There was an epidemiologist on ABC radio today.
The good news is they suspect severity of the illness (deaths) may be dependent on the viral load you come into contact which is why the death toll at ground zero is so high. Bad news, it going to rage through Australia.
There was an article on the ABC website yesterday quietly suggesting people not panic buy, but keep the cupboards full.
I'm actually going to stock up with enough to keep us going for a month.

Idiot.
Don't forget to watch ACA too.

What should I do to prepare?Experts say preparation, not panic, is what's needed now.
"We need to think about whether you have enough medication and
essential foods such as canned foods, some pasta or food that can give us fibre, carbohydrate and protein for two weeks, if things were to interrupt the supply chain of food," Professor Mackay says.
"Don't forget to prepare for pets as well, with extra supplies of dried pet food and flea treatments in case there are shortages."
But he cautions against panic-buying supplies or hoarding food.
"We don't want to see empty shelves," he says.
"We have time to prepare now by just buying a few extra supplies each time we shop, and set it aside."
