before the outbreak. He is currently stable, but he cannot receive any recovery treatments due to the lack of medical resources.
Given some of the more physical abuse Asian populations are seeing... I think it's the people that will get me, not the virus.

Xi's visit does mean one thing: things are getting better in Wuhan, or he wouldn't be paying it a visit. Silver lining, I suppose.
