My suggestion is to stock up on canned goods that will last three months or so as an insurance policy. If this all blows over, you can either eat them or give them to the local food pantry.

You have to eat. Buying food to last through any possible disruption is a wise choice at this time. Beat the herds and get the cheap stuff while it is still there or end up having to settle for whatever everyone else couldn't afford or didn't want, if it's there at all.

Smart man who cares about his family and loved ones.



A few bags of rice and beans wouldn't hurt either. Twenty pounds of each from Sam's or Costco or even Wally World, are not expensive. Thirty dollars worth .... what does it hurt?

Trump says everything's under control. This will all go away "in April, when the heat comes". Rush Limbaugh says the media is doing this to undermine the President.

So we're good. Right?

With a 2% death rate this virus is not as deadly as the regular flu


Will you people please stop repeating this lie? Mortality from the flu: 0.002%.

I think the number is actually 0.2%. Seems like a large percentage of the population has forgotten their 3rd grade math. Maybe this will help -

With the flu 0.2 % or 2000 people in every 1 million that get the flu die. With coronavirus 2.1 % or 21,000 people in every 1 million that get coronavirus die.

With approximately 350 million people in the US, if everyone got the flu 700,000 people would die. If everyone got coronavirus, 7,350,000 people would die

She seems to be over dramatic. Time to get a new chief.
