The poll by Survey USA finds that 100 percent of respondents said yes to the question "Based on what you know at this hour, what would you say that the chances are that you, yourself, will get sick from the Coronavirus?"

The survey was conducted last week, just as the peak of the panic was hitting. It also found that 21 percent of Americans say their daily life has "been turned upside down" by the virus, which originated in China.

A further 42 percent say it has "changed noticeably", while 31 percent say it has "been impacted only slightly".

Six percent say life has "not been impacted at all," although that has probably changed by now.

Interestingly, only five percent of respondents said that they personally know someone who has been officially diagnosed with the virus, while an overwhelming 92 percent say they don't.
