My wife and I are in the high risk group.

We stocked our panty a month ago just in case.

We put our self in “quarantine” starting yesterday. We have what we need for a few months. The Only thing we don’t have is a generator. I don’t want to mess with storing gasoline.

I did however see on Amazon a solar battery that will (when fully charged) provide an outlet for small appliances and recharge cell phones. I may get one of those.

It is not like we are in prison. We can go out for walks, work in our garden or just sit back and read. It is going to be an interesting time.

After my bone marrow transplant, I had to do that for many, many months during my time as a complete bubble girl at home. You go thru stages It does get old. But, I was also unwell.

Excellent idea. Because of an autoimmune disease, I’ve been “quarantined” for the better part of 30 years. Because of that, I seldom get colds and never the flu, and though I have a few things to last, I could probably hole up here for the duration of mania.

A solar battery would seem to be a good idea, so I’ll check that out.

Thanks for your post!

“The Only thing we don’t have is a generator. I don’t want to mess with storing gasoline.”

Do you heat with NG or Propane? You can get a “Whole House” generator pretty reasonable that will run on NG or Propane and is cheap to run.

I’ve owned solar panels since the early 1980’s. Bought them new,surplus from Los Alamos.

We have a generator too. I don’t expect to use it, but can in emergency.
