Even in the socialist healthcare utopia of the UK, you still get people who take perverse pride in never taking time off sick and go on about how they haven't been off sick in 20 years and won't start now, as if that helps everyone around them when they come in ill.

And in germany companies offer "bonuses" to people who "don't get sick".

Getting sick doesn't ruin you here as it does in the third world country of the USA, but people will still be stupid about it.

“It’s not so much of a question of if this will happen in this country any more but a question of when this will happen,” said Dr. Nancy Messonnier, director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases.

She said that public health officials have no idea whether the spread of the disease to the United States would be mild or severe, but that Americans should be ready for a significant disruption to their daily lives.

“We are asking the American public to prepare for the expectation that this might be bad,” Dr. Messonnier said.
That last sentence is really weird.
Prepare yourself.
Prepare yourself for an expectation.
The expectation that you must prepare yourself for is this: that this might be bad.
Now, you shouldn't expect this, yet, but you should be prepared for the expectation.
The expectation? That it might be bad.
Note that we're asking you to do this, this is entirely optional on your part.

The problem is you're thinking about it rather than buying out all the vienna sausages and corned beef hash in your local grocery. Don't forget to bludgeon anyone who gets in your way.

Neutron soup

e: Realtalk though dunno about soup, but I think brains are mostly fat so that's good calories per can. Also anything preserved in oil if you also use the oil.

Most places don’t even offer any leave, let alone sick leave, so missing a day of work because you are literally dying means you miss a day of pay if not outright fired.

Or if they do offer leave, its two weeks of PTO and you are incentives NEVER to use it because you will miss work quotas or you kiss that vacation you spent the last two years saving up for goodbye.

I won’t even touch on the massive medical debt you WILL have for daring to even visit a hospital with this virus.

Seriously this virus will lay bare alot of structural problems with our American Hyper-capitalist bootstraps society and it really doesn’t have to kill that many people to do so.


I wouldn't get my hopes up about this laying anything bare because there's always a long line of job applications ready to replace every person at every job.

As a heads up, those 1 gallon jugs of water are okay for the short term but the plastic degrades over time and you should expect them to leak within about a year. I used to keep distilled water around for projects that required it and the jugs eventually soaked my carpet.

The cheapest, easiest way to store water is in empty (well rinsed) 2L bottles. They can even handle being dropped.

Do you really even need to stock up on water? Why would your water get turned off during a pandemic? Even if you think its infected or whatever, you could just boil it to kill the virus right

If you haven't already bought supplies, it's probably more efficient to just start looting instead.

If you live in earthquake country like I do you should have water enough for 72 hours per person in case water mains get broke.

In this pandemic you might want water around in case current sewage treatment is inadequate to kill the virus and they find it in the water supply. Enjoy those poop-virus electrolytes.
