FWIW, we did some HUGE grocery shopping to stockpile all sorts of foods that will last.   We realize we can't hide out forever, but the less contact with the general public, the less chance we will contract something.  Plus, the stores where we shop now allow us to order online, and drive up to pick up our order.  We don't even have to go in the store.  Both our local Fred Meyer, and Safeway offer this service.

I will admit that I like to select my produce so I get the best looking stuff.  To get that, while wife unit is waiting for the on line order, I do a fast run through the produce and fresh meat department to get things.  I was really happy to find fresh Dungeness crab for $5.99 per pound.  I grabbed four of those as I'm the only person in the house that eats crab.

My little 16 year old, 10 pound, damned near toothless dog really likes crab because it is a "meat" that he can chew..(gum actually, but it gives him the feeling that he is actually chewing meat)...so I yield to spoiling him by giving him crab.   Hopefully, good karma will follow me when I get really old and toothless, and someone will bring me a cigar, drink of liquor, or some tasty food that the dietician says I shouldn't eat.

Might want to pick up some HEPA shop vac filters to make a positive/negative pressure room.

Also a small blower of some sort, like one from a microwave that forces air to an outside vent.

Then take the microwave transformer and make an ozone generator to dishinfect the mail.

I'll take a look at my Chinese ozone genny. The solid ceramic double sided PC board material is the critical part that is connected to the high voltage. Mine's just components, no housing. Should be no issue to make a substitute for the ceramic PCB. I have some Rogers ceramic [Teflon loaded ceramic] high dielectric low-loss microwave PCB in 12" x 12" sheets. Actually a case of it.

The potential across the edges of the sheet [it's about 4" square, ionizes the O2 in the air and disassociates it. O is very unstable and is anxious to bind with another O molecule ASAP.

I bought it to de-mold some shoes my SO ordered.

From China...

I think we got a refund when they wouldn't advance the postage [~$68 with tracking] to ship them back, love eBay's policies.

I go to a university in the midwest with a TON of Chinese students.  Several masks on today, only Chinese students. Some joking about corona and lime, but no serious discussion.

I know several of my Chinese colleagues went home for the Christmas break, came back around the 12th.  I think they'd be sick by now if they had it.

CVS by my house still sold out of surgical masks, Home depot sold out of N95.

Wife is taking this seriously, which is a good surprise.  Usually rolls her eyes at any prepping stuff I talk about.

The general atmosphere at school was on edge- people seemed to all be thinking about it, but nobody wanted to talk about it in a serious way for fear of being judged.

Many people fiendishly using little hand sanitizer bottles (good!).

My observation from this last Saturday until today.  Saturday all the stores that carried masks near by were fully stocked, come today they are all empty.

Saturday I went to a few local business and ran into many people i know and none we’re talking about the virus.  Today I made the same run and everyone was talking about it. Many were complaining that there wasn’t any masks to be found.

So the general public around here is starting to become aware.  No where near a panic. Most still didn’t even understand how the virus was effecting China.

Was at Costco a couple of days ago, saw one masked person.
No shortage of anything, usual prep stuff or otherwise.

On a jobsite (small business remodel) yesterday and one of the electricians was wearing nitrile gloves, a black surgical mask and full coverage eyepro.
Uncommon to see PPE on a jobsite like that, especially when doing trim work (he was just installing receptacles and wiring light fixtures). I was going to strike up a conversation with him and ask about it but didn't.
He didn't interact with anybody, did his job and left without saying a word.

Lowes had no bulk pack N95 masks by me. A couple of 3 packs (that I grabbed) and a couple of 1/2 face respirators.
Harbor Freight was fully stocked with masks, gloves and respirators. I don't trust their masks to do much of anything so I passed but I did grab a couple of extra boxes of their 6 mil nitrile gloves (I used them when working on cars).

ETA: Once Impeachment is over, I suspect the media is going to pivot to this as a wall to wall story and the herd is going to go bonkers. Hopefully everybody took advantage of that golden hour to make ready.

According to sources in China, you will get this virus through any mucus membrane, such as your eyes. Also, viruses in this family with like that.

Dust and surgical masks are to prevent you from SPREADING disease, not from contacting them.

You can buy all the dust masks you want if it makes you feel better, but they provide minimal protection for you at best.

Prepare to bug in. Stockpile energy and food and water.

UV light kills SARS virus, which is closely related to this one, as does 60c for 15 minutes.

This is more general rambling that a specific reply to FlyLeaf's post, but it seemed like a good jumping-off point...

It's a little outside the scope of the current event, but something to think about when considering true long-term preps is the ability to produce, not just store food.  If you don't have a garden, put one in this spring and start figuring it out (believe me, it's a lot more involved than just poking some seeds into the ground).  Even a few Homer buckets on a patio or balcony can produce a considerable amount of food if you know how.  If location allows, build a simple chicken coop and pick up a few laying hens... even some suburban areas are getting more relaxed about this as long as you don't have a noisy-ass rooster going off at 4:00 AM every morning (though if you can swing it, a rooster makes the flock self-replenishing).

Even right now, in the dead of winter, you can sprout some wheat berries in a plastic planter on a windowsill.  The resulting wheat grass is highly nutritious, if not exactly culinary Nirvana.  With a few 4' LED shop lights, it's pretty simple to set up a small indoor greens garden that can provide useful quantities of leaf lettuce, spinach, even radishes and a few other easy-to-grow crops. I've got a few setups like this that we use to produce some fresh greens in winter, then switch to starting bedding plants for the garden in spring:



Having even a little bit of fresh stuff goes a long way in breaking up the monotony of the stuff most folks put back for emergencies, but the real value lies in picking up the skills to be truly self-sufficient if it ever comes to it.  Real "preparedness" is more a permanent mindset than a one-off burst of activity in answer to a specific event, and it's not a bad way to live.

a temporal decrease in mean human body temperature has been under study for some time, with one of the more recent publications as follows...

https://elifesciences.org/articles/49555


Myroslava Protsiv, Catherine Ley, Joanna Lankester, Trevor Hastie, Julie Parsonnet  
Stanford University, School of Medicine, United States; Stanford University, United States

Abstract

In the US, the normal, oral temperature of adults is, on average, lower than the canonical 37°C established in the 19th century. We postulated that body temperature has decreased over time. Using measurements from three cohorts—the Union Army Veterans of the Civil War (N = 23,710; measurement years 1860–1940), the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey I (N = 15,301; 1971–1975), and the Stanford Translational Research Integrated Database Environment (N = 150,280; 2007–2017) — we determined that mean body temperature in men and women, after adjusting for age, height, weight and, in some models date and time of day, has decreased monotonically by 0.03°C per birth decade. A similar decline within the Union Army cohort as between cohorts, makes measurement error an unlikely explanation. This substantive and continuing shift in body temperature—a marker for metabolic rate—provides a framework for understanding changes in human health and longevity over 157 years.

Introduction

In 1851, the German physician Carl Reinhold August Wunderlich obtained millions of axillary temperatures from 25,000 patients in Leipzig, thereby establishing the standard for normal human body temperature of 37°C or 98.6 °F (range: 36.2–37.5°C [97.2- 99.5 °F]) (Mackowiak, 1997; Wunderlich and Sequin, 1871). A compilation of 27 modern studies, however (Sund-Levander et al., 2002), reported mean temperature to be uniformly lower than Wunderlich’s estimate. Recently, an analysis of more than 35,000 British patients with almost 250,000 temperature measurements, found mean oral temperature to be 36.6°C, confirming this lower value (Obermeyer et al., 2017). Remaining unanswered is whether the observed difference between Wunderlich’s and modern averages represents true change or bias from either the method of obtaining temperature (axillary by Wunderlich vs. oral today) or the quality of thermometers and their calibration (Mackowiak, 1997). Wunderlich obtained his measurements in an era when life expectancy was 38 years and untreated chronic infections such as tuberculosis, syphilis, and periodontitis afflicted large proportions of the population (Murray et al., 2015; Tampa et al., 2014; Richmond, 2014). These infectious diseases and other causes of chronic inflammation may well have influenced the ‘normal’ body temperature of that era.

The question of whether mean body temperature is changing over time is not merely a matter of idle curiosity. Human body temperature is a crude surrogate for basal metabolic rate which, in turn, has been linked to both longevity (higher metabolic rate, shorter life span) and body size (lower metabolism, greater body mass). We speculated that the differences observed in temperature between the 19th century and today are real and that the change over time provides important physiologic clues to alterations in human health and longevity since the Industrial Revolution.

Over the weekend -

Saw only one person at the big box warehouse with an unusual cart loadout.   Saw a couple of people with masks on - younger people, not the usual old asian couples.

Saw several people, some couples, bucket shopping at the big box home improvement store.   Gamma lids were sold out.

Later saw some of the same people at the nearby restaurant wholesaler eyeing up bulk dry foods.

Buckets and lids virtually gone at the ag store.

Hand sanitizer nearly gone at any of the pharmacies; large displays in stock at Walmart.

Edit, 2/8 -

Hand sanitizer non-existent at Walmart.   People wandering around hacking and sneezing all over the place, though.

A few more people with masks in public.   Big displays of cases of N95 3M stuff in the big box home improvement stores.

Lowes still had N95 masks in stock, even some bulk packs.
