But we prefer to panic and think that this is it, the end of the world as we know it
My comments were to provide real world examples of where the Coronavirus has made impact in Australia. In this case, not from a medical perspective, but from a supply chain perspective. Even if Australia is not impacted directly by Coronavirus, we will be impacted indirectly by it.

I'm not suggesting that we need to be alarmist because we are all going to be directly exposed to the virus, just that it will impact us.

For the record, I work in the power generation industry. The lack of PPE may mean that maintenance activities will no longer be able to be performed. That in turn puts generation at risk. That in turn puts energy supply at risk. Which in turn puts every grid-connected electricity consumer at risk. This is not being alarmist. That is the potential consequence. However, I think the probability of that occurring is low.

But it is still a risk and one that needs to be managed carefully. Personally, I see this as being similar to the Y2K bug; it requires a national approach to be able to mitigate the risk it poses.
