[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did a little run last night and the shelves were fully stocked. I saw a few people who were either stocking up or planning for a party. Most people were going about their normal business.

The question DH and I have been wrestling with is how much of a supply we should have? We could currently be good for 4-6 weeks, maybe more if we ration. It's all stuff we currently eat anyways, so worst case is we don't have to spend nearly as much weekly on groceries. [/quote]

It sounds like you have plenty.  It’s not like you’re going to be trapped in your house with no access to food for weeks, [b]even if there’s a quarantine it will include a process for getting food to people, because the government knows if they don’t have a way for people to get food, they’ll just break quarantine to do it themselves.[/b][/quote]

What evidence do you have that the government will have a process to get people food? Do you remember Katrina? The crowd running our government now is even more incompetent.

The vast majority of people aren't doing anything right now to get ready. But just imagine what would happen if it were announced that someone from Bethesda had died of the virus and a couple of more people were on vents at Suburban Hospital?

Be the smart one and have enough in your house to be able to get by without going to the store for at least 2 weeks. Pretend you're preparing for a 2-foot DC snowstorm.[/quote]
