The chinese virus has been in the news for a couple of months. I've talked it up a bit and done some hoarding. And watched the situation semi-closely. Belatedly, public awareness suddenly exploded and led the poorly informed to panic hoarding. Most amusing. Then, "the government" suddenly, persipitously, decided to "do something".
