I'm actually quite shocked that there aren't more US infections so far, I'd think there would be at least 3X as many

it's not like there's an active effort to test for them, we have an active flu season ongoing and early symptoms are identical to the regular flu, and states like florida are flat out refusing to report

you'd be wrong
there are at least 10x as many and probably at least 100x
most cases of coronavirus are mild! almost every major city probably has mild/asymptomatic clusters already

also get some comfort stuff that's shelf stable. Some chips or something so you don't go crazy. Peanuts keep well and are very calorically dense. Tea, coffee and vodka all are great things to give some pizzaz to liquid.

It's actually a survival tip to get tea in your 'essentials' bag when going hiking in the wilds even though it wastes space, being able to drink something hot and tasty is a good morale booster.

There's gonna be a week where a lot of old people are suddenly dying of pneumonia just like in Italy. All these cases are gonna come at once rather than a slow drip.
