Should I Freak Out?

Dear Dingo:
I don't know how seriously to take the mass panic about coronavirus. Any help?

Answer:
 After questioning a handful of suburban moms with school age children, I have concluded that--yes--they are all extremely freaked out....that school will be canceled. Gyms, malls, recreation centers shuttered, husbands working from home. Everyone bouncing off the walls and at their wits end. Children mummifying each other with the excess toilet paper, while mom hides in the closet guzzling hand sanitizer. The lesser known dangers of this epidemic.
