Perhaps China forbid grocery store visits, but Italy did not and the US will not either. It’s panic, pure and simple (unless you’re in a high-risk category, then it’s simply preparing to truly isolate)

I’m 36 and I’m not worried about catching the coronavirus, I’m worried about spreading it.

As far as I'm aware people in most / all Chinese cities can go get groceries. At least that was the case in Beijing. Not sure about Wuhan itself though.

To what extend do you expect your awareness of what's happening in China to be accurate?

To the extend that my company has employees there and I talk to them regularly.

I expect grocery stores here to remain open but I still want to avoid going out as much as possible. So I’ve stocked up on extra food to accommodate that. It’s pretty simple, I’m not panicked, and I’m bewildered as to why this is difficult for you to grasp.
