Aren’t their homes rather small? Can’t be much room for prep foods.
I made a quick run into town to grab pet food. Found canned chili on sale 2 for 1 so got the 8 cans they had. Needed to get various bottles of Asian condiments and they only had two soy sauce, two sesame oil, two fish sauce and two sriracha sauces. The end. Nothing more. Weird but am thankful for that since it’s Venezu-Texas shopping here (thanks, HEB, not).
There’s always room for Lunar Holiday Food....even the poorest have special items as family members return. We’re talking parents who work in the cities who see their kids, back in rual country, once a year at this time. So there will be food for a time.
I went ahead and prep yesterday. I purchase three month supply of food (restock my selves). Also have three months of dog food. I have mask that will arrive on Monday.
If I start seeing more cases pop up in the US I will see if I can get my siblings and Mother to prep again. Currently they think it is fake articles / news on the internet.
To prep all you have to do is stock your groceries up like you would do for a hurricane or ice storm. You just need to add Mask, gloves, cleaning supplies(beach / disinfectant goods) and etc.
