Fast Money & Foreign Objects

I sort of did the same. I made sure to get a couple of month’s worth of non-perishable food, prescriptions, etc. I’ve never been a prepper type person, but I just don’t think it can hurt to have some resources to spend a lot of time inside and/or have the ability to treat yourself or a loved one if they’re sick and we get to a worst case scenario where hospital beds are full.
Keeping people inside seems to have worked/been working well in WuHan, and if you’ve got some disposable income then even if it turns out you don’t need it, you’ve got some extra supplies that honestly we all should probably have in case of emergency.
Great article.

I’m interested in hearing some first hand accounts from people that recover from this about how they felt while sick. I know most people have mild symptoms, but it’s so hard to know what that’s like, right? The experience of having mild cold or flu that we have some herd immunity against, and some antibodies to fight against is not the same as experiencing a mild version of a totally new illness that is infecting humanity for the first time.
Also, so many people I’ve talked to have been on some
It’s just the flu.And I wanna say, “
have you had the full blown flu?”I think a lot of people have a bad cold or a mild flu and think they’ve experienced a full blown flu. I’ve had a real bad flu only once. I had H1N1 in 2016 and it’s the worst pain I’ve ever been in.
So I’m
sorry but people that downplay the regular flu are fukking stupid too.

Is it weird to you how relatively quiet this thread is? I mean I know there’s not a lot of info yet, and a lot of what there is to talk about is scary and/or conjecture. And I know the Democratic primary has people focused on that.
I’m just slightly surprised that only a handful of us are regulars in this thread.
Thanks for posting good info BTW

Italy is really going through it they just closed schools 1,000 infected 100 dead
Good news is that it doesn't seem to affect kids much at all. They don't know why but there have been zero fatalities in the 0-9 range and only 1 in the 10-19 range. For whatever reason even healthy 20-50yo adults have been more likely to succumb to the virus than kids have. Take that with a grain of salt considering how little we know about the virus and I'm still not going to take chances, but it makes me feel better about my 18-month-old.

So they have a 10% mortality rate over there? Jesus.
They’re actually around 3,000 reported cases. Still a high ratio tho
