Yes you did and I thank you for it. Had it not been for this thread we would not have been as prepared at home with our pantry and freezer being full and plenty of toilet paper before the mad rush came.

That's the beauty of information, providing it isn't blown out of proportion by a party seeking office. In the beginning when this first let loose in China the only thing we knew was.
1. It's a confirmed new "Novel" coronavirus
2. It is not contained, and highly contagious
3. The two coronavirus predecessors SARS and MERS had 15% and 30% mortality rates respectively.
As time went on, and we began to learn more about COVID-19, we began to see that the fatality rate wasn't but a minute fraction of that, and the only people who were in any danger were the elderly and chronically sick. Unfortunately the orange man bad crowd needed something to run a campaign on because their dementia candidate wasn't worth a wet bag of dog shit, so they massively blew it out of proportion.
Its hard to sort this all out - be interesting to see what shakes out with the lifting of restrictions around the country
