The only thing I'll be worried about if it comes to that, assuming essential services like water, power, and Internet access remain available, is living off of beans and rice until the virus blows over.

You shouldn't be worried at all unless you're immunocompromised or over the age of 60. Just make sure you wash your hands often, and I recommend taking advantage of the insanely low cost of air travel right now.

Re: Post Pics you relate to!
Yeahhhhh, no, I'm gonna say everyone should be worried. Maybe not worried about the potential prognosis if they get it, which seems to be what you're referring to with those groups, but worried about the spread of it through society (and in particular a spread that's so rapid/uncontrolled that it overwhelms medical capacity).
Do what you can to help mitigate the spread of the virus, even if you specifically are young/healthy enough to get through it.

Re: Post Pics you relate to!
Do:
- Wash your hands
- Stay home when you're sick
- Point out how terrible the American healthcare system is for handling a virus outbreak
- Hoard toilet paper and hand sanitizer
- Be terrified of being anywhere near other people
- Let the mass panic cripple your ability to enjoy anything

Re: Post Pics you relate to!
You're right about Do #1 and #3, and not wrong about #2. But:
By the time you're obviously symptomatic, you may have been contagious for a while. Reasonable proactive measures are how you slow the spread of people getting sick in the first place. "Terrified of being anywhere near other people" reeks of a shitty strawman, but if the fact that I said "worried" is throwing any good-faith discoursers for a loop, pretend I said "concerned" instead (in the honest sense, not the Susan Collins sense). Or whatever adjective you want to use for taking it seriously without suffering a nervous breakdown.
No one's saying to move to a bunker or a cabin in the woods. I still go out to the store, go to work (so far), etc. But absolutely cut back on non-essential events, activities, etc. and avoid physical contact. Skip parades, rallies, conventions, that sort of thing.

I can give similarly good reviews for said depression/anxiety medication. Yes this is not a picture, yes it might help someone.
