[quote=Anonymous]I’m the pp from page 20 who posted the article in favor of prepping (scientific American) that I think has been shared since.

I’m in CA (outside SF) and I feel like awareness / concern / prep here seems to be much more than among my friends and colleagues in DC and other cities. That’s based on a small sample. I asked my GP to fill my inhaler prescription -I use it for seasonal allergies and it had been a year. I expected push back as I’m not currently sick but she filled it immediately. (3 days ago)

I was going to stock up on wine, but read a study today that alcohol consumption increases pneumonia risk. I don’t drink very often and have crappy lungs so decided not to get wine.

We went to an event tonight but plan to avoid crowds / events going forward for awhile as best we can. It was amazing - the host (Canadian) at the theater event at one point said “let’s get psyched, I’m available for hugs in the lobby!” And my husband leaned over and said “she is not reading the room”.

My government agency sent out a notice to employees today telling us to make sure our telework permissions are approved if we don’t have them already and to please practices social distancing - but has not waived reporting requirements yet. With three cases confirmed in our community I don’t want to take public transit and don’t have another option for getting to work. [/quote]
