Due to my husbands copd and needing oxygen at night , my own Asthma and I’m on a biologic which can leave me at a higher risk for fighting an infection, of any kind.

For us the Flu is a huge deal and now the Corona virus.. even bigger. Yes I believe it is going to spread ...that’s just what a new virus does.

China reports things are slowing down... ummm okay but they waited far to long to let anyone know there was a problem so I’m leery about there being honest.

Most deaths are people who already have a underlining health problem. My husband and I fit in that box.

I need to hit the stores tomorrow to pick up my typical groceries, we already have 7-8 cans of Lysol , literally 2 gallons of hand sanitizer, not kidding it was a hell of a deal lol and we have a well and use a Britta filter so I don’t need water thankfully

Since I have cows for neighbors if we need to hunker down I’ll easily have enough food for 6-7 weeks. We might get awful tired of rice and beans but that’s okay.

I see my T on Wednesday and I really really need to see him, I’ll just do what I always do in flu season use a Kleenex to open doors and Purel is my best friend and actively not touch my face. Something I learned decades ago when I first took a job on healthcare.

I do want to fill up the car and truck gas tank.

I grew up in Florida 5 mins from the beach..every year we would stock up for hurricane season rotate stuff from the year before into food we would eat .. so my stocking up for this doesn’t feel like overboard, it feels normal.

Sure death rates sound low.. but when it’s your loved ones or friends ?? Yeah those numbers won’t soothe a loss.

I’m not panicked just prepared
