Moving to Montana just south of Glacier to live this out up in my uncle's sweet 100 miles off-the-grid cabin-mansion that uses natural springs to generate electricity.

Also we all hunt so we should be fine.

Off topic, but serious question. Can you ask your uncle if a) they had a rally cold snap about a week ago (-25C or so), and b) has he noticed a sharp drop in snowshoe hare activity since it warmed up?

The good news is that children seem to be mostly unaffected by it. Your niece should be totally fine.

Our whole household had influenza b back in December and the 6 month old twins pretty much we unaffected outside of plugged noses. And it was only a couple days vs mom + me being completely floored for nearly a week.

So I went and bought a bunch of canned foods, toilet paper, baby formula, and pasta/rice/beans/nuts in bulk. Toilet paper was the only thing that was short here in town, mostly the larger packs. Bidet purchase sentiment: feeling pretty good about it.

When I got home I realized that my pantry was already full of all the staples that I was too lazy to cook, so now I have enough stuff to feed my fam for at least a 4-6 weeks (if not longer).

Based on some of the stuff coming out of china it's likely not to tank like it did last week, probably not a bad time to pick up some cheap stocks on the bump.

Whatever I had at the end of the year was nasty but I'm pretty sure it wasn't the virus. I can't remember much but it made me extremely exhausted and didn't have any sinus element to it like a usual cold.

I had the same thing end of December and it was a nasty strain of influenza b. Half way though I kept thinking “drat this is going to kill me some day”

Corona virus 2 months later: “Surprise fuckers!”

Not to be all conspiracy theory, but are there many other viruses out there that mostly ignore children?

Flu B pretty much ignored my 9 month old twins, my wife and I were wrecked for 1.5 weeks at least.

Talk about a special hell, twins+wife being so sick she cant move.

Uh use them to wipe their asses? Buying long lasting food and TP isn't exactly a waste of money since you can always use the stuff if the virus apocalypse doesn't happen.

If the hording is any indication people are going to be good on TP for a long time

alright so what should I do to prepare? I'm youngish so I'm not worried about dying but should I buy anything extra just in case? beans and rice? will stores really see shortages? I'm in a bigger city if that affects anything

Get a bidet

Seriously I just used mine for the first time and it’s crazy to think that normies smear poop around with paper.

As a youngish person you are likely to have mild symptoms or none at all so you’ll just need enough to make it a couple weeks just so you don’t get others sick.

water's one thing, but isn't the actual sprayer dirty? you know, by virtue of sitting in the rim of your toilet bowl

It can definitely cut glass but 0 poop on pat down is great and having a clean inside is a nice plus
