Disaster preparedness is a controversial topic. IT also depends on many factors: you resource level, your community your network.
Following basic "bad weather" protocol and assume you are house-bound without electricity and water for three to five days is a good start. Beyond that? There are folks in China who have been locked in their homes for over a month. No, we're not China - but this is an unknown. Prepare, educate yourself, and be in a position to help others. I would recommend getting masks and goggles before they're sold out in the states.
The normal prep any good citizen does. Quarantine is not likely to happen. BTW: did you know over 200 people already die per day in the US from the flu right now?
The flu has a mortality rate of .1%. Corona virus has a mortality rate of, depending where you are looking, 2-20%. Good information is scarce. It's also thought to be 100-1000x as transmissible as the flu.
These are facts - you can DDG them. No one should panic. Support our President by being INFORMED and PREPARED. We will need to lead the way when liberals lose their shit.
