So I have to ask generally - if we assume a similar exponential progression seen so far, in about 2 weeks there will be over 1 million confirmed cases and several thousand fatalities. How is this going to change your day-to-day life? If your living situation does not already include extended food, water, energy, and security resources currently, is anyone taking any steps to change this? I'm just trying to understand if people are contemplating Umbrella Corp/Racoon City type scenarios, what are they doing in the coming days?
On a side note, both Pandemic and Train to Busan are on Netflix currently. Coincidence? Almost certainly, but perhaps there is more to it?

There are plenty of "Doomsday Preppers" type programs also on Netflix or the like. It's a lifestyle, not a living situation. Most people will fall into two categories from this virus- majority will do nothing, the others will make token preparations like trying to find face masks to buy or gassing up their cars. Or maybe buy a case of bottled water because that's what they see people doing on TV.
