What is helpful to me OP is to remember that different people react and cope in different ways. Some catastrophise and panic and buy toilet paper others minimise and carry on as normal (sometimes maybe unwisely) and some people use dark Humour, myself included in the last one. I work in a supermarket so I have seen it all this week. Managing my own anxiety has been a challenge.

Tolerance of all of this spectrum is the key in what is anything but normal circumstances.
