Nobody tells us. You do your own math and guess work.. but if you ask me.. Look at China for some markers.. The Wuhan is sealed solid since some January what.. 10th?.. and now we have what?.. March 3th.. that is what.. ? .. almost two months...
I don't expect we will be shot solid or at least not all the time and not everywhere as much as country or even state or so.. but what I consider is just as what you see in Italy or Seattle.. at one point if there will be enough cases locally then it will feel safer to stay away from stores that will be a potential virus central, and also I would feel rather uneasy buying produce or groceries that are sitting in the place that is recycling the air breathed by so many potential carriers if anything.. So I would say two months worth of goods with the option to spread into 3 would be ideal
to avoid unnecessary trips out for safety. Of course this might be way too much but one can really stretch stuff once one gathers some stuff and based how it is going one can start just try to ration thing and use less and slower so it will last longer. It is mostly about basics really for survival and then you can just be creative to get stuff to kind of not to eat to boring but as far as pure survival it takes very little really. Think one bowl of rice per person can save you from starvation right? Not living but surviving.. so build up from there
Two weeks to me does not even scratch the surface because two weeks most people can go without any issues on what they bought last time need be. Also I doubt two weeks solve anything. What did it move in Italy, Korea or China? Nothing. Two weeks is like a minute in Corona clock.

I feel like I'm stressing out about the logistics more than I am about catching the virus. I want to know how other states, schools, employers are handling things, if at all.

I work for state government (no cases in my state right now) and we got a very generic email today telling us the Dept of Health is monitoring things and to wash our hands. That's pretty much it. I just want the school district and my employer to tell us the plan, so I can prepare, if need be.

The Manhattan lawyer hospitalized with coronavirus is in “severe condition,” the city Health Department said Tuesday evening.

It's worse than this. When he went to the hospital in Bronxville, they had no clue he had coronavirus. Also, one son is at Yeshiva, and he has signs of coronavirus and test results are pending. Four schools in Westchester are closed. He took Metro North to work for a week while sick without knowing (a crowded commuter train). Into midtown. He's in intensive care. And he had no travel or known exposure to anyone with coronavirus.

My parents live five minutes from him. I just posted about them. Anyhow, if you had to compare the NY geography to NY, I would say that he works near Metro Center, he lives in Bethesda, and his kids go to school in Silver Spring. Everyone in between those areas might have (or not) been exposed to him. It's very troubling.

And if he was on a metro north train to manhattan it was probably filled with thousands of people from Connecticut, and when he arrived in nyc, he walked around grand central station.

New York + Newark+ Jersey City= 21 million people+ one coronavirus=“cluster f....k “

I left out Long Island, Westchester cty. And Greenwich and such... but you know that it is all one big urban area for the most part...
