coronavirus

NEW -> Contingent Buyer Assistance Program
It seems that people are already starting to stock up at Costco here as well.  We should all thank eyephone for starting this awareness. It is best that we are take more caution.

Mety, IHO, and other believers here in TI. We should all pray that this corona thing disappears asap. Pray that San Francisco doesnt end  up looking like wuhan or daegu.

If everything really is out of stock all the time, it means those companies made killing! No economy slowdown or whatsoever!

Uh yeah. Fake analysis. Lol

Look at the big company forecasts. (Publicly released forecasts)

Hey I was kind of joking, but you can't say it was a "fake" analysis. You could say like "What a poor analysis" or something like that.

I was joking. Forget earnings just worry about being healthy.
 
Guys, this link gets updated daily so you see the spread at a global level. It appears that this thing is spreading very quickly in China and South Korea.

Don?t forget about. Medicine and cleaning supplies.

Yes, we should pray for sure. Especially for those who are suffering this virus without knowing Jesus as LORD that they will come to know God through this. While I do pray this thing'll disappear soon, it is also under His will that this thing broke out and we need to be in discernment to know what God is saying through this. Maybe we need to repent. Maybe we need to wake up. Maybe we need to pray not only when these things happen but every moment as He commanded. Everyone might take different reactions, but one thing for sure we know as believers is that we're not in control of our lives but God is. So in that, we remain in peace but pray earnestly for everyone's safety and health at the same time as well.
 
Freeze dried food canneries are reporting 6-8 week backlogs due to increased demand.  But these are prepper products for long-term storage up to 30 years.  Your needs may differ and what Costco sells -- Kirkland canned chicken/beef/fish/veggies, bottled water, etc. may be sufficient.

The 6 x 1 gallon Kirkland bottled water has 18 month best used by date, but when stored properly it still tastes fine after 3 years.  Smaller bottled waters, when left in the garage for a year, may have that plastic taste.  But you still need some smaller bottled water (or water bottles) in case if you need to leave the house.

Kirkland canned foods have 3-5 year best used by date, and may last longer when stored properly.  They're fully cooked "wet" cans that are ready to eat in an emergency, and can be rotated through monthly usage & replaced with new cans.  You should eat fresh (not canned) food where possible, but canned food (and highly processed foods) is OK couple times a week or in emergencies.

If you're on prescription medication, call your doctor and see if you can refill your meds early.  As last resort you can ask to buy generics out of pocket.  If the virus spreads, hospitals and pharmacies will be like petri dishes filled with wiggly stuff.

Also consider what happens if utilities are cut or interrupted.  If something is wrong at the substation or pump goes down, who's going to fix it if utility workers are staying home or bugged out?  Costco sells Kirkland and Duracell batteries in large packs with 10 year shelf life, so get some extra batteries for your torch/flashlight and battery powered lamps.

Check camping section at Walmart or sporting goods stores for a "honey bucket toilet seat" that fits over a bucket.  This is an emergency toilet.  Stock up on toilet paper and boxes of quality kitchen bags at Costco, the kitchen trash bags will fit the toilet bucket and are leak proof.  Instead of buying expensive disposable bucket toilet bags, just use the kitchen trash bags and toss (to your trashcan outside) often.  Because there is nothing covering the excretion inside the bag, it's best to tie and discard as soon as possible.  You can use those extra boxes of kitchen trash bags for your trashcan anyway. 

Visit your local hardware store and pick up couple buckets, work gloves, and a shovel if you don't already have one.  If trash pickup service is stopped then you may have to bury waste.  Back when people built privy/outhouse the minimum safe distance away from house is 50 ft, preferably 100+ ft.  Most of us don't have yards that big, so look around your community for suitable locations along green belts and such.  Make sure you label the locations for cleanup later.

Other sanitation items to buy at Costco include Kirkland Nitrile Exam Gloves (disposable), bleach, 70% alcohol (near pharmacy area, don't buy 91%), Hydrogen Peroxide, disposable plates and utensils (you might not have running water to do dishes), etc.

 
This is really getting ridiculous. This thing is more contagious than the flu but symptoms seem pretty similar. I talked to a doctor recently and they don?t seem concerned about the Coronavirus. The media loves headlines. People make it seem like the world is coming to an end. We are all going to get this thing one way or another. If you are healthy you will be fine. If you are old and have a compromised immune system then good luck but that is not any different than if they get something like the flu.
 
This is way overblown. Does anyone remember the swine flu?  Very similar track wit a 4% mortality rate (not 1-2% for corona) Around 20% of the WORLD got it. Around 200,000 DIED!!  I got it, along with my then 6 year old daughter. It was a bad cold. Money to be made here on the raw emotion being egged on.... we will be fine.

I think the flu is actually worse. Yeah, I really think the media is making the most out of it. Fake fear it is. There is nothing wrong with being careful and staying healthy, but it really is becoming a political play IMHO. It's only my opinion so it could be wrong also.
 
That goes for anything not just coronavirus. Cold, Flu, HIV, anything contagious. As I've stated, there is nothing wrong with being careful and staying healthy, but this Covid-19 might not be as bad as how the media is presenting.

Holy wait a minute Batman!  This bat coronavirus is way more serious than common human coronavirus.

You don't lock down the entire city for no reason.

You don't require a mandatory 14 days quarantine for coming from a common flu epidemic region.

And worst of all, you just don't cancel BTS concert unless there's something really really bad.
 
Mety,
Thank you so much for this post and I couldn't agree with you more. I am really humbled as I wish I can be as bold as you in speaking what Christ is telling you. You certainly have a gift of wisdom and discernment. I went Costco today and it was quite busy with a lot of Asians stocking up on water etc and I hope you do the same for precaution sakes for your family. I have no doubt in my mind that God will protect you and your family as God promises that he will protect the ones he loves.

God bless,
Panda

Of course the bat man isn't afraid of the bat virus. His radioactive lime diet also adds to his immunity.

For the record, I think the coronavirus breakout from a bat or bat soup is fake news also.

But you will not go to ground zero (China) for Free!!!
So I think a part of you believes it.

Bat or ant eater or something else. I still consider it as sick sh###.

Free is not a motivation of doing something. At least for me. Even if  give me a free ticket to Hawaii, I?ll probably pass that too.

I will say this much. The virus did not breakout from eating exotic animals. It was an easy target so they just took the blame. Now this is what I believe, but it could be false too.

I think I heard on the news that trading/eating the ant eater is illegal in China.

Your a big defender of China. But they could of totally stopped this after the SARS outbreak.

I read an article that the trading of exotic animals is big time in China like big money. (Maybe not now, but just to give you perspective)
 
So if the virus is common in animals, and it wasn't from eating said animals... how did patient zero catch it from an animal... hmmm?
