I agree, not a laughing matter, especially for those here coming soon or returning soon but I personally think the toilet paper (etc.) panic is way overblown as are other aspects of this.

Come on guys. A little levity sometimes is needed in this situation, but not this.

Haven't heard of any screening at the airport or any quarantine facilities being established for travelers who may pose a risk so I expect the alarm level on the island isn't as great as it is elsewhere hence the run on supplies one needs to be in quarantine. This is not overblown at all rather people acting to protect themselves from a very real danger.
