2/26/20 A day to just a few days left before panic buying. Get to stores before.

A-bombs
dress: rubberized gowns, one wing of hospital is shut down for training,
throw mattresses in hall, assuming your going to have wall to wall people set up, set of triage, boxes of saline and bandages
organize who is to do what.... hope

CONDESCENDING-shame star,
I'm say be prepared as much as possible, but stop the fear mongering.
( I don't think we have to tell people to buy can goods only)
I've not stated what could happen-electrical grid collapses due to people
being sick and fearful.
Site forbids political posts: Have you see our national leaders address this problem?
I think I can state this: Sanders said, when pinned by Rachel Maddox(sp) that political conventions may have to be reconsidered.

I've never prepped, but am doing it now. So far, I have one week for me and one month for my fur babies (I can eat anything, they can only eat cat food). I think that since the scientists don't even know how this virus is SPREAD, we have no idea how far and how long it will go. Even IF it goes dormant during the warm weather, it may come back in the fall with a vengeance. So, like the adage goes, "one ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure''. I'm doing my ounce of prevention, and if the fear is overblown, that food won't go to waste.
 
I've been pretty much silent on this topic, but my thoughts are "Hope for the best and prepare for the worst." Panic has no place in the equation but neither does relying on your neighbor for your sustenance. If you want to label me, you could say I've been a prepper* since I went into business for myself 11 years ago as I never know when the golden goose may give up the ghost.

I understand differences of opinion, but infighting solves nothing. Each side of the debate has some value - be gentle with one another.

*Just wish my stash wasn't a thousand miles away. Bad on me - but family and friends will still benefit if the need arises.

I happen to know ALL the words to the original song.
"Power to the People
Power to the People
Black Power for Black People
Puerto Rican Power for Puerto Rican People
Third World Power for Third World People
Power to the People
Who will survive America?
Very few *****es, no Pigs at All
Who will survive America?
Very few *****es, no Pigs at All
Power to the People
Power to the People"

John Lennon plagiarized his version!

If it's going to work we need a peace pipe. Will you get us one?

The term "Power to the People" became a widespread rallying cry during 1960s war protests, well before John Lennon wrote his song. It's not surprising that more than one person would set that phrase to music. Having similar ideas isn't plagiarism. If you're alos suggesting that he stole the melody, that would be a whole 'nother kettle of fish. (I can't find anything to support that Lennon's version was plagiarized.)

Just defending Mr. Lennon because he can't step forward for himself.
 
At some point it seems likely that everyone will have a back up case of paper goods, toilet paper and water. That should ease the panic.

(Though why people need to keep buying bottle water is beyond my understanding. Buy it once - or bottle it yourself in reusable plastic juice and 2 liter soda bottles. Date it and store it. After a year, use the water in your household, refill, and date it.)
 
Squatting Dog, LOL!

Swansong, I never understand the popularity of bottled water. My refrigerator has a water filter, and very clear, delicious water (and ice, if needed) come out of the refrigerator door. I do have a bottle that I bought water in one time from Costco (25 cents), and keep refilling it from the refrigerator!

Me too, and it's environmentally a good idea.

We have a supply of home-bottled water in case of a large EQ, which could cause a disruption or contamination of water supplies.
 
So I have been having my groceries delivered for the past year; just a convenience I enjoy. Today I went online to place my weekly order and they are BOOKED SOLID until Sunday. What the heck.
