Prepping For Pandemic ..... 10

[ItsNotJustTheFuckingFlu]

Just quickly starting new thread as @wheresmymoji is busy. Special thanks to @ofwarren for the updates and special thanks from to everyone posting useful info and being supportive.

I wonder if they're about to announce our 1st fatality

@IheartNiles If you don't see it necessary to be prepared then don't bother , i don't see the point in you posting here if you are only going to make unhelpful comments.

They promised a real time map.I'm hoping that the gis guy (like they gis guy I've ever dealt with) isn't answering his phone and the maps not working.

@IheartNiles nobody is making you read this and you're being rude.I suggest you go for a walk in the lovely calming rain

oh god WitchDoc, hope not

I’ll read and say what I like thanks. It’s not a bad thing to challenge some of this hysteria.

Define hysteria & get back to me

@IheartNiles Who's being hysterical? There is a big difference between preparation and hysteria.

Being prepared is sensible and it's not causing any harm, there isn't anything to challenge here between you and preppers, the only challenge I see is between Covid-19 and us humans.

Nicely put and very true @MoonlightMistletoe

Why the misconception that preppers must be panicking??
The only time I would be panicking was if I HADNT prepared for this weeks ago.
I've got all I need and don't even have to leave the house if I don't want to.

The people I can see panicking are those who are out frantically searching for hand gel right now.

Preppers are the only ones not panicking.

@IheartNiles odfod.

Another shop done
Essentials such as wine, whisky and beer 😉
About half of it put to the the tinned and dry prep and the rest just usual chilled and frozen foods.

Ordered a few more bits for the kids from Amazon. Glue, paper, chalk that kind of thing. They did 4 hours of education stuff this morning and are now on Minecraft 😁

UPDATE on coronavirus (#COVID19) testing in the UK:

As of 9am 5 March 2020, a total of 18,083 people have been tested:

17,968 negative.
115 positive.

For latest information and today’s regional breakdown visit:

No missing items on this evening's Ocado shop apparently. Though I definitely couldn't order a good few things I wanted so we can't say they were fully stocked. And everything Dettol was sold out.

screenshot of area

115 total cases. Breakdown is shockingly appalling IMO

i'll try again screenshot of areas

Just been to pick up my (two) monthly antibiotic prescription and got my meds no problems which is good because my antibiotic was on a list I saw of stuff India is stopping exporting as no ingredients from China coming through.

We must be the only country to have over 100 cases with no deaths ...

It's all still a bit too sketchy. Would be good to know exact locations

Just have to go looking

"On geographic breakdowns, we will publish regional data of new cases immediately and more localised breakdowns within 24 hours."

Maybe to avoid panic in the new areas, or to give more time in tracing all contacts of the infected person?

Thanks @lightofmine

25 in London. But WHERE in London? It’s not specific enough.
