Are You Worried About Coronavirus?

Those 45 are not infected.

My understanding is that they are.
This is the most up to date tally and most accurate count I've found available: https://infographics.channelnewsasia...WAsM4WV_qKOeIk

The overall count this morning went up by over 1000 people in less than 24 hours.

I love how the number doesn't subtract ever, I mean there are lots of people who recover but that is never highlighted.

This site shows recovery as well:

I noticed in the flyers last night that basic staples were on really cheap sales. I'll be stocking up on some things for sure, but more because I'm frugal by nature.

For this particular website- it is mapping "confirmed cases" because that is what tracks the spread.

Preparing in case.. getting extra supplies in such as non perishables and medications so that if it does come to my area I am not out crowded stores with my own kids and have them on hand if needed.

Any ideas on what to stock up on in case it all goes to heck??

I am assuming we will still have running water and electricity?

I went to Costco last night and bought some pasta, sauces, frozen fruit and veggies. Cold medications, Advil and Tylenol. My husband has severe asthma and he got more medications as well but anything I should be doing for him?

I am a preppier but I don’t think this event is going to be that dangerous. I feel people are overreacting and more fearful and starting to isolate themselves. I guess there will be a run on food because that is what people worry about. Go to Costco and buy a 20lb bag of rice. You can always use that no matter the occasion.

Sooner of later we all catch a cold or the flu. Just work to build up your immune system and get good rest at night.

I’m scared. But I’ve been following it since early January, thought it reached the tipping point last week. Take a look at the worldometers website and check out the paper published on the 72,000 cases in China. Broken down not just by age and sex but also comorbidity. Scary for me because I am diabetic and have high blood pressure. Epidemiologists are predicting 40 to 70% of the world will have had coronavirus by the end of November.

Doing my best to get prepared. Actually wish my kids would take it seriously.

I agree but also don’t want to be left unprepared! Two of my daycare parents are scientists and one used to work in the medical emergency preparedness field and they were telling me they were preparing so it kinda freaked me out!

I an concerned and have purchased extra cleaning supplies, shelf stable food, extra toilet paper, etc. in case things shut down here. With flu, there is herd immunity that protects people, and we have vaccines and anti virals to treat.

Never thought about the anti viral drugs. I wonder if they are trying this for coronavirus. There are many types of anti viral medications, you have to wonder? Could it help
