That is correct so far, in the US.

But isn't it just saying "we don't know"? Since the incubation period is 14 days so
how can we can be sure already?

You’ll find out in due time, until then RELAX. Think about something else, lol.

My strategy is every time they confirm a new case in the states I’ll buy more food.

If it blows over I’ll donate it to a shelter. Win win.

This is smart.

We don’t have the space for much extra food, but we are mindful that February and March have brought some paralyzing snow storms to this area before. So we’ve cleared a linen closet shelf and put in an extra week of non perishable food and more OTCs than we usually keep on hand. If we never need it for a virus quarantine, we might need it for a blizzard. If neither happens, we can donate.

Masks, gloves, and Purell make me feel better and I’ll consider that a mental health investment.

Little emergency kit is always good idea regardless of times. Even if you have a tinny place you
probably have some free space under the bed. They have those ten bucks or so flat containers that
fits easily under the bed. It could keep all the basic supplies giving you a little peace of mind.

Thank you.

I’m concerned now because things in China quickly deteriorated and the HK and British models show the number of infected in 50-100K.

They closed down million people cities, videos show corpses in laying around in public, US is evacuating people, countries like Mongolia and Taiwan are closing borders.

I’ve never heard in my life of such measures. Even with SARS and Ebola.

Ebola outbreak was nightmarish in Africa.

Not a win for the other people who wanted the “last box of masks.”

Love this! I plan to use mine to clean the garage as God KNOWS what critters get in - LOL.

I tend to be a food shopper - makes my family crazy. Well family? You won't starve

I think your last line is fine. None of it will go to waste - I wear gloves when I feed the critters outside - you're talking leptospirosis, hookworms, etc. even without the coronavirus.

My sister says the flu has been devastating out in AZ in its spread this year. Elderly population (she helps my parents) is at risk even without this new virus.

Precisely.

I was one of the recipients of the swine flu vaccine way back 70s/80s (can't remember). I'm now 58 and seem to catch very very little of anything. I also do a flu shot every year.

I bought a 20 pack at Home Depot for $21 yesterday (doing some drywall work). Ace Hardware and Lowes have cases of them too. Usually near the paint department.

Will be there after
