No, that is the level of panic we like.
Numbers are good. Not enough people use them.
Thanks, and I’ll keep watching of course. And thanks for the thread.

Mexico confirms fifth case of coronavirus
By REUTERS MARCH 1, 2020 22:38
A young woman tested positive for coronavirus in the southern Mexican state of Chiapas, state health authorities said on Sunday, marking the country’s fifth case.
Like another woman who tested positive for the virus in the northern Mexican state of Coahuila, the woman in Chiapas was studying in Milan, Italy. The woman tested positive for the virus on Saturday but is ***asymptomatic*** state health authorities said in a press conference.

Been saying it all along.
“Don’t panic. Prepare and be vigilant.”
And a lot of “It’s NOT the flu.”
Taken a lot of abuse from the “but, but, but flu” people. No doubt they will own up and profusely apologize, once they get back from their panic shopping. Not so much abuse from the “we’re all gonna die” crowd.
My wife and I discussed taking the kids out of school a month ago. We pull the trigger soon, I think. We are prepped for up to a 3 month quarantine (except for TP which the females in the house seem to burn through but I’ll fix that tomorrow). Nothing we’ve done is more than an acceleration of things we’d have done anyway. If nothing happens here, all we’ve done is beat the shortages that will occur as others panic. So we go light on the shopping for a few months, maybe.
Even with quarantines we shouldn’t lose power or other services for long periods, but there might be interruptions that will be of longer than normal durations (what would be a day response might be two days with all the precautions the service people will need to take, that sort of thing). So we are not too worried about refrigeration and such.
All in all, we’re in a comfortable place. I hope you all are as well.
PS: Wait for the second bounce to buy into the market.
