Wuhan Flu is turning into Moo Goo Gia Panic

As flu cases go, this outbreak is an oddity. It is spreading far faster than most previous strains. Most of the flu outbreaks originate in China. They typically take eighteen months to two years to reach our shores.
This little bugger got here in under four months.
Compared to other strains, this is a fairly mild one. Most people who get it report minor symptoms and recovery is moderately fast.
The down side is, this is one virus that mutates easily. All viruses do, this one is magnitudes more fragile.
People are acting like this is Ebola on steroids. Toilet paper, bread, hamburger, you name it, the store shelves look like Bernie Sanders is in the Oval Office.
I stopped at Academy tonight. They are rationing ammo. Their gun display was the closest to bare I have ever seen it. There were three first time gun buyers filling out paperwork, and a half dozen more making their selections.
This is craziness. Most of us are reasonably healthy. If we get sick, it should be no big deal, just stay home, drink fluids, get plenty of rest, and get outside as much as possible. Sunshine and fresh air will do more for you than you could ever imagine.
For the few who are at risk, sheltering in place is a good idea. Those are the folks who need to stock up. The rest of us need to respect their rights and avoid contact with them. Phone calls are the best way to keep them safe.
