POLL: How is your community reacting to efforts to ‘flatten the curve’ and the threat of coronavirus spread?

It's been quite a couple weeks, huh?

With all the measures being taken to prevent the spread of coronavirus and 'flattening the curve,' we've seen complaints of people panicking, we've seen social media shaming for people being complacent or ignoring their responsibilities and honestly lots of people taking it in stride. 

So we're curious what you're seeing in your community — not things you see on TV or from any farther than your town or city limits — and for this exercise, let's not include toilet paper buying in your decision. If you have specifics, feel free to share in the comments below.
