[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I were really afraid of a pandemic that would be extremely dangerous for those in my household (I don’t think this corona virus is it), I would get a freezer for the garage. Lots of meat, frozen vegetables, breads, and milk.

I would fully stock the pantry with rice, grains, beans, cereals, plus all the other things we normally keep- chicken stock, soups, pasta, etc.

I wouldn’t assume that power would go out or water cut off. I would prepare just to be housebound for potentially months. I would stock differently I were afraid of power or water shutoffs.[/quote]

This makes a lot of sense to me.  We have kids in 3 different schools so I'm sensitive to that, but as I understand coronavirus, the kids aren't especially vulnerable to serious illness.  I could probably stand to add some more dried beans, cereal, and canned fruit, but I'm not really worried. we are otherwise pretty flexibly prepared for various needs. I'm pretty grateful that our parents are all in fairly rural areas with small farm resources.[/quote]
