There's still plenty of food on shelves in Australia, but for some reason, everybody has bought toilet paper. The local Costco limited their supply to one bag per purchase, then ran out. I never thought I'd live to see Costco run out of toilet paper.
People are going absolutely mental about a disease that is essentially just a comparatively nasty flu.
The small handful of people that have died from it - and guess what, hundreds of people die from the bloody flu every year - have all been elderly people in their sixties or higher - just like most influensas. Unless you're in a risk group (heavy smoker, asthmatic, or other pulmonary diseases or disorders), you have nothing to - really - worry about.
Also, coronavirus can only be spread through fluids through mucus membranes (like coughing, sneezing, kissing, that kinda thing) - again like an ordinary influensa - so if you practice common sense and don't hug or kiss someone that's under the weather, and perhaps disinfect your hands when you're out shopping or such, you should be perfectly fine.
We survived all the other influensa epidemics, like H1N1, after all.

This could prove popular for slimming, as Han Solo once quipped in Star Wars .
Well, in the novel version anyway., when they had fallen in to the trash compactor.
It's sort of like watching re-runs of " The Young Ones " , where the meals are lentils, cornflakes, baked beans on toast, and cups of tea.
