People should always be prepared for disasters.
It’s just common sense.
I heard someone on the TV talking about how to “prepare”.
Sounded just like what they tell us every flu season.
Some would say it’s actually your civic duty to get sick, so you can help get rid of the Orange Man /s
There will be no China or Korea like outbreaks in the United States. There will be some concentrated cases in areas where there are large numbers of Asians. Those outbreaks will be handled much the way it was done in Singapore.
I’m in process of implementing some precautions in my cpa firm including using gloves to handle client documents, frequent cleaning of common areas that clients use and daily cleanup of employee desks, keyboards and phones. Also have work at home plan for all employees. I assume it’s not necessary but if something happens I don’t want to look back and wish I did something.
Boy we needed anonther COVID thread. /sarc
Great article.
I wish all the chicken freepers who are afraid to talk about this would read it. I also wish they would take President Trump’s advice today, “It’s always good to be prepared.”
“All this means that if we can slow the transmission of the disease—flatten its curve—there will be many lives saved even if the same number of people eventually get sick, because everyone won’t show up at the hospital all at once. Plus, if we can flatten that curve, there is more time to develop a vaccine or find antivirals that help.”
Oh, FFS, wake me up when the coronavirus death count overtakes the flu deaths, this bull$hit is over the top now.
ONE person died in my state of Washington today. How many died in car accidents or drug overdoses????
ZERO F_CKS GIVEN ABOUT THIS.
Oh yeah, I was one of the original fear mongers in here.
“...that it expects community transmission...”
Definition: transmission from person to person but persons transmitting it are unidentified. It is not magic or anything uncommon, just that the carrier has not been identified. The media and deep state CDC and other doctors are using the term “community transmission” to induce fear and confusion.
If it gets more people to stock up a little bit, I’m all for it. (I’m not rooting for the virus, but you know what I mean.)

I'm sure company IT departments are making plans to increase telecommuting but, if anybody would like some advice as to which products and services would fit your need should you have to make this adjustment, just PM me and I'd be happy to help.
It isn’t my duty in Canada. I was forced to pay for public healthcare.
Heh. IF you lived near the Gulf Coast like we do, you’d learn real quick to stay prepared. We were caught one time somewhat unprepared....never again. We practically had to fight our way into the grocery store where the shelves were just about bare and then waited in line almost an hour to fuel the truck up. Tempers flaring everywhere...nope, never again.
It’s not the storms themselves that worry us the most, it’s the scared and panicked people that get pissed off and then do absolutely crazy stuff that worry us more. Now, we stay pretty much stay stocked up, cycle the time-limited goods on a regular basis, keep plenty of gas & diesel fuel available for the generators, batteries of all sizes, charcoal and propane for the grills, guns & plenty of ammo ALWAYS stay at the ready anyway, maintain a good supply of the non-perishables such as paper towels, toilet paper, etc, canned goods, both OTC & script meds as much as legally allowed, lots of potable water, generators are test run/loaded for 30 minutes each week, etc. When it looks like we could potentially take a hit, we immediately stock up on the perishables and keep vehicles with a full tank of fuel well before the panic really starts to set in on folks.
Right now, this is not even as bad as the common flu.
OMG!!!! PANDEMIC 5.0!!!!! THE SKY IS FALLING!!!! TRUMPRUSSIA!!!! AHHHHHH!!!!”
The first Oregon case was announced yesterday. Today, the nearest Costco sold out of toilet paper, etc. First time they have ever sold out of toilet paper.
I have at least a month’s supply of Kleenex, plenty of Gatorade, and I have recently binge watched the first four seasons of “Walking Dead”. I’m ready.
Civic duty.
A quaint and novel concept in today’s American society.
