I really can’t disagree more strongly with this statement 
Why panic? Just follow all the instructions regarding minimising infectious transmission…
Why catastrophise the matter? Sensible precautions are not “over-reacting”
There are going to be all kinds of weird opinions etc being bandied about. From a Buddhist perspective we can only do our best to ensure that our own personal conduct remains considered, a source of no regret and subsequently no bad Kamma.
