Panic buying strips store shelves...with one woman turning her basement into a 'supermarket' and a man buying a YEAR'S supply of food which includes 192 tins of SPAM.
Eating that much SPAM will kill you before the coronavirus.
Though, I am stockpiling on plastic bags (in prep for the bag ban, nothing to do with the coronavirus) and toilet paper...
Two People in New York City Being Tested for New Coronavirus, Health Officials Say.
State Health officials are now testing two people in the city for the new Coronavirus. They are among the first to go through the state lab and officials say that will help speed up the results.
Sunday night, former Mayor Michael Bloomberg plans to talk to the nation about the virus during a three minute televised advertisement set to air around 8:30 p.m.

From your lips to God's ears. I hope this is all hoopla over nothing. My mom hasn't gone out on her daily treks for a month now and she's getting cabin fever; giving me stress.
