We went grocery and gas shopping this afternoon. While the grocery store was busy, it was not excessively so, and everyone was fine - courteous, friendly, no panic. The toilet paper shelf was bare, but everything else was fine. I was the only one at the gas station. No general panic that I could see. We are stocked up for at least two months with food - not much more than usual - the result of shopping sales on frozen foods.
