“DHS recommends: Before a Pandemic Store a two week supply of water and food.”
Don’t you find it off that they say prep only for 2 weeks? If we had a raging pandemic I’d be hiding for longer than that...
**************************************************************************************
I guess that’s based on the same 14-day quarantine period they have been using for the Evacuees. While most people will develop symptoms within that time frame, cases have been reported with up to 28 days before symptoms.
Also, in the past, they had info for other emergencies that stated to have up to 3 months of supplies and medicines. So the 2 week thing seems weird to me too—but I think people who don’t routinely stock up, would be more likely to get 2 weeks than for a longer period, and some could not afford to get more than that all at once.
And if they said more than 2 weeks, it would feed into the fear porn that Derps/LSM are trying to use against POTUS right now about this issue.
If all Americans rushed out and stocked up for 2 months right now—store shelves would get empty faster and supply chain disruptions mean they might not be restocked quickly.
I have a standard monthly order list for Walmart.com that I use to restock items that our local Walmart frequently doesn’t have. Last week, I went ahead and reordered early-this week I double checked and many of those things are also out of stock on-line now. And that is unusual for almost all to be out at the same time.
And this to keep in mind when prepping:
Coronavirus infects woman in Japan for the second time, a first in the country
A woman in Japan tested positive for the coronavirus for the second time on Wednesday, as the country grips with 190 cases separate from the Diamond Princess cruise ship outbreak, according to multiple reports.
The tour bus guide in her 40s first tested positive in late January and was released from the hospital after recovering. She was readmitted after having a sore throat and chest pains, according to the local government.
