And everyone continues to be supremely confident that their prediction is correct.

Nobody knows. The bug. The availability of goods. Nobody knows with certainty.

"I don't know for sure what will happen." Try it. It's very liberating.

Except this all played out for a month before in Wuhan, and only slowed down because they were welded in their homes,something the west can't/wont do.So we do know.The real problem is this forum is largely inhabited by Americans who have never travelled outside their country, and think this is something just Chinaman or Italians get.

And even then, a hospital treating infected people in that city collapsed. Killing at least 10.

In the spirit of this inquiry proceeding from the known unknown, and having defined the future as an established uncertainty, I hereby invoke the Boy Scout code to be fucking prepared.

Why not stock the freezer with stuff you're going to buy and eat sooner or later anyway? Even if the bug is a bust the supply panic could be real and snowball.

If we don't know then we should...

...not think like Tapeworm so there's plenty left on the shelf for him.

Aw, thanks.

Fear people's panic more than the virus itself. Good point. Stock up on toilet paper too while you're at it.

Toilet paper!!! Lol. That’s how you know it’s all bullshit panic. People are worried about wiping their ass. Yep cause you’ll die if you had to clean your butt with your hand and then wash your hand. You should stock up on things you wouldn’t be able to live without after a few day’s. Mainly water and food and medicine. not toilet paper.

I know. No idea what's up with the toilet paper. Kinda like people in the south of the US buying up all the bread and milk when there's snow in weather forecast. Why bread and milk?

My sources have been in touch with the British PM BJ. Schools will be closing, no crowds at sporting events, concerts cancelled, people told to work from home etc. Basically a unenforced lockdown by the end of the week or slightly later if they can get away with it.

They are trying to last out as long as possible to try do some damage limitation with regards to the economy.
Do not dip into the markets. Just remember that the markets right now even after taking a hit are basically where it was at during the dot.com peak. It will snowball. Be patient and we will all be richer fellass

Was in Costco this past Sunday. Business as usual other than alot of people were hoarding toilet paper. It was almost all gone 20 minutes past doors opening.

Lots of water and food though.

Morons.
