I have 6 months of food for the wife and me. Probably three months for the cats. Water is tighter. Probably 30 days of water in water bricks.

Weapons and ammo. Of course I don't have those.

If this virus is as bad as she says, and I have no reason to doubt that, then "hunkering down time" may be upon us all soon.

Three months ago it was barely a footnote.


We all may be swapping recipes for crow stew by next year, all hunkered down with only ourselves to talk to.

But PJL says the Western media is making more out of it than what is actually there. His Russian and Chinese sources say there will be no Pandemic.

Same and I dropped 1K on extra supplies this morning. If nothing happens, then I will be glad and have supplies to last most of the year.

Yea Isreal announced this morning they are blocking flights from two other countries to their county. A guy I know from Twain that left from the US today said his plane was almost empty.

Seems to be holding steady at about 2.5% mortality from this flu. So the odds of getting it and dying are

1:40.

Only problem is those numbers are most likely not accurate. Based on reports on the ground. The mortality rate could be 15 to 20% there could be a death toll well over 100K with millions infected. China would have never locked down or destroyed their economy for a death toll that is lower than a normal flu season. Not a chance. Out of the thousands who are officially recorded as having fallen ill, only a portion has been reported to have made a full recovery.

Granted some are unscathed. But there are some who have horrific injuries that will last a lifetime. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/s...s-to-the-body/ In many cases a re-infection means death. https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/en/news/3876197

I would avoid any air travel in the foreseeable future.

Oh great. I'm booked for the next 6 weeks.

That's dangerous.

Speaking of outbreaks.

Did you know that 1/2 the men in China now have Cataracts?

True.

The other half drive Rincolns.
