Here is an article that explains the unknowns, some reasonable common sense precautions to take and ways to prepare should you need to stay at home. I think it makes sense to be prepared without panicking. This article strikes that balance IMO. https://www.propublica.org/article/i...ign=pockethits |

I believe that the virus can survive up to 9 days on hard surfaces. I’ve not seen any factual evidence to the contrary. I prefer to err on the side of caution :-)

Repost from another thread
I live in a tourist area. Coachellafest and Stagecoach concerts venue is so close to my house I can hear the boom boom boom of the music at night. We live so close to the venue for the BNP Paribas OpenTennis tournament the city has to post no parking signs on the streets around my home. All 3 events bring in international visitors. The tournament was scheduled to begin this week. It has been cancelled as of tonight. We are waiting on an announcement on Stagecoach and Coachellafest for next month. The area will take a huge financial hit if all 3 events are cancelled but better safe than sorry. The first coronavirus case has been confirmed at a hospital in my area (20 minutes away)and a second one in the county I live in. My husband is 73 with a chronic lung condition and if he contracts the virus I don't think he would survive.My son and geanddaughter work with the public. I'm very worried. We are earthquake prepared so in case of quarantine we would be reasonably ok. I worked in a meat department of a regional supermarket for 35 years. I'm used to washing my hands countless times a day. It grosses me out when I'm in a public bathroom and see a woman come out of the stall and out the door without washing her hands!

Well, I don't have a lot of space for stockpiling, but I agree 100% that we can not depend on our government to have our best interests at heart. After all these years, I can't believe I never really learned this truth until the past couple of years. There has been talk of finding a cure or preventative vaccine that is affordable. Shocking. How about free and mandatory? Anyhoo, I concur that it is a good idea to have staples on hand for emergency situations. I can't say I'll load up on toilet paper and water, but I definitely intend to continue picking up extra and store what I can.
