Sematics. To my mind, what you describe is hysteria, not panic.
pan·ic1 /ˈpanik/
noun sudden uncontrollable fear or anxiety, often causing wildly unthinking behavior. "she hit him in panic"
verb feel or cause to feel panic. "the crowd panicked and stampeded for the exit"
-------------------- Let it be seen that you are nothing. And in knowing that you are nothing... there is nothing to lose, there is nothing to gain. What can happen to you? Something can happen to the body, but it will either heal or it won't. What's the big deal? Let life knock you to bits. Let life take you apart. Let life destroy you. It will only destroy what you are not. --Jac O'keeffe

I agree, I have yet to talk to anyone even visibly upset by it.
Everyone I've talked to are just annoyed that there's no stuff at stores but still making jokes about it.

That's what you see, meanwhile in Australia there was a fist fight over toilet paper. They have 107 reported cases and only 3 reported deaths. Australia has a populations of 25 million. Sure, let's fight over toilet paper, because 3 people died out of 25 million.

As Asante has pointed out a few times already. Its not the direct mortality thats the biggest risk here. Its the percentage of infected people that will need advanced medical care. That number is a lot higher and with enough people people infected those numbers will rise above what our healthcare systems are able to cope with.
This goes for any illness and injury regardless of Covid-19. If the IC units are overloaded not only the infected are at risk

But for Australia fighting over toilet paper is pretty mild

Most people (about 80%) recover from the disease without needing special treatment. Keep up the imagination though.
I.e. 20 precent need special treatment to recover. And this is what you write as some kind of indication that Covid19 is similar to a common cold?
Where I live we don't need anything for the common cold. Not even my 90+ relatives with breathing problems needs "special treatment" for the common cold. But I guess where you live people are weak as fuck.
But yea, Covid has a lot of the same symtoms as a common cold. So has Ebola. Fever, soar throat, joint aches, weakness... So what does that say about anything?

Black Friday is greed. This is fear. The two aren't mutually exclusive as we can see.

I didn't write it, mate. Not sure how you can blame me for presenting you with facts. You even agreed with me. Not sure how that makes me dishonest?
Also, we know that this 80% figure is only for reported cases. It's impossible to know how many recover that haven't reported it, but obviously since there are at least a few, that 80% would actually increase. So by living in a place that requires no treatment for the common cold, you may unknowingly be increasing the number who survive while going untreated for Covid 19. That's cool!

Sorry, but someone has to say it. You are just a stupid troll craving for attention. It's like your sole purpose here is to piss people off. You have your opinion, you stated it like 30 times in the past few days in this thread. You aren't listening to anyone who's position isn't identical to yours. Just move on, stop embarrassing yourself. Go get some beers and watch the family guy, you poor egoistic soul.
