I've compared it to the seasonal flu myself - I think I said something like "think of it as a particularly nasty flu season." "10x worse than our worst flu season" is a public health way to talk about it - we can predict what our disaster preparedness is but I'll bet we're heading into a real "fog of war" situation where we'll never really know how bad it is.

I'll have you know I'm two counties north, by the way, and what we're doing up here is hoarding toilet paper, same as anyone else. And complaining about our chapped hands, particularly if you're one of our doctors, who are washing their hands two or three times an hour for eight hours with medical soap.

    Am I overreacting? Why is most of the puget sound still allowed to travel

Because as I understand it, travel restriction is a star-spangled clusterfuck.
