The 2019 Coronavirus have caused much panic across the globe! My country was unfortunately third on the list of country with the highest number of infected people. (As I last heard)
We were being “upgraded” to orange level of alert and that sent people panicking and started panic buying!
The shelves of cup/instant noodles and rice in many of the supermarkets were emptied! Not only that face/surgical masks and hand sanitizer were sold out across the country! Rules have to be made to limit people’s purchases.
The virus is more contagious than SARS but luckily it isn’t as deadly! Let’s just hope everyone is safe! Remember to wash your hands thoroughly!!

That is very sad what is happening there. We get things from China here. I read yesterday that they prayed at the Kotel or the Wailing Wall for China. I did not watch the video.
No panic in Spain as yet. Do you think it is a good idea to wear a mask in Carnival to be disguise as Coronavirus??? I thought it was funny at first, but perhaps the joke is too much.
IDK, I’m not offended by the joke, sometimes its good to see things on the bright side …
but I can’t say for others
At first, I thought it was funny because nobody has coronavirus where I live but as there are people who have died perhaps I keep the joke in my head
We still not have Coronavirus in our country. Take care.
You’re lucky! and i hope it stayed this way!!
Wish the virus gets controlled soon!
We get the occasional big snow, and the occasional edges of a hurricane and people go into a buying panic.
stay safe – this is a bad virus all the way around.
It’s quite alarming how fast and far it has spread!
Hopefully it gets controlled soon!
please stay safe! i do hope it is controlled very soon!
Thank you!
Let’s hope we all do!
i suspect the race to the cure and the managed reaction by China may slow the spread.
(fingers and toes crossed)!
Just heard that the number is now on the decline.
I hope so…
we just have another 8 confirmed cases …
That information was not correct The deaths are on the increase.
Yes… it’s actually predicted to go up…
as the virus is quite infectious
Stay safe. We have this same buying when a storm is coming or a snowstorm.
I see, I cannot imagine what will happen if we do have a storm warning …
I guess there’ll be stomping and snatching in the supermarkets!
No panic, no crisis like the one in the picture.
Lol, it isn’t a crisis but there are much panic among the people!
We’ve calm down now, which is good!
