The faucet. It won't run out.


Guess you've never experienced a hurricane or derecho or boil advisory?

Or live in an apartment building that uses a water pump?

You should get out more.


Is coronavirus going to cause a hurricane?

Please enlighten us, oh wise one.


So the answer is no? How old are you to have never experienced any of those things?

And you certainly don't need to have any water on hand. That is absolutely a choice you can make for yourself.

But stop sh1tting all over other people's reasonable preparations, following FEMA basic guidelines for emergency preparedness (https://www.ready.gov/kit).


I lived in the Caribbean for a couple of years. We had numerous hurricanes including a category 5 hurricane. We didn’t have electricity or running water for over a MONTH. So I am well versed on how to prepare for a hurricane, thank you very much.



Given that, it's very odd that you don't think anyone should have any extra water on hand. And that tap water will always be available.



You see no difference between a CAT 5 hurricane and a virus?


The water on hand is not specifically for the virus.

Go catch up on the earlier posts on the thread, grasshopper.


You mean all the rando, unsubstantiated hysterical theories? PP would be better off skipping that nonsense, lol. I come back to this thread for entertainment....

Buy 5Ga containers (can be collapsible) to fill up yourself, from Amazon.
You can always use them later to bring drinks or water to large gatherings, when those no longer seem ill-advised, or for camping.


How would you store the water since it isn't sealed?


You have a point there. How long can you store unsealed water? Would a tiny amount of bleach "refresh it right up"?
I guess you'd need to replace that water periodically.

Go back a few pages and read about why a disruption to water services is always a possibility. You don't have to prep, that is your choice.



Exactly. Once people are falling down sick there will be no one to do the repairs. Thunderstorm seasn is just around the corner.

But why? They aren’t going to turn tab water off.

Unless there is a water main break OR a boil advisory/power outage combo (electric stove here). Better safe than sorry.


unless, unless, unless....

don't forgo logic and get caught up in "what if" scenarios. Stay grounded.



Buying a $3 case of water from Costco in case of general emergency seems pretty grounded.
