To all the retards saying theres no point in prepping because is not a big deal/nothing is happening,
consider the following:
>10% of the worlds population is currently under quarantine
>this segment of the population is part of a country that only cares about money and it has willingly shut down its own economy because of how devastating this pandemic is
>the virus has only begun accelerating worldwide in the past 3 days or so and if you had your ear to the ground you'd know this is real
>realize that this virus doesnt even need to kill 10% of the infected in order to completely fuck up as a much higher % of infected still require intensive care
>hospitals are not even slightly ready to treat everyone that will get sick
>at least half the population WILL catch this bug simply due to how infectious it is, its possible the most infectious virus in history
>you already cant get your hands on entry level breathing protection as these ran out of stock weeks ago

when the panic starts in your country and the rush on supermarkets begins the same way it did in china you'll either join the mob and increase your chances of infection 50 fold or be left out, even if you do join the panicking mob theres a limit to how much stuff you can get in such short notice while everyone is doing the same as you are, does it really seem all that outrageous to buy the same food items you were going to buy over the next few months right now in one go?

i already have enough non perishable food and water to last me a few months, canned tuna, sardines, rice, bread flower, these are all things i usually buy on the regular and simply bought a stock so i wont have to visit a potentially infectious crowded place, of course i also bought masks and eye protection since masks alone are simply not enough.
