I wonder what will happen if some preppers get with their entire fammilies and go into shelters for 2-3 years without knowing that aboveground nothing happened and everything got fixed 5 mintues after they locked themselves in.

Look at it this way - if they institute plague rationing, that's socialism at its finest. People may discover that being equally miserable isn't all it's made out to be and lose their enthusiasm for big government control, central planning and rationing before it's all said and done.

Well, when the grocery store shelves are barren...
I will still have the storage foods, in buckets and containers to rely on---->
if the forced Quarantines are over 3 months long... then I will have to chance digging up our 3 patches of sweet-potato's which were not harvested last fall...but stayed in the ground (not expecting a wet winter this year)
then will be limited to a sweet-potato & sprout diet, for the duration of the CV rampage
I think many people think you are taking this a bit serious, I'm not at all.
Well there you go! Good man Professor.

master class in deception by macron
he literally changes the subject when a professor tells him he should tell the truth about the fact that france is the same situaion as italy and corona virus is simply circulating among them and not coming from abroad
for at least 2 weeks (i think much longer) they had local severely ill people in hospitals and it never occured to them to test (not even now) and then trace the virus around... or so it appears

I was at Costco yesterday. It was packed and just to find parking was a struggle.
I saw numerous people bulking up on canned goods, beans, canned meat.
The large bags of rice were gone.
Butter was very limited.
There was still bottled water but there were empty pallets and a very limited supply.
I was amazed how many people were buying disposable gloves.
The people who were not buying were older shoppers. They were obviously out of touch.
At checkout the cashier and the boxer started talking about the corona virus and that they had heard from the Costco store in Seattle that they were running out of stock of basic goods. They also said that the majority of orders were over $400.
I have a couple of additional stock up suggestions: batteries and lightbulbs.

Why is Pence in charge? Why would you not have a doctor, scientist, or someone with experience in dealing with contagions in charge?
Baffling move on the part of this (very non-scientific driven) administration.

If it gets to the point where hospitals are sending people home to basically die, then politics will be the least of our worries.

Not sure if this has been shared yet, but it speaks to the “phases” that have been previously discussed/debated...

The woman who tested positive twice, a resident of Osaka, in western Japan, tested positive on Wednesday after developing a sore throat and chest pains, the prefectural government said in a statement. The woman in her 40s first tested positive in late January and was discharged from hospital on Feb. 1 after recovering, according to the statement.
Though a first known case for Japan, second positive tests have been reported in China - one on Feb. 21 - where the disease originated late last year.
The outbreak has spread rapidly and widely, infecting about 80,000 people globally and killing nearly 2,800, the vast majority in mainland China.
Health Minister Katsunobu Kato said in parliament the government would need to keep tabs on the condition of those previously discharged, as health experts analyzed the implications of testing positive for the virus after an initial recovery.
"Once you have the infection, it could remain dormant and with minimal symptoms, and then you can get an exacerbation if it finds its way into the lungs," said Philip Tierno Jr., Professor of Microbiology and Pathology at NYU School of Medicine.
Tierno said much remains unknown about the virus. "I'm not certain that this is not bi-phasic, like anthrax," he said, meaning the disease appears to go away before recurring.
