“Thanks, but got tons of meat, butter, and cheese. So I’m good...as long as power stays on!”
As long as.
I don’t think we’ll see unusual power outages, but I do think the “normal” ones will last just slightly longer if they affect a quarantined area due to the extra prep the repair guys will (sometimes) have to do.
I don't expect power outages either, nor do I expect interruptions in water service. I did stock up on charcoal and propane just in case, and filled up a bunch of gallon jugs I had laying around with filtered tap water. Even baked some bread over the weekend to get back in practice.

I know, tell me about it. I do have some backup generator capability, if really needed for my refrigerators/freezers, so I can take a few weeks of power being down, if needed. But if we do get there...there’s going to be a lot to deal with!
