Also, thanks to everyone on here that sou dedicated the alarms. Prepared myself for atleast 2 to 3 months. Going out now to get another 3-6 months worth of supplies . Better to be prepared and have extra, than the alternative.
I've been taking cold showers and doing the 75 Hard challenge. I'm thinking eating healthy, moving my body, and drinking a gallon of water a day could keep my immune system strong, as long as I don't catch the virus at the gym or walking around the neighborhood.So...anyone doing the Wim Hof Method?
Might be worth a look if it allows you to tune up your immune system.

...Here's how it's working with this new virus (see 12:25-13:05):

When I was in Haiti, you could just go down to the pharmacy and buy whatever drug you wanted. If they had it, they would fill it. There was no prescription barrier.We provide caregiving services in our two (soon to be three) homes. Really, our only supply chain concern is medication. Its not possible to get 2-3 months of prescriptions, so we are a little concerned there. I did buy a large supply of food stuff, toiletries, and other items that we use to keep the houses sanitary. Overall, I am feeling confident in our ability to mitigate this thing until a vaccine is developed. We are continuing to discuss our procedures should it arrive in our community in semi-rural Oregon, since we live onsite at our place of business, have a large family of our own, and have employees.
Heh, not a shot in hell. It is very heavily regulated/documented, and the government tracks how we distribute the prescriptions. I would be in some serious hot water if I ever did anything like that.When I was in Haiti, you could just go down to the pharmacy and buy whatever drug you wanted. If they had it, they would fill it.

I wonder if you could get creative and temporarily source the meds you need from outside the US.
Was shopping yesterday and noticed that there's already been a run on sanitizer and various cold/flu medications. Big brands were all out of stock and the generics looked like they were also starting to take a hit.
This is in the Ottawa suburbs. The closest confirmed case of this virus was a 5 hour drive away in Toronto (there's a new case in Montreal this morning but nobody knew about it at the time of my shopping trip).
The news last night kept throwing "supplies running out" stories for our city as well. The panic is setting in.
If your medicine cabinet and first aid kit isn't well stocked - you should be looking to do so now, even if you don't live anywhere close to a confirmed case.
This isn't about being a "prepper" by any stretch. This is about KNOWING there's going to be a very real supply problem on certain items and making sure you have what you need.
There is all kinds of speculation about how bad the virus itself is going to be, and whether or not you'll even be hit with it where you live - but that doesn't really matter. There is no doubt at all about how people are going to behave as panic rises. It's smart to get ahead of it.
Someone suggested water purifiers. Might be irrational and foolish but electricity generators could be helpful if electricity supply breaks down (don't spend life savings for that lol)Anything else?
Damn, so it's now in my backyard...
I guess it's time to start taking this more seriously...
Anybody have a list of supplies one should get? Food is obvious, masks if you can get them, Hand sanitizer. A first aid kit. Anything else?
There isn't a threat to water or electricity. Really the main concern is the supply chain. Anything you buy at a store could potentially be impacted in some kind of way. I am stocking up a couple months worth of stuff that we already use that has good shelf life, or something that I can store away to extend its shelf life in a refrigerator or freezer, or with a foodsaver. If things blow over and life returns to normal, then essentially I have just pre-purchased things that I will use anyway. If things go pretty bad, then I will be grateful that I made the investment.

Side bar, my uncle was one of the foremost radiologists in the USA. I bet you know him or know of him. I miss that old guy, especially for questions like this.
I might. It’s a small field. What was his name.
Oregon just announced their first case. It was a community transmission, and the individual has been spending time at an elementary school up near Portland. They don't know how the person was infected.
Edit.... sorry, "presumptive" case. Waiting for the test results from Atlanta to confirm the diagnosis.
I was going to post this in the BJJ thread, but I was afraid of turning it in to Coronavirus thread. I do expect MMA schools to see a slow-down during an outbreak/pandemic. It's hard to imagine someone signing up to learn grappling with all the COVID19 headlines right now. Any business that has a lot of close physical contact might have a tough time.
Here in Italy we are re-opening schools. The same goes for museums, bars, cinemas, and every other aggregation place.
Take this information as you will.
Those who drink Fernet Branca will be fine.Italians.
