    I’m like your parents I guess! We have a month or more of meds on hand, and could get by for a few weeks on food if needed. But my overall take is that we all die sometime and I’m not gonna freak out about this. I’ll just make prudent choices about travel and avoid crowds and wash my hands. Why panic? It does no good.

    I am concerned but not panicking because it’s outside my circle of control. However, China lied about the death rate and it wouldn’t surprise me if we followed suit.

    One of the endless parade of horrors emerging lately is that Mike Pence, notorious science denier, is in charge of our response to this medical emergency.

    Also, in a country with the highest medical costs on the planet, we couldn't see our way clear to have even a tiny percentage of the respirators on hand that will be necessary should this hit pandemic status.

    I wonder? Could one of the consequences of coronavirus be a more equitable society, should a major reset take place? I believe it's possible, especially given the amount if anger regarding and the continual realization of more and more Americans regarding American inequality. We'll see.....Rob

    Should be the amount of anger above.

    Medcram is excellent for logical information. Thank you.

    Living less than than an hour from Walt Disney World, Orlando airport and lots of old people and tourists, I feel it prudent to be prepared. We have a 24 hour Walmart a few miles away. I went this morning at 5:30 when it was empty and filled in the gaps I needed to stock up. I got some fruit juices, soups and s on to supplement my well stocked fridge and freezer. I’m avoiding crowds but not being too crazy. Had a lovely walk in the sunshine and 70’s temps today. We have a pile of books and lots of hobby stuff like sewing and woodworking too. No sense in being reckless when testing is very sporadic and from what I understand not too reliable being in the higher risk group. .

    YES! Part of any prepping as I see it anyway is adding domething to fill up time should we be sequestered. Reading material, dvds of favorite movies/programs, some kind if indoor crafts/hobbies, that kind of thing. Also pet food!!! So glad I remembered that - no way is my cat suffering if I can help it.

    The nice thing about cats and dogs is that they can eat what you eat, if you choose wisely--at least for the duration.
