I’ve been wondering about this. Hope they are right. But what if the items inside the box have the germs?
I wonder if walmart grocery delivery would be safe from the virus. At least you wouldn’t even have to go to the store at all.
-
Perhaps, but also they may discontinue grocery delivery. Another thing to keep in mind are services like plumbers, electricians, Fedex ect. If it gets bad, then all bets are off.

AnonymousYep. If it gets bad enough we could get a cascading disaster, starting with this: https://www.theorganicprepper.com/5-days-without-trucks/
If that happens its only a matter of time till a grid down situation.

AnonymousOk, so what happens if it gets so bad here that US cities are quarantined or closed? If that happens it will likely be in Kalifornia, where most imports come in and lots of fruits and vegetables are grown. That will certainly impact trucking. What about in Texas and the south where most petroleum is refined? If that happens and you have to self-quarantine, or reverse self-quarantine as Cat Ellis calls it, will 14 days be long enough or will it be 2 months or more? Folks, lets pray it doesn’t get that bad.

@Log man, the wife and I have been contemplating the same. This does have the potential to being a real society impacting shake up.
How are people going to react?
In China, they are accustomed to if the government says something, they do it.
Not so much here. -

Another question becomes what guideline should a person use to go into self-quarantine lock down. One comment I read somewhere was a confirmed case within 100 miles of your home (you might want to include workplace if you commute some distance). But is that too restrictive to maybe lose your job over? For now, I’m using the 100 mile rule. Thoughts?

Looking at the time frame of how long to wait incubation is 14 days no signs for 7 or so days. The minimum safe time after last known case is 3x the incubation time of 14 so 42 days. This does not count of the virus/ bacteria can live outside a host body for longer.
Problem will become and always is news real reliable news not the shit spoon fed us by propaganda macHines. Without proper info you can not make sound decisions. I think 100 miles is too close because that means it had 10 days to get the 100 miles to you. You are reacting to a too late scenario. Also doctors are not gods they fuck up all.the time so misediagnosis is a very real issue.
Now add to that this stupid mix of sjw woke and cancel idiots and pressure some fear like too white a group fighting virus and let’s say a migrant group has infections that either go un reported due to their fear of going to hospital until desparate and doctor not wanting to be called a ist or ism for pointing out the obvious.
Now add the open sewer of LA and sanfransico and massive homeless people who are already not in best health mix and you will get a nasty nasty surprise.

You also have to look at population density. 100 miles in a rural area vs 100 miles in a major metropolis. I personally wouldnt be too concerned with the former and very concerned with the latter.
-
AnonymousI suppose you could call my state rural, although I certainly don’t think of it that way. I would estimate that 30%-40% of the land area of the state is within 100 miles of my house and would encompass most of the larger cities and a million people or maybe more. That’s probably less population density than 75% of the states in the US. Never the less a million people within 100 miles leaves a lot of people that can get sick. I think I’m going to stick with 100 miles for now. If they start quarantining US cities or if this virus starts spreading like wildfire I’ll reevaluate.

True @corsair
ebut where do all the things from your your local store come from? How many trucks transporting goods stop neat or in your town… how many miles does a trucker do in 7 days?If it passes by droplets as right now no info only guesses and it’s changing.
It comes down to this what level of risk are you willing toto expose yourself to? Do you have family that uses hospitals or works there? Does anyone have a comprised immune system.
-
I was looking at person to person transmission. We had a nasty bug here a few years ago. Cause the area is rather populated, it spread like wildfire. People were hospitalized. I got it but managed to stay out. BTW this was a bacterial infection which was treated with antibiotics.
I am taking this very seriously, and ready to bug-in if need be.
I also have a pandemic box to bring over to family members.
