It's not the apocalypse, but the prepper economy sure is getting a boost!
Yeah, not that level. I think it would be prudent to stock up on a few extra non-perishable items and some gallons of water.
I consider the likelihood of losing access to potable water akin to the likelihood of a massive mid-Atlantic blizzard this season. And if we lose access to potable water, we're each going to need a lot more than "some gallons of water" to get us through, Danny.
Extra non-perishables are fine, if it makes you feel better to avoid the store during the first few weeks of infection in your area. There's not going to be any avoiding this pathogen for long, though, without really going into seclusion. Sorry.
Your points are correct. I am saying that some extra supplies may keep you from needing to go out as much during frenzied buying. Humans can tend to get quite chippy in survival mode.
