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.

#breaking North Korea urges foreign diplomats to leave on Friday. Dozens of foreign diplomats quarantined in Pyongyang, North Korea are planning to take an evacuation flight this Friday, a source inside the country tells me.
The source agreed to speak on the condition of anonymity, given the extreme sensitivity of the current situation in North Korea: “We got a new note [on Saturday] urging missions again to leave and stating [the flight] is scheduled to leave on the 6th [of March],” the source says.
Well, I think there's something to that!
Merely make the small change to...
" it's just a new, additional very, very bad flu."
the supply chain will stop and then we will have panic....and THAT my friends, is why you prepare....
you can't really stop the flu or virus....you coexist...
” (except for TP which the females in the house seem to burn through but I’ll fix that tomorrow)”
Just how big is your garage?
It’s just not possible to buy enough TP for 3 months with wimmins in the house.
Not possible.
