A full shelf is not indicative of good or bad in a super market.
A typically Wal-Mart here, for example, only has full shelves* because there are stock crew replenishing them all day and they get tree to five trucks throughout the day from the warehouses.
A typical Winn Dixie here in my county, on the other hand, barely has anybody doing anything, barely any customers, and full shelves of items that aren't moving because they charge such high prices o everything. I walked in one about a month ago and was reminded of what I almost always think: How do they stay in business???
* = It's not possible to have full shelves across the board; warehouse shortages, factory shortages, product recalls, etc.

As Bill stated above, it sounds like lots of Italy is Big Trouble In Little China.

Yes the relentless media scaremongering is not only irresponsible, its downright dangerous. If corona virus dont get us, the depression will!! 
See my post 9 up from yours - thats why its been bad in italy!
Such a shame...end of winter....good time of year, the sun is peaking out, temps rising, winds on the way out....and yet its hard to feel positive about anything with this hanging over us all.

I went shopping at the grocery yesterday. Some things were a bit low on stock. The pasta shelves, though, were WIPED OUT.
Go figure.

There is a million ways to catch such a bug, not least from germs in aircon, warm doctors surgeries, change when buying something, touching a chair in a restaurant, earing food someone else has prepared, etc etc so in the scheme of things, scarily all it means is not if you can avoid it but how long before you catch it. So far in the uk we are a few weeks behind italy so clearly its going to become more widespread and affect more people. Every country stopping all flights mightve slowed it down 2 months ago but even that wouldnt conrsin it.

I'm no expert Bill but with most of the UK cases originating in Italy, stopping all flights from Italy to the UK seems a no-brainer. I agree it probably would not stop it going viral in the UK but it would have slowed it down a lot, perhaps by 2-3 weeks. With scientists working on antiviral medicines like remdesivir to fight and save people from Coronovirus and warm weather (which may slow it down) not far away, those 2-3 weeks could mean saving hundreds of lives.
