[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone worried about water but does t want to stockpile water in their home, just buy a Sawyer Water Filtration System.  It makes water drinkable even if it’s full of disease and bugs...and even poop.  It’s like the life straw but makes a bag of potable water.  No need to get an entire stockpile of water.[/quote]

Okay so if I’m quarantined at home with no running water, I do a rain dance?[/quote]

Go down to the creek and get a bucket of water.  They’re filtration systems made for hikers to get potable water anywhere.[/quote]

Seems easier to stockpile water.  :lol:

Sure but you’re afraid of water outage, what happens if you’re out of water longer than you are prepared for?  You have no filtration system.  You can come up with what if’s all day long.

Here’s what I expect to happen: water and power will be fine.  Illness related items will run out.  Things that bring fever down.  Tissues.  Cold medicine.  That sort of thing.  This isn’t a war, we aren’t having our power plants bombed.  Yes people can be sick but enough cases are mild that we will have folks keeping utilities running.  The problem will come with a run on cold related stuff.  This is because we have literally no one with immunity.  The difference between this and all other human disease is that some humans have had other diseases so that slows the spread.  With Covid-19 literally no one has had it so the entire population can get it.  That’s why, for example the Korean psychiatric hospital has nearly every patient infected.  Every human on Earth (with rare exceptions of random mutations that make some immune) can get it.  I’m more concerned about my kids wiping their nose raw without soft tissues and having no Motrin - that sort of thing.[/quote]
