CoronaVirus

China, 780 million in quarantine. They basically gave up on reporting the numbers. Iran, 50 dead. This is starting to spread fast outside of China.

No vaccines. More reports that this came out of a lab.

World stock markets are selling off like I thought they would. Nothing is being shipped. The ships are sitting in ports and outside of them. There is no one to load and off load them. Food is spoiling on the docks and on the ships.

When the virus takes hold in this country. It will rip through the homeless fast. You will see the dead in the streets. California will get hit hard.

I ordered some long term emergency food from My Patriot Supply on the 14th. I got an e-mail from them.

"We want to thank you again for your recent order and give you an update on its status. We understand good communication is important to you.

My Patriot Supply continues to experience 10x normal demand for our preparedness products. This continues to cause a shipping delay for approximately 70% of orders.

For most orders being delayed, including yours, they’re taking about 7-10 days to ship. Our teams across our multiple warehouses are working around the clock to produce, pack, and ship our shelf-stable food products as quickly as possible.

In a small handful of cases, orders may take up to 14 days before shipping. We apologize for this delay and thank you for your patience as we navigate these unprecedented times.

As you probably have heard by now, My Patriot Supply is known for being the industry leader in delivery speed, and we still are. We promise we’re working hard to get back to normal 2-day delivery as quickly as possible."

I've talked to others. And other suppliers are totally sold out

Grocery stores still have plenty of rice, beans, etc.

I live in Tornado Alley and like to keep a few weeks worth of food and water stashed away. Over the last few years, I've bumped that up to about a two months supply. I'm not buying in to all the gloom and doom (yet) but I'm no expert on epidemics so I'm starting to stock even more. Better safe than sorry.

Edit: You can find a lot of slightly used camping equipment (stoves, lanterns, heaters, etc) at garages sales for cheap. Hard to go wrong with Coleman brand equipment - a friend and I have quite a lot of Coleman stuff from the 1950s-1990s that still works great and spare parts are easy to find.

I've been snowed in, had the power go out, had to boil water. It's no fun when chit runs low. I have about 2 months supply on hand.

Grocery stores in some countries are empty. People panic and start mass buying. This is one of the reasons I like to have a stock on hand.

After getting the initial few weeks supply (not a lot for one adult and two dogs), it's been a bag of beans here, some salt there, a box of Mason jars every now and then, etc. I haven't caused any dips in the supply.

I also keep a good supply of batteries for flashlights and radios.

I have a couple containers of Mountain House. The stuff is pretty tasty. I use it on my hunting trips. I ordered some from Patriot Supply to try out. I have a couple bags of beans and rice to add to the other stuff. Also have ramon noddles and cup of soups.

I was on Amazon a few weeks ago trying to order some hand sanitizer for my brother. Seems all the sellers had a 1 month shipping time window
