I don't see anyone panicking here.
There's a discussion of how to take prudent precautions. This virus presents threat scenarios far more likely than many discussed in this forum over the years, a forum of men who are armed to the teeth with defensive firearms. No one is panicking.

So far SARS-CoV-2 has shown itself plenty easily to spread around and its mutating at about half the rate influenza is. So at best it’s likely to be a few years before it would mutate in to something less deadly. But that isn’t guaranteed it might be mire deadly. Or it might be more easily transmissible and no less deadly. |

I'm concerned enough to hunker down with my wife, food supply, toilet paper and c. 35,000 rounds of ammo...
Not sure when I'll go back to work.

OP, not a bad idea if you're in the high risk group. Love the comments from the "oh I'm carrying on living my life" folks. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think you'll be saying that shit for long.

This virus is like a tuned down SARS-CoV which helps expand its reach. It comes from the same reservoir of bats, and appears to have picked up sequences from a coronavirus in pangolins. Symptoms don't manifest immediately and it kills less than SARS-CoV, in or above the range of the deadly pandemic flu many have feared would eventually hit the world again. For SARS-CoV-2 to be outcompeted by a less virulent form, a less virulent form would have to emerge that spreads more efficiently and potentially gives direct infection resistance to SARS-CoV-2 or induces a crossneutralizing immune response. Otherwise there's nothing to make the more pathogenic form disappear. Alternatively, SARS-CoV-2 has to sweep the planet and kill so many hosts that it starts limiting its own spread and a less pathogenic form is more successful in spreading because it doesn't eliminate its host pool. These things take time and significant carnage. With flu, we've been vaccinating against H1N1 for years. We are inducing the selective tools in our bodies to limit the virus's spread.

People that don't want to take precautions should sign one now so they don't take equipment from others it might save, don't expose first responders, doctors, nursing staff and don't waste masks, gloves, etc., in short supply. The fact that doctors are openly discussing a policy like the one cited makes me believe that they believe this is a far greater problem than the flu.
