It is a panic, but its justifiable to panic over the entire economy being shut down for an undetermined amount of time. No person on earth can say when this will end, given what we currently know about the virus, whether its possible to become reinfected, and how effective our strategies will be.

Everything happening right now are delay strategies to get a vaccine / antiviral treatment. Before we can control this the economy will be shut down. Nothing will be like before, the financial stress in the global economy is too extreme.
