And for another dinner in a can suggestion:
Serve canned corned beef hash with canned peaches and a slice of bread. My grandkids often ask, "Papa, you got any hash and peaches?" For a prepper, it's a must have.

Day #19 here:

The pork issue preceded the virus.
In fact they were here buying up all sorts of pork...but a lot of it went bad on the docks.
I can imagine that between the virus, and not being able to get their food that the citizenry might be getting a little “anxious.”
It only makes sense if they want to blame someone. Invading Taiwan doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. But, they probably think we wouldn’t defend it.
I am just spitballing. So...
Precisely my thoughts.
And I wondered the same when they expelled our journos the other day.
Tiananmen II incoming.
That would be great news.
That is odd. Most plants don’t take too many to run..at least over a few days.
I figured high IQ’s would find a solution before the whole thing burned to the ground...
This kind of independent thinking isn’t really known in countries like PRC.
I predicted we wouldn’t go full wuhan, looks like I might be right :)
Love it when that happens.
Friend just called from California....her county is in “Shelter in Place” , called it yesterday.
Quit making up stuff
Check the sodium.
Grind it up and use it for seasoning.
Sheesh!
I’m guessing the generator advice is due to expected longer wait times for power restoration because the plant will have to call personnel back if there is a major problem.
“Local power plant sending all non-essential personnel home. Advised to have generators fueled and ready. Possible road closures in our area.”
What area is that?
And for another dinner in a can suggestion:
Serve canned corned beef hash with canned peaches and a slice of bread. My grandkids often ask, "Papa, you got any hash and peaches?" For a prepper, it's a must have.
^
How much salt in that square can of corned beef?
Maybe mix it with beans n rice to cut the salty taste...
I'm guessing the advice is due to possibly longer power restoration times if there is an issue at the plant with fewer staff available. It's not a nuke plant, if that eases worries.
The first SARS virus from early 00’s. Also targets ACE2 receptors.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16237152
Orchitis: a complication of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS).
” In the present study, we analyzed the pathological changes of testes from six patients who died of SARS. Results suggested that SARS caused orchitis. All SARS testes displayed widespread germ cell destruction, few or no spermatozoon in the seminiferous tubule, thickened basement membrane, and leukocyte infiltration. The numbers of CD3+ T lymphocytes and CD68+ macrophages increased significantly in the interstitial tissue compared with the control group (P < 0.05). SARS viral genomic sequences were not detected in the testes by in situ hybridization. Immunohistochemistry demonstrated abundant IgG precipitation in the seminiferous epithelium of SARS testes, indicating possible immune response as the cause for the damage. Our findings indicated that orchitis is a complication of SARS. It further suggests that the reproductive functions should be followed and evaluated in recovered male SARS patients.”
So, let’s do a thought experiment.
If you wanted to eliminate your enemy, long term...develop a virus that attacked the testicles and was as easily transmissible as the common cold.
Bonus if the young people were asymptomatic or very little ill. if it kills some old people...hey, win win for the pension system, right?
Re: 756 - There’s going to be more research to be done that will hopefully yield more answers.
No, serve it over rice. One can will make a meal for 3 - 4 people. It goes great with cornbread, cabbage, or french fries. It’s not too salty. When you add the onions, and a bit of water (2-3 tbsp) to make a gravy, it cuts the salt even more. Leave half the salt out of your rice, or more, if salt is an issue.
People sick.
People taking care of sick people.
People taking care of little kids (schools closed).
People afraid to get sick.
And with the Walmart hours, made me think of people taking the bus into work and not wanting to be on a bus and get it.
At some point when neighborhoods are put on “shelter inside” that will also limit the number of workers.
Our little electrical substation at the end of the block got some huge upgrades after 9/11. What of the neighbors that works for an excavation company bid on it (they didn't get it). He said it called for expanding the facility 6 stories underground.
They had a lot of dump trucks going in and out for a long time (all summer?). Other than a double gate and thick wall at the entrance, another fence around the existing fence, and an additional tower with lots of antennas, not much has visibly changed on the surface. So the story of everything added on underground makes sense.
I'm guessing they weren't planning on this type of threat to the system.
Oh - that wall at the entrance. It has “decorative” openings in the wall sort of scattered about. I think they are to be used as gun ports. I'm guessing that the place is now some sort of secure bunker for electrical and communications.
