They have come along way, the balanced 2 kilo calorie per meal sustains, nothing more and in a hostile environment, including combat, heavy snow, and somewhere you have never been before they are clutch. I've been up over 48hrs just living off a main every 4-6hrs, you need to get creative in mixing the bags so to speak, in to entree level solutions.
 
Serious question: I keep seeing Tweets and reports about various GOP and Trump administration people either self-quarantining or under suspicion or tested positive for the virus. Have any reports emerged of any Democratic politicians having the virus or being at risk of it via association? Or are they all immune?

What would happen if the virus was simply ignored and people lived life like normal? I would have to think there be less panic and fuller stores.

I never said I was all about myself. I asked what would happen. I didn’t say we should ignore it. I just simply asked what would happen if we did

Has what to do with disaster preparedness and self preservation?

Why would you insist on preparing for something that was supposedly "just a bunch of hype"? I think everyone here would like to know why you've consistently come across a self-absorbent, incompetent hypocrite.
 
God knows I hope this is over soon and I eat crow for being somewhat prepared. Let’s be real if it’s not over soon. Does everyone believe that there is enough food to continue to be stocked over and over for 320 million people? Does those that laugh think there is an endless food supply? Do they think money is endless? That is one boat I don’t won’t to be in. Because one day it will sink!
 
just got off, I’m glad I planned a few weeks to take a week off of (work part time) food lion, right now is actually something else, literally they got a truck of some stuff to restock including toilet paper and they had to block off a isle because as people started seeing them restock the toilet paper, people began swarming it, truly glad I don’t have to go back for a week, also they were putting water in the front and they had 100 out in the front, as soon as they put that down, people swarmed that, it’s madness

Panicking is a bunch of hype but ive said that already. Preparedness comes naturally to me but ive said that multiple times as well. Am I self absorbed? Well my family does come first but I took bullets in my ass so bad people dont put them in yours. I have tried to use those experiences to help young people like you with their arrogant head up their asses and YES that includes you whipper snapper. Perhaps when you grow up and mature a bit you will understand. Am I a hypocrite?.....lol. We all are buddy

Well I’m just worried when (if) this is all under control people will say that it was ridiculous for all the hoopla because it wasn’t that bad. But was it not that bad because of all the preparation and panic? We won’t really know for sure will we?

Ok boomer.
 
Georgia DPH has a age/sex breakdown of cases in the state so far; the most impacted age group is 60+, as one would expect. But I'm not sure why the percentage of males is so significantly greater though...

Some will just like hurricanes. I dont think it will be as bad because we have done a good job in my opinion. If that is indeed the outcome I will emphatically applaude
 
The state really needs to clarify. We have about 120 people (kids and teachers) at our daycare at any given time. Do we fall under the ban?

Stop with the name calling please... good grief. I get some people come across crass or nonchalant but he and others have been talking about the state of fear & panic. With crazy end of world type of numbers and hype. The thing is, one can be prepared and have an opinion that it may be overhyped both things can be true. You take necessary steps to control a situation without panicking, some people are panicking, that creates additional chaos.

Btw, I just finished up my last hoarding supply trip

Spent 550 on groceries today, 250 at Sams and 300 at Wally word. Entirely food, heavy meats, frozen veg and non perishables. I do have 8 cases of MREs and 4 cases water in the enduring stockpile, that is kept no matter what, and a ~8k munition supply. The MREs, H2O and Ammo are kept regardless, just prepared in that regard for whatever presents and to sustain if needed for 30 days.
