It would be better if this thread dealt more with facts rather than providing overly morbid predictions, such as this one which came from the quoted article:

 

When you’re done reading the article, this is what you’ll take away:

 

The coronavirus is coming to you.
It’s coming at an exponential speed: gradually, and then suddenly.
It’s a matter of days. Maybe a week or two.
When it does, your healthcare system will be overwhelmed.
Your fellow citizens will be treated in the hallways.
Exhausted healthcare workers will break down. Some will die.
They will have to decide which patient gets the oxygen and which one dies.
The only way to prevent this is social distancing today. Not tomorrow. Today.
That means keeping as many people home as possible, starting now.

 

So, we only have a week or two before NZ is overwhelmed by the virus! Now if this doesn't trigger panic buying and associated behaviours, I don't know what will! Come on, settle down, relax and get real, there's only one country in the world in lockdown.

 

The link is American, not from me, or Geekzone, or Ministry of Health, or WHO

You cant conclude that that article means NZ is overwhelmed in a week or two. No one here to my knowledge has stated that.
