Let's be prepared in a reasonable manner 🙂

After being isolated for 3 weeks and yet 3 to 4 more to go, here is my list:

- alcohol 70% by volume

- gloves

- food of any kind for you and your pet

- necessary medicine

- hygenic and sanetizing material

- laundry powder

- batteries and lamps

- music and movies

- books

- games

- first aid kit so if God forbid anything happens you dont have to go to hospital

What I find funny about this whole thing is nobody is buying tissues when it’s a respiratory illness. You don’t get the shits from it and yet toilet paper can’t be found.

I haven't stocked up on anything. Just did my weekly shopping Wednesday. I did buy a bottle of Lysol spray, but I always have that on hand. My pantry is always full of food, and my freezer is always full too. Hopefully this won't last very long and things will get back to normal soon.

My one worry is going out to eat. Is that safe or not. We never know who is cooking the food and if they are sick or not.

I purchased my normal month of supplies last month, but found they were out of things I actually use, virus or no virus. The Clorox wipes were out of stock, and I could not get bleach from my local store. I did get bleach and wipes and everything I need. A very kind lady from my local church brought them and left them at my door last Sunday when I was having body aches, chills, and violent shaking. Thankfully that only last 24 hours. Prior to her charitable visit, I had also ordered bleach from the nationwide Walmart warehouse, and they had it in stock. It arrived three days ago.

I will continue as I normally do. Last month I did order canned tuna and canned chicken, and extra cans of tomato soup, and next month I will probably order a large bag of brown rice.

I'm not preparing at all. I already have food. I have a normal supply of toilette paper. I don't see the need for batteries since the power won't go out if people get the cold. I work in the grocery industry and the shelves will be restocked after everyone finishes panic buying. In fact our sales yesterday (because they announced the closures of schools) were up 150% from last year when our year to date increase before was about 2%. totally insane! I can see stocking up in sanitizer though.

Excessively stocking up is not good.

It will make it impossible for those in need to find things that they would die without, and in some regions people will take advantage and increase the prices. Meaning more poverty.

Necessities to me are things your life and other people's lives depend on:
- foods that actually last,
- medications for your chronic illness,
- OTC fever reducer in case you caught up the virus. Please don't use it unless you're absolutely sure you need it. Don't use them for period pain and don't stock up more than three tablets per person.
- water
- enough soap
-60 percent alcohol sanitizers.

- Bleach solutions to wash your kitchen items, floor, and all surfaces.

-94n masks to protect yourself from catching the virus (if they are hard to find please leave them for professionals because they have to be in contact with patients much more than you do. If they are infected they will ultimately make everyone else sick

-Goggles for the same purpose

-Surgical masks in case you have to leave the house or go to the emergency and you have respiratory symptoms, this is so you don't infect others. And hotlines may request you to wear it.

Just a note about the gloves. I saw someone previously suggesting it will lower your risk of catching the infection. That is not entirely true and I doubt it, in a professional setting we do use gloves but not alone. You still have to wash hands frequently. And no pair of gloves can be used for two tasks because you will be contaminating your environment, transmitting the virus from an area to another. From a patient to a patient. They are thrown away and hands are washed afterwards. Also since you will have to take it off, you will be using one hand to remove it.

[b]Just make sure to wash your hands as frequently as possible, the right way.[/b] And perhaps get disposable towels to close the water tap with after drying hands.

It's a virus not a hurricane!

I went to Sams I got milk bread eggs k-cups baby wipes just 1 case laundry detergent and hand sanitizer just 1

Thats what they said and did here...now we are in lockdown and its a disaster...

I'm thinking of freezing some extra bread.

where I live they like to say "the first 72 (hours) are on you" as I live in a hurricane prone area.

so I have emergency supplies for 3 days, including medications.

that's the extent of it

Bullets, whiskey, those little debbie cakes that are white cake rolled around imitation strawberry goo, shoe laces

This is like a pilot episode of The Walking Dead.

First aid kits.

Cold medication, fever medication. I'm guessing that stuff is going to run out very fast

Coffee, smokes, dvds, and pop ......:)

Use your common sense!! If you don't possess any, ask someone who does.
That is all.
Thankyou. ✌

Anything and everything that you plan on selling with a 300% mark-up! 😈


Saddly I would like to be facetious about this! Yet it's happening! 😡
