I can kinda understand toilet paper, because the idea is if it's a bad outbreak going out to get stuff like that is risky.

But why water? Do they think the water pumps are gonna get sick?

Apparently the Italian cases are genetically distinct from the Chinese ones, so it's been spreading there for weeks already. It's everywhere at this point, and has probably been quietly spreading for a while.

I mentioned in this thread that earlier in the week I had a pretty high fever, wheezy chest, etc. I ended up going to the docs - she told me it was viral, she'd been seeing a lot of it around, and I'd probably be feeling the effects for 2-3 weeks in total. It's been a week since my symptoms first started and I'm still definitely sick, although not feverish at least.

But beyond some cursory questions about if I'd been to China or South East Asia recently, she didn't even seem to entertain the idea that it could be Coronavirus - and it probably isn't. But the symptoms are literally the exact same, so it could very easily be here and we won't know because we won't start testing en masse until the serious cases start popping up.

These are true things but rabbits also like to make burrows and then they wind up pooping down there, so unless you keep them in a hutch you're just going to wind up with a bunch of fertilizer-filled tunnels under your property.

e: Keeping them in a hutch is totally an option of course, we built a huge one with a ramp that goes down to a lower enclosed area, most of it is covered to keep my babies safe from the rain

Don't keep rabbits outside if you claim to care about their welfare.

Most of the time I'm completely against beating someone bloody in a supermarket check-out line, but if she really did rip his mask off and say she was going to infect him then this was more of a teaching moment than a beatdown. Attempted murder sometimes leads to very serious physical consequences!

Lol at people in America freaking out so hard about new sars. Like Americans are panicking more than we are here, in Singapore, where there’s a quarantine facility next door to my house, where we actually have loads of cases, in this small rather dense country where most people ride public transit and eat communally.

It truly is woven into the fabric of Americanism to be a bit of a prepper :911:

(I’m mostly joking, obviously how Singapore handles the situation is not replicable other places. I would probably also be panicking if I were back home in a country without a functional government)

I mean, the federal government is doing everything in its power to not test people for community transmission despite it becoming very clear that its going on.

That seems like a pretty good reason for Singapore not to freak out. Meanwhile, US citizens are collectively waking up to the fact that they'll be out $23,000 ($3k test + $20k isolation costs) minimum, and likely several hundred thousand+ if admitted to the ICU. That's probably leading to a lot of :derp: in the US right now.
