Scared of the virus? No, it is what it is. Scared that healthcare systems will collapse and that there will be serious unforeseen economic implications in effectively "winding down" the world for a few months ... ? Well, I'm not UNconcerned .

Also a bit concerned about what supply chains look like when people start to REALLY panic, given that shelves are emptying of basic staples already when not much is actively happening. Today noticed a lack of things like bread, porridge/oats, pasta, rice, eggs. Also supernoodles because people are daft and think you can live on things like that .

And worried that critical services (like mental health services) are at risk of temporary closure... essential lifelines for hundreds of thousands of people, some of whom are going to end up in real danger when left adrift for weeks on end at an unsettling time.

It's never "time to panic" though, what good is that going to do? Panic is only going to contribute to health services being overloaded.
