DHS Advises Americans To Store Two Weeks Of Food, Water For Coronavirus Prep

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security offers tips for planning for a possible pandemic in relation to the Coronavirus on a preparedness website.

Ready.gov now contains a topic titled, “Human Coronavirus — Know the facts about Coronavirus. Public health is everyone’s responsibility.” That website redirects to recommendations for how to prepare for a possible pandemic. DHS recommends storing a two-week supply of water and food. Officials also urge Americans to make sure they have all needed prescription medications filled for that time period.

•Store a two week supply of water and food.
•Periodically check your regular prescription drugs to ensure a continuous supply in your home.
•Have any nonprescription drugs and other health supplies on hand, including pain relievers, stomach remedies, cough and cold medicines, fluids with electrolytes, and vitamins.
•Get copies and maintain electronic versions of health records from doctors, hospitals, pharmacies and other sources and store them, for personal reference. Get help accessing electronic health records.
•Talk with family members and loved ones about how they would be cared for if they got sick, or what will be needed to care for them in your home.

If a pandemic should break out in the United States, officials urge the public to take steps to limit the spread of the germs to prevent infection. Tips include staying away from those who might be sick, frequent hand washing, and avoiding touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with your fingers.

Limit the Spread of Germs and Prevent Infection (emphasis below copied from website, not added by writer)
•Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
•When you are sick, keep your distance from others to protect them from getting sick too.

Two weeks isn’t enough but I’ll bet it’s far better than most folks have.

I probably have about three months worth plus a pool and Life Straws. Have fuel for the grills and the Colman stoves.

No need for libtards to prep, though, they can just get their food ordered through Amazon. Cars running on unicorn juice will magically deliver food from Whole Foods. There’s also Door Dash and some other options.

The term is used to describe those that have nothing to get by on during any kind of disruption. When they panic we’ll have a far bigger mess on our hands than this virus.

We’re not even close to that, nor I have ever seen such in the US. Heck even the street people are gathered up and taken to shelters where they are fed or food is taken to them .

And if that doesn't happen as they think it should, the feel entitled to p!$$ and moan about it, just like the "lady" I saw getting interviewed on KHOU about the water main break when it didn't get fixed in 20 mins.

They are so out of touch with reality.

I understand RO factors quite well.

The validity of the “studies” that provide them for the press dissemination is what is in question.

And especially the chi-coms at work in the US with their media partners (the same ones who helped them in Vietnam War, btw— same culprits same political bent) who have been FAR less than forthcoming.

Such that Trump has to say nice things about Xi Ping— who disappeared for the better part of a month as his minions went to work-— as a way to shut down Hong Kong.

The way this entire operation of chi-com coverup is being run is very much like Chernobyl, where the communisty apparat covers up its incompetence, coupled with, appalling unconcern over human life (a characteristic long recognized in Asia, life has little value from the sheer mobs and their psychology). Or in the criminal case of Citizen X— the story of Andrei Chikatilo serial murderer mostly of children— how the Soviet system manipulated and purposely delayed effective investigation and solving of the crime— all for Party discipline.

All aside from the “science” being thrown at the US public— starting with Rod Rosenstein’s sister throwing out ridiculous expansive statements of massive uprooting of productive society. The CDC is an apparat of many excellent scientists (who leave) and a whole lot of medical political police (see: 2nd Amendment and also see: marijuana and big Tobacco). Opinion from informed perspective of clinical work inside this system and its interface with the FDA and other government agencies.
