Unless you’re planning on traveling to the PRC with your laptop, I suggest caching the PDF, I tried, but it says “something went wrong.”

I would fall back on my NBC training I received during my 22 years of military service.

I have enough room to place a camper away from the house with septic tank, power and water. Also internet access.

Drop food off at the fence line for infected family member. Set up a decontamination area (with real beach) if someone needs to take care of the sick.

Set up a burn pit to get rid of infected items like used gloves, mask and etc.

Coronavirus: James Bond cancels Beijing tour because this is No Time to Die. There's a paywall, but here's the idea:

The makers of the latest James Bond blockbuster have been forced to postpone a lucrative publicity tour in China as cinemas in the country remain shut in efforts to contain the coronavirus.

The closure of 70,000 cinema screens across China is taking a toll on the film business from Shanghai to London.

Qin questioned how the quarantines were handled, saying some students had already been back on campus for at least a week before they were asked to isolate

Geez.

From your link....

The U.S. Embassy in Tokyo said Washington was evacuating the Americans because the passengers and crew members onboard the Diamond Princess were at a high risk of exposure to the virus.

They're just realizing this??? 🙃

does that guy really think Japan will let him off the ship in 2 days and not restart the 14 day quarantine since they are still finding dozens infected each day

I’m thinking the master bedroom with attached bath. The tub doesn’t drain but can’t help that. It has cleaning supplies and meds and the linen closet has plenty of clean sheets and wash cloths. Need to put more tp in there.

AC and heat can be turned off.

Their clothes would need to be brought in and ours out.

There are plenty of windows. One window is on the porch so that would be used to deliver meals. I don’t like it on the porch and next to the back door but the other windows are too high and out of reach.

The door to the bedroom can have a sheet of plastic covering it to block drafts. Yeah, going Wuhan and sealing them in. Also, have one of those door drafts for under the door (every little bit helps).

Would need to move in a computer. There’s a chair but no room for a computer table. Maybe they could dump books from the bookcase. Will think on this.

There’s a phone in the bedroom and the bathroom. There’s a bookcase but would add more books. Will add playing cards and a “Hoyle’s”, paper and pencils, a spare ceiling light bulb, there’s a battery charger and a couple flashlights but will add more batteries today. Need to see if there’s any old electronic games around. There’s plenty of candles but need to arrange a safe place for matches.

Thinking the garbage could be a problem.

What else?

20% as bad as that is it may be low
real rate can only be known after it runs its course
china acting like black death

but not real issue

real issue is running out of all the stuff made in china - processed foods medicine spare parts just everything - will know in a week how bad supply will be and what the shortages will be

ships that should have sailed 2 weeks ago have not.

Do a pay to play for internet movies.

Or give them free access like that porn site did for the ship passengers.

The garbage gets tied up and goes out the window, esp if the person is well enough to tie it up. No need for anyone else to touch it. Let it pile up. Deal with it later. Have them also put soiled linen and clothes in the bag. Burn it all later.

True, but you’re pretty optimistic if you think the packaging and containers will still be available

Was being optimistic yes

colorful packages may help with boredom of starvation
