The following is sinister from an Australian doctor -
I don't understand the contradiction of buying food only a week ahead, but self isolating. Buying only a week ahead means going to supermarkets when things get worse. What is the best thing to do now?
Must people are buying for at least 2 weeks and many people are planning on buying online.
build a bunker and stock for 6 months
@Allamanda Exactly. I've stocked up but not ridiculously if I have to stay confined for a couple of weeks. The basics, tins, frozen, etc. But beyond that it's a different situation.Who knows? Here's a twist: I'm scheduled to have elective surgery in mid April for hernia repair, home that day. I got the call this week, but by mid April who knows what might be happening. Wait and see, I guess.
@MsDemeanour you mean that you haven't already?
@FrayedBear Ever since the Orange slob moved into the White House, I have been collecting food and survival supplies. I have enough for six months easy. I have a two thousand gal pond and a water treatment system. Propane, not gas is easily stored and stable over time. I have converted my generator and riding mower to propane. I could ride it to town to shop. And I am already a hermit.
My main concern is medications. If I can't get mine, I'm dead.
@FrayedBear Oh you'd hate me FB......I'm the eternal optimist. I'll worry about tomorrow when it is tomorrow
@PondartIncbendog Why can you not stockpile them also?
@FrayedBear I get my meds from the VA.
@FrayedBear, @MsDemeanour To ease your mind, it's never tomorrow. It's always today. So don't worry about tomorrow. It will never get here.
@PondartIncbendog want to bet? Take the train.
