I think I'm ready. I've been preparing since Prester Jane graced these forums with insanity and WTF-ever. Tomorrow I see my doctor for the last extra of my prescriptions and to vote in the primary. On top of this I've got 4 months of cat food, water storage (I've got a filter), liquor, cigarettes, recreational drugs, and 2 vats of hand sanitizer I plan on sleeping in. I already work remotely so that's lovely. I'm high risk for poo poo going wrong so I'd like to avoid the public for a while

You guys don't want canned beans. I can't believe the thread has gone this far and you people are still buying canned beans. You want dry beans and you soak them overnight before cooking. Way cheaper and you can store twice as much in half the space. Plus you can soak them with a bit of garlic, oregano, etc if you get tired of plain old beans.

No pandemic, cataclysm or once in a millennia disastrous event will make me eat goddamn beans.
Enough with the loving beans, there's other non-perishable, actually tasty food you can store.
And I'm not just talking about hard liquor, though that is obviously one of them. Enough with the beans!

Presser about it soon.

It goes even further, this is a real neat lifehack (epidemiologists hate this trick), if you personally spread the disease to 2^8 people then a buffer overflow occurs, curing all of them plus an additional 2^8 people miraculously

It's a lot easier to lose track of asymptomatic infected than it is of corpses.

Doesn't actually matter, though, except to make containment impossible.

"If a COVID-19 pandemic occurs, public health officials may have additional instructions, such as avoiding close contact with others as much as possible, and staying home if someone in your household is sick." - Official insights from Public Health: Seattle & King County staff

News from King County Metro:

King County Metro posted:

King County Metro update on novel coronavirus

We learned with great sadness that a King County resident passed away this weekend from COVED-19 after contracting novel coronavirus and additional cases were identified by public health officials.



At this time, King County Metro service will continue to operate as scheduled.



Metro crews are cleaning buses and water taxis daily. In the event of an unsanitary condition, our continuing practice is to remove a bus from service for crews to conduct a thorough cleaning and disinfecting before it returns to service.



If you see something that needs attention please alert your driver, a transit employee, or relay the four-digit bus number to customer service staff at 206-553-3000, or via Twitter @kcmetrobus.



Just as important as cleaning buses, we are asking people who are out in the public – at work, schools, grocery stores, events – and needing to travel by public transportation to please follow the direction of Public Health officials.



If you are experiencing symptoms of the virus, it is essential for the health of the community – and to limit the spread of the virus within the community – for you to please stay home or telework, cover all coughs and sneezes, avoid touching parts of your face to avoid picking up the virus and wash your hands frequently.



We want to reassure the public that King County and Metro are actively tracking developments and coordinating with experts at Public Health and the state Department of Health to consider what additional steps are needed as the situation evolves.


I feel a lot less guilty about slacking on buying this month's ORCA transit pass....

No but seriously folks. Where on my body should I start punching first to fight the virus? Do I go all beating on my chest like Donkey Kong for hours and see if that killed it.

Maybe I could swallow burning hot sand and just roll around to mix it into my system and kill the virus that way.

Or maybe and just hear me out. I could drink all the alcohol. All of it. I hear germs die from alcohol wipes. That'll kill it for sure.
