At this point I'd like to ask a question that some may find superflous and others may have asked themselves the same thing.
We are obviously talking a lot about human casualties or the quarantine, but when I pondered today what we would do if we were quarantined, I could not help getting worried about our animals.
Their food would soon run out and their bedding and poop litter.
We love them as our children [no children, I prefer animals], so I wouldn't know what to do. Would we have to watch them starve, would we have to put them down?
To me this is actually more scary than me catching this virus. After all, even if we don't catch it but are in quarantine, the animals will suffer just from the human panic alone and not from any illness.
I wonder what is happening in china with beloved pets?
I can imagine that a few ruthless people will just murder them, some even eat them. But what about those that really rely and love their pets?
I don't want stupid answers, or attempts at 'humour', I am really upset about this [yeah, I do care about animals just as much as humans, so bite me].
If you have a dog or cat or horse or anything that you love dearly because they are their own little persons, imagine being in quarantine and what might happen to them. Considering a lot of people will say 'they are ONLY animals', they have no rights nor will anyone care. Well I do!
We have a number of cats, dogs, hogs, cows, chickens etc. We are taking this seriously and are stocking up on food for them all. So far we have 3 months stored and will be upping this to 6 months in the next few days. This will include cat litter, bin bags etc. We would buy these things anyway over time so it’s not wasted money. All you can do is prepare, stock up and hope it isn’t as bad as some fear. I’m on the fence currently, but it’s wise to prepare. Doesn’t hurt and better now than when actual panic erupts.
I have a 90 day supply for my pets. This virus is artificially designed for 3 major cycles approx. 14-28 days per cycle. There is chatter that this could have a 4th cycle, but i can't confirm that yet.
edited to add: this is an intentional release of an artificial virus. This was not released by China
Please stop this nonsense.
As I've said from the start I believe we are witnessing the beginning of the most catastrophic event in the history of mankind, but even I think you're full of it and trying to big yourself up.
You've gone from being asked to do a study for a quaratine building, to then having a network of spies around the world feeding you "inside, secret knowledge", to now stating as a matter of fact that this is "artificially designed" and has "3 major cycles - and maybe 4 but "you need to confirm that".
What next?
You have a friend who is a plumber and had to change a washer in a tap in the staff kitchen at an office owned by NASA, and now he's got people feeding him secret info on space aliens and moon bases?
Honestly if you lot are taking this guy seriously you need a check up from the neck up.
Honestly, if you had a decent argument, you wouldn't need to resort to ad hominem attacks.
Yes I guess that is an attack, but I can understand it. As I said above, IF this information is correct, war will follow. Only a few places capable of constructing a virus like that and releasing it deliberately, VERY few with any gripe against China. Tracing the culprit would likely be quite simple. I’m not sure ANYONE is stupid enough. So you can under stand PS’s suspicion.
Having said that we learn today that China is sending its top Bio-Warfare scientist to Wuhan. So, possible but exceedingly unlikely.
As an utterly pointless aside, I dreamt of nuclear war last night engulfing several cities. Never dreamt of that before.
I understand it. However, any argument that engages in ad hominems immediately loses 90 percent of its credibility in my eyes. And POWER-SEMI: not reading any more of your posts. If you want to be an insulting dick, do it on your own time.

Just because we haven’t, doesn’t mean we won’t. It is ridiculous to play this down as some here are doing.

Sorry, I haven't seen anyone making light of anything. And I am not down playing anything. I am simply pointing to the numbers, and saying "look!".

President Donald Trump on Thursday sought to assure Americans about the spread of a new coronavirus, saying it would have “a very good ending for us … that I can assure you,”
Huangzhou District, which is part of Huanggang and close to Wuhan, has issued a 500 yuan ($71) reward for anyone who reports a person suffering from fever
People who leave their home without permission will be detained, according to the announcement in Dawu County. It follows a similar announcement from Zhangwan District in Shiyan.

The big jump in numbers may be because the WHO is there and China is finally starting to come clean with the real numbers, not because actual numbers jumped.
Sooner or later, those numbers would have had to come out, and you'll notice those numbers are closer to what has been predicted they were all along. It was surprising to see, but not outside what was expected they should be.

For the kitties, we'll just lay in big bags of super cheap litter and some big bags of less expensive kibble to mix with some much better quality food in sparing amounts. Measure it, and it actually stretches for quite a while. It's not an ideal diet or what we would normally feed, but for emergencies, it will keep them going.
