Also, the virus shouldn't be a threat to the food supply or the distribution network, though there will of course be logistical hurdles and some degree of temporary increased demand as people stock up.  The virus does not cause diarrhea, so the run on toilet paper will pass once everyone has enough TP to last them 3 years.

There will be long term increased demand for sanitation (for example Purell and disinfectant wipes), but fortunately the raw materials for that are easy to come by, so it is just a matter of increasing production capacity.

New paper out outlining the threat of undocumented transmission of SARS-CoV2.

Bottom line, 86% of all transmissions in China before the travel restrictions being in place in late January, were undocumented (that is, occurred from asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic and untested people).

I think the technical term for this is "we're screwed".
