I went to the mall today in Sydney (Westfield) to buy a pair of running shoes (because I'm going to run, virus be damned!) and Every. Single. Shopping. Cart. has a huge 36+ roll toilet paper pack.

My company has contingency discussions about what happens if there's a lock down (not out of the realms of possibility in super cautious Australia).

Despite this thing being in 90+ countries, best estimates are in low 1000s of deaths. Numbers do not indicate apocalypse. I have immunocompromised friends and relatives and of course do not wish this or any other serious illness upon, and of course, we haven't had a global pandemic in a while. But let's wait and see.
