What makes sense to me is plan for the worst but hope for the best.
I became concerned when I saw the way the Chinese government was handling this rather untypical flu...
I live 40 minutes from ORD—and from what I have seen, there is not an n95 mask to be found in any of the box stores in my town...
What masks are still available online have significant price increases...
I have a family member doing grad work in infectious disease/infection control...They are concerned, but not panicking...
“I have a family member doing grad work in infectious disease/infection control...They are concerned, but not panicking...”
I was just thinking about that. My plan had been to panic starting on Feb 12. But, at this point, I’m just heavy prep. I may even put off the Feb 12th date.
(by the way, ‘panic’ means hunkering down at home...no more working until it’s safe again)
