Heck I probably wouldn't have thought to get flu meds until I saw the suggestion here. depends on where you live I live in a rural area and everyone out here is self sufficient for the most part

As bad as this is, this virus absolutely will not result in some sort of mad max apocalypse. The Spanish flu is more deadly than a well treated SARS-2, and the world didn't stop fighting World War I until the Spanish flu pandemic was more than half done. That said, if people cannot get any hospital care, SARS-2 does appear to be nearly as Spanish flu when modern hospital care is unavailable for those who need it. So you'd best hope your hospital system is functional for those who need it.

UnknownTarget posted:My favorite is how consumerism is so baked into our dumb brains that we buy the two things you DON'T want in a survival situation; very perishable bread and milk. I think at one point it was honestly "hey we don't want these things to go to waste, please buy them" but now people equate preparation for disaster with buying these items. Also, in half of the country, the disasters are usually blizzards, so if you lose power you can just put your milk in the mudroom.

Owlofcreamcheese posted:It’s okay to eat normal food during disasters. Like you can just make sure you have two weeks of the food you usually eat instead of two days. Do not listen to this person! The Coronavirus has already taken over their brain and is trying to kill you too! Only a diet of dry rice, dry beans, and Top Ramen can save us!!!

For sure, maybe i'm not stressing out because I live miles out of town and always have a stocked pantry and freezer because it's too far just to jot into the shops for a top up. I can understand people that don't cook from scratch or have a freezer would be a bit nervous about shops running out.

For a fun exercise, you can try to figure out what rate of growth would be needed in order to actually show up on your graph, and think really hard and whether even the most minute fraction below that really counts as "under control".

Pie Colony posted:why would the power go out? it's a virus, not a hurricane Well in theory if everyone who works at your local power station gets sick and dies, eventually the power would go out. I don’t think that’s something that is in danger of happening with coronavirus, but theoretically it could happen.

Pie Colony posted:gonna be lol'ing at these people eating beans every meal while i have frozen ravioli, vegetables, and fish  I just bought two whole chickens, pork chops and a big pork roast. I can use that meat for anything, and the bones will make sweet, sweet stock. I threw it all in the freezer. I stocked up on plenty of macaroni too in addition to more traditional apocalypse food like Spam, sardines, rice, and oats. I’ve probably got a good month’s worth of food. So I’m feeling pretty good.

Mithaldu posted:Maybe it makes more sense to you if you see the zoomed in graph together with the zoomed out one. Even if China manages to reduce the number of concurrent infections, the US and most of the world sure as hell won't. All this shows is that they're managing to maybe successfully plug one hole in the leaking dam while dozens of others have sprung up.

update from new zealand warehouse, we've sold 5 metric tons of rice in 2 hours. all up sold about a months worth of stock in the last 3 days. australian long grain rice is essentially gone with medium and jasmine soon to follow. it's unavailable to order due to drought til possibly 2023 lol. if your in nz buy your rice now cause the prices might be crazy going forward. we have one confirmed case lmao this is crazy remember to buy salt, also I recommend adding protein powder or mass gainer to your stockpile. its a good price by calorie and is easy to make if your too sick to do serious cooking
