This is a good example of why my sammich maker and I have extra food at home. We have a deep freezer and good sized dry goods storage that we initially started stocking up to take advantage of sales. Now we restock it when the items are on sale or we are getting low on the item so as to avoid paying for market spikes.
Corona virus really isn’t any worse than the regular ol flu. Unless you are old, a baby, or in poor health you will probably be fine.

Pretty much my only worry right now is the 1 month quarantine timeline & I'd be fine for that and then some.
My only other fear is lack of prep by family members that I would like to help keep alive. Might be a good time for a family talk. I know my moms freezer is full, but that's no good if it hits in spring/summer if the power goes off because she only has once source of energy w/no back up. Thats why I prefer freeze dried food. Water is easy to get anywhere around here and Ive got multiple means to heat and decontaminate water.
I'm just hoping to maintain a BAC high enough to kill any virus. I have a pretty good stockpile of BEER, Mountain House and similar foods. Might go pick up more than a couple cases of BEER and ramen or similar.
^ partially true. not concerned about that.
Food security is the focus.
this.
All the places that this virus has had a significant impact, the food has been wiped out.
@achirdo what is your safety net? Everyone overreacting to the virus, probably so, but it’s a dog eat dog world, those that have the means will buy to survive.
No one can say it doesn’t happen here, we have seen all the grocery stores wiped out during Hurricane/tropical events for a few hundred miles of the impact areas.

family has cattle. Y’all eat your mountain house meals I’ll eat some delicious steak. Lol
but in all seriousness I’ve been meaning to buy a couple 5 gallon buckets full of rice, beans, sugar, and salt. I need to move it up on the priority list. Next time I’m at sams club I’ll probably gets some big bags
I see what you did there.....too soon.
Don’t plan on being able to hunt deer after 30 days. Every moron with a gun is gonna be shooing every 4 legged animal.Thankfully there seems to be plenty of deer in this area, so meet shouldn't be an issue.
I have been eyeing a stand-up freezer for the garage. Might have to scoop it up.
