At what point do you batten down the hatches?

If we entered a time of Civil Unrest/Armageddon/Zombie Attacking, what would we do?

Which it will.

So we've had things like SARS and H1N1, high mortality but low infectiousness.

Now we have C-19, highly infectious but low mortality.

It's the next one to worry about, when highly infections and high mortality combine...
I wouldn't say it was low mortality it's running at a 3-4% mortality rate

It's a rubbish designer virus if we're all still here. It only has a R-0 of 4 at best. Weaponised smallpox or measles with a R-0 of between 12 and 18 is what you want.
This came from wildlife and China's crap animal welfare situation. The market in Wuhan where this virus originated is where they sell and slaughter exotic animals for the wealthiest Chinese palate. They stack the animals in tiny cages one on top of each other. So the sick bats as the lightest at the top of the stack s*** and puke on the animals below, pangolins in this case. The infected pangolins transmitted the virus to patient zero, probably who ever slaughtered it and didn't keep a clean station or hands for that matter. Pretty much how bird flu, SARS and swine flu started, in China and their filthy markets.

There's also the virology labs next door to the market but that's just a sheer coincidence 8-)

During The Siege of Sarajevo, the longest seige of a capital city in modern warfare, toilet tissue practically became worth its weight in gold because it actually allowed people to hold on to a bit of dignity when just about everything else had been stripped away.

Those that had surplus stocks actually traded it for other items such as food, fuel and ammunition!.

Wandered into Tesco today and bought some coffee and a few things for lunch. A guy was coming towards me with a trolley stacked to brimming with Andrex.

He looked at me like I'M the crazy one.

It was just the line about humanity having no dignity that caught my eye......whether it is a disease, war, drought or famine etc anything that keeps a bit of human dignity going is a good thing.

I wonder if this panic buying is a generational thing, with us folks over a certain age just getting on with it as usual whilst the younger generations are panicking........

Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.
It will never go off so what's the problem with having a few extra in stock? :D
