    This is not extrapolating the the rest of society, or their would be huge numbers by this time.

    The virus is no big deal, but the panic the media has generated is a different story. I went to work today downtown Austin and it looked like a ghost town.

    Hey, neighbor.

    And I'm sure you've checked out any of the grocery stores! Got tp?

    Bizarro world pandemonium.

    Yeah we're usually pretty stocked up, my wife makes sure we have multiples of everything.

    I just stopped at the HEB at Hancock Center earlier, didn't check on water or TP but shelves seemed stocked and they had plenty of red bull. :)

    Over all things seemed normal.

    Yeah HEB is going on reduced hours from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. so that they can stock fully overnight.

    Twitter:
    We ate Texican Monday night $.99 tacos. The place is always packed out, tonight? Virtually empty.

    This has got to be hard on small businesses.
