The problem I generally have is the way the likes of the media and even our own politicians are currently portraying it (considering locking down cities if necessary, despite the low amount of cases at present), as well as the hysteria around it (ie. it's a global killer and we're all going to die). Because of this, it sparks unnecessary things such as panic buying and, after hearing the 'worst case scenario of deploying the army in case of public disorder' earlier today, mass paranoia.
Obviously it needs to be contained, but the media and politicians aren't helping matters.
