Regardless of what you think of it, the answer is objectively option three at this point.  This is completely unprecedented.

Stores are packed and running out of stuff. People are so stupid. STOP hoarding things.

There’s a fine line between stocking up more than usual (like adding some frozen food to our barren apartment) and being a part of the problem (buying WAY more essential goods than you need).  People need to use common sense.

LOL no it is not completely unprecedented, similar things happened in 1918 and all sorts of events were shut down (as well as in other previous epidemics in other places).

In some cases they didn't though, like the Philadelphia parade, and the price was paid in body bags.

Okay, the very nature of our interconnected and technologically dependent society played just a BIT of a roll in my characterization, dude.  I’m sure many people hid inside during the Justinian plague...

He asked what this would be remembered for, and I think it’s perfectly obvious that we’ll be telling our grandkids that for the first time in the history of the modern United States, society practically grounded to a halt.
