Kung flu in omaha

Here it comes... Get ready.

Cruise ship passengers at an omaha medical Center have tested positive for novel coronaviris.
Well 11 out of 13 have.

I'm not into doom porn, hell I'm usually calling shenanigans on most doom porn but be damn careful with this one.
I wouldn't trust the Chinese to be upfront with the real numbers. My wife has a friend in China teaching English and she says it's much worse there than is being reported.


Get some supplies ready for several weeks of isolation.

The information we are receiving is all over the place.

You are right, above anything else, it would behoove one to gather at least an extra months supplies if that's possible.

Personally, I'm limiting my exposure to others even family.

I liken Chinese being forthwith to Harbor Frieght Tools. Sounds good but you know its BS.

Wu-Tang Flu ain't nothing to fudge with!

We went out shopping and got our pantry up to par, ten 31 ounce cans of coffee should be adequate. We always stock food to last three months minimum, in rotation all the time. That is three months for around fifteen people, the kids are lousy at keeping foods stocked. I doubt if any disruption will last more than three months. I do not want to be standing in line at a store getting food when there is sickness all over. Getting sick sucks, even if it only lasts three days.

Wuflu
Kung flu
Winnie the flu
Bat AIDS

All are acceptable.

We only have perhaps 3 weeks worth of food- 4 if we are pushing it but most of it is canned.

Water we have only 8 days if rationed (.5 gallon per day) = 9 gallons for 2 people.

Problem is meds I only am given 1 month at any given time. i suppose i could taper off if i needed to and since I am young I would be alright.

Interestingly enough, minimum water to survive is 1 liter a day.

If that is the case then we have about 2 weeks of water. Then our camping microfilter thing for ponds etc.

Learn the basis of the meds you take, certain food chemistries can take the place of those meds so there is not a rapid change if the meds run out. You can stock those foods and herbs that do basically the same thing.

I treat my epilepsy with diet because I was intolerant to all five classes of meds they tried on me. I researched the chemistry of the pill then found foods containing higher amounts of that chemistry. It sucks controlling epilepsy completely with diet, but at least if I stagger the antiepileptic properties I do not get really sick like I did on the epilepsy meds.

Fifteen days of stock will probably be adequate, and I would think that the Pharmacies will be open for business. If they were not, the quick withdrawel from medicines would probably kill or cause mental disturbances in a lot of people.

Isn't there a way you can get the three month supply prescription from your doctor? It is usually cheaper but even with that, you could wind up almost out before they close up stuff. But it is better to have two less months out of three to worry about. My wife gets her meds every three months, she does that because the copay is less.

Is reporting only 16 confirmed cases in the US right now. It was 15 just yesterday. 0 deaths and 5 recovered. The numbers don't match or allow for 11 new cases.

My wife an I did the same last weekend. 14 cases of can goods from Aldi, 2 additional gallons of vodka In case I have to disinfect anything, and tripled up on dried goods. In a pinch we could stay at home all summer, but it would be a boring life.

What kind of canned goods come in cases? And how many cans per case?

We don't have any vodka but we have rubbing alcohol, peroxide and a first aid kit plus a wound kit.

Then those numbers are wrong.

It cost us about a hundred bucks to bring our pantry up to par. We needed to get stuff like water chestnuts and organic canned tomatoes and sauces, we were getting low on the stuff we use often We get most of the stuff when things are on sale, and sometimes there are not a lot of sales so we fluctuate. It just happened that the stuff we were low on went on sale in the last couple of weeks. We were never down to being out, we were down to maybe two cans of things, so now we are stocked up to the higher amount again. We were completely out of canned cranberries though, and out of canned Clam Chowder. Those things are important, we just had a roasted chicken and we would have had to drive to the store for cranberries if we were out. It saves money to stock things you use regularly.

Wash your hands, you'll be fine. It's just a cold bro.

All joking aside... This was a bad week to familiarize myself with the stock market. NYSE just took a steaming load on my chest.

we got about 3 months worth of rice the other day too (for us thats a 20 lb bag)
I am wondering if you cant spare water for cooking how that would be trying to eat raw lol

It won't do. It will swell in the stomach and you will have to drink the water anyway.

That's the reason for not throwing rice at weddings. It kills birds.

They're supposed to be splitting US stats out. Positive for Diamond Princess; positive for repatriation flights; positive for domestic.

So there should be three numbers.
