The stuff I "normally eat" isn't particularly suited to storage.
Since retiring, I've gotten into the habit of shopping 3 or more times a week, and eating only fresh produce and meats. Probably no more than 4 or 5 canned goods in my pantry, very few dry goods, only frozen steaks and fish in the freezer along with a few pre-made appetizers.
Over the past few weeks, I have built up about 6 or 8 weeks worth of storable food. Canned and dry goods, cereals, grains pastas, and some of the more durable produce items like carrots, potatoes and cabbage and some frozen goods.
I store cabbages in my fridge on the bottom shelf. Left unwrapped they last up to 2 months. Sometimes longer. Those are my ‘go to’ fresh food. I eat a LOT of cabbage stir fry. Kohlrabis are tasty too. They also store. Carrots store as do onions. Combined with a thinly sliced steak or chicken breast + a cpl tablespoons of butter, some salt and some spices (we are on a schwarma kick right now) that’s supper. Leftovers we heat up and eat in a low carb wrap.
We also have a garden. lettuce, asian long beans, snow peas, peppers, etc all go great in stirfry or salad!
We freeze meat we get on sale.
Hubby and I do the low carb thing so I have low carb baking ingredients too. Those mostly live in the fridge.
It’s not just ‘OMG PANDEMIC’ as a reason to store supplies. It’s ‘canes, ice storms, sickness, joblessness, family emergencies, etc. Who wants to go shopping if you’re staying with an elderly parent while they’re in the hospital?
I expect ‘shenanigans’ in November after the election. I’d definitely stock up before then. Just because.
And let’s face it, in the summer when it’s 95F for weeks on end and lows of 85F do you REALLY want to traipse all over creation to get groceries and then lug them in? Not me. I try to do most of my nonperishable shopping in spring and fall. I also hate cold and rain :) I’m a picky person.

Six Patients Confirmed for Non-infectious Sincheonji Group Infection in Daegu… Is Sporadic Spreading Begins
2020-02-27 04:30:00
Translation
[Seoul = News] Reporter of the Gu office = Sporadic spreading in this area was confirmed by six patients unrelated to ‘Shincheonji Daegu Church’, which was known to be infected in Daegu, where a large number of patients with a new type of coronavirus infection (Corona 19) are developing. It is a concern.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, six patients were identified as a result of the Corona 19 test on 503 pneumonia patients aged 19 or older who were admitted to Daegu by 27th.
Kim Woo-ju, professor of infectious medicine at Korea University Guro Hospital, said, “This means a lot.” “Corona 19 symptoms begin and go to pneumonia. It is usually 7 days. “I was exposed to means,” he said, “not just infected with nephropathy (why the infection) did not know why pneumonia began.”
To date, a total of 710 patients with Corona19 occurred in Daegu. The authorities believe that most patients are associated with the Shinchon Daegu Church. In the Daegu area, there are 501 patients who have been identified as Shincheon Daegu Church.
-snip-
However, the outbreak of infection outside the connection with the Shinchon Daegu Church has increased the possibility of sporadic spreading of infection in the region. In particular, pneumonia is a high-risk group that is concerned about future health because it is a base disease.
In addition, the government plans to test about 28,000 people with colds similar to those of early years, including fever and respiratory symptoms. In this test, sporadic spreading in the region is expected to be realized when a large number of patients with corona19 are not related to Shincheonji Daegu Church.
If a patient is added sporadically rather than a specific path of infection, contact and movement management will be unable to handle the patient itself. Already, there is a shortage of hospital beds and medical staff for confirmed patients.
Who sat next to this lady on the transportation back from Milan?
Yikes.
At least she didn’t just show up to the ER and contaminate it and everyone in there.
I really hope to see lots of ‘mild’ cases that resolve with no compliations.
Not unique to that company.
Yeah, every time I post about a case that came from endemic countries, Italy, S. Korea, etc., I think about how many people were in the airplane, flight attendants, airport, taxi. For every one person there could be 1000s exposed.
It’s a logistical nightmare.
US has “skyrocketed” to 60 cases now.
I continue to be dismayed with our third world response in re our testing. I am not panicked and am still working (driving a cab!) but I think our government is appallingly inept right now.
I’d like accurate information. So I can make good decisions.
No details but...
- 3 new cases in the U.S. (1 domestic, 2 from cruise ship)
Here in San Diego, we don’t really have hot or cold, and not much rain. I really should get a garden growing, but have a serious “brown thumb”...
Even in a Mega-City like Seoul, just a thousand patients can strain the system. Wuhan never had a chance, nor does any area that allows this to get out of control like it did in Wuhan. That's why the CDC strategy is to "slow it down". Like our "just-in-time" economy, we have a medical system that is very near capacity in good times. Even seasonal flu causes strain.
According to Bloomberg anyone can grow food. You dig a hole, drop a seed in, put some water on it and boom, you’ve got food

Officials say that individual did not have coronavirus and was released after three days.
That article/story, comparing the two cities was amazing, wasn’t it?
