@bradenslen Yeah. I’m not panicking, but I’ve stocked our pantry and I’ll be avoiding crowded places for the next few weeks while this shakes out. Hand washing FTW!
@Cheri Smart move. I think that is just being prudent. Let's just say one has to voluntarily isolate themselves and family during an outbreak for 3 weeks.
None of this is wasted money, the stuff will get used up eventually, so if they are not needed you are really not out anything.
I think we all missed the boat on N95 type face masks for now, most are made in China so who knows when they will again become available.
I know it sounds paranoid, but I went through the 1967 snow storm that hit Chicago. I won't bore you with a long story but it was like two weeks before a huge front end loader came and cleared the drifts from the streets of our subdivision so we were truely stuck.
