For anyone who hasn't been keeping up on this:
coronavirus - Google Search
The World health organizations are taking this pretty seriously.
I'm in an area of California with a sizable recently-arrived Chinese population: Something over 75% of the international students attending the university here are Chinese, and many of them just arrived for the current quarter, so they would have been in China when the outbreak began.
So, since it's not really going to cost me any money I wouldn't have spent on food anyway, I'm going to spend the next few days stocking up on canned goods and things like rice, oatmeal, noodles (ramen), whatever else Youtube tells me to buy.
The real danger (what I'm concerning myself with anyway) isn't so much contracting the disease as it is waking up one morning and finding all the stores closed, or at the least supplies limited and prices skyrocketing.
With enough food and enough reading material I can hang out at my place for a month, no problem.
Anybody else taking precautions, just to be on the safe side?
