Another Coronavirus and what about those with autoimmune disorders? Should we panic?

I know it's another coronavirus thread and everyone is probably pig sick of them but how would you be feeling about the virus and it getting diagnosed much more in the UK if you had an auto-immune disease?
How likely is it to make people with autoimmune disorders very ill?

I'm not sure if I should be concerned or just think it would be a bad case of flu should I get it.

It's so difficult to find level headed advice and if someone like me with an autoimmune disorder should be worried?
Some people are all ' you only need to worry if you have pre-existing conditions' well that's all well and good until you are the one with a pre-existing condition!

So should I worry?
Should I be stockpiling?
Should I lockdown myself and my house?

Or is this just a bad case of flu (if you happen to be compromised to begin with) that will kick your arse for a few days but clear up like usual?

Quinine as in tonic yes but I think most tonics don’t actually contain quinine now. Could be wrong though.

Should we panic?
Yes, definitely panic, because that will really help.
