The U.S. Department of Homeland Security offers tips for planning for a possible pandemic in relation to the Coronavirus on a preparedness website.
Ready.gov now contains a topic titled, “Human Coronavirus — Know the facts about Coronavirus. Public health is everyone’s responsibility.” That website redirects to recommendations for how to prepare for a possible pandemic. DHS recommends storing a two-week supply of water and food. Officials also urge Americans to make sure they have all needed prescription medications filled for that time period.
Specifically, DHS recommends:
Before a Pandemic
•Store a two week supply of water and food.
•Periodically check your regular prescription drugs to ensure a continuous supply in your home.
•Have any nonprescription drugs and other health supplies on hand, including pain relievers, stomach remedies, cough and cold medicines, fluids with electrolytes, and vitamins.
•Get copies and maintain electronic versions of health records from doctors, hospitals, pharmacies and other sources and store them, for personal reference. Get help accessing electronic health records.
•Talk with family members and loved ones about how they would be cared for if they got sick, or what will be needed to care for them in your home.
If a pandemic should break out in the United States, officials urge the public to take steps to limit the spread of the germs to prevent infection. Tips include staying away from those who might be sick, frequent hand washing, and avoiding touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with your fingers.
DHS recommends:
During a Pandemic
Limit the Spread of Germs and Prevent Infection (emphasis below copied from website, not added by writer)
•Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
•When you are sick, keep your distance from others to protect them from getting sick too.

2 weeks = 14 days = commonly accepted incubation period = stay at home quarantine and don’t leave
We have the smartest people on the planet on this site, YET they are falling right into the media and Dems panic mode this hysteria is being CREATED deliberately AND everyone on this site especially should start thinking clearly!!! OMG this is a virus for goodness sakes it is NOT Ebola!!!
Everybody in earthquake country should have that kind of stuff on hand anyway.
You’re thinking along the same lines I am with regard to Barr.
My impression of him has tanked.
I agree...
You do realize that's because they've basically not allowed anyone to leave their homes to try and stop the transmission....which is what the DHS is really saying here. Have food and water just in case we tell you not to leave your home for two weeks.
Two weeks isn’t enough but I’ll bet it’s far better than most folks have.
Ebola is a virus, genius.
ITS JUST THE FLU!!!
/s
25% of people who get the flu do not require hospital medical attention or quarantine for 14 plus days after exposure or its over.
Nothing like stirring up panic buying to create artificial shortages and touch off s wave of inflation.
Sucks to be POTUS when that happens. Ask Carter.
I track the numbers, and I reference them, but beyond that who knows?
The CDC, the WHO, and others seem to be tracking them too, and they seem
to think there's something to them.
It's all we have...
The numbers do depict what Trump said. We'll see when the quarantines are lifted.
Steak, drool....
Today I bought some cans of Spam. I already have case, but these are flavored. Spam now comes in a variety of flavors, like Bacon, Teriyaki, etc. But no steak flavored Spam... yet. They have a long shelf life. Also bought some canned soups, noticed that the shelf was nearly depleted.
Ammos and boozes.
I got em!
But i aint shaving muh beard.
“OMG this is a virus for goodness sakes it is NOT Ebola!!!”
Uh, “Ebola” is a virus...

They have to go into safe mode (panic mode) to please the other side who will complain, no matter what the President does.
As for pelosi...she has homeless living on the street in filth and it’s the place where germs live and grow... she should be reminded of such.
