Ordered n99 masks on Amazon yesterday with extra filters for the family. Selected 2 day delivery. Fine. We’re good I thought.
Read more on this virus and fox biz reporting masks nearly seelling out in NY&NJ, went back to check order. Turns out 2-day means it will ship 2-day shipping after it is shipped...Expected arrival...February 3. Hmmm
China reports that 250-350,000 could be infected in wuhan alone by February 4. Not good.
Went back and updated my order to ‘next day’. Each of the attempts resulted in “we’re sorry, there was an unknown error processing your request...working to resolve it for you”
Went to Lowe’s this morning and picked up 60 n95, latex gloves and six gallons of pool chlorine (10%)
Proverbs 27:2 “the wise see danger and prepare”
To little known at this point. By the time a declaration of a danger cou ld be announced, these things will be gone.
Things I needed anyway...
Pool bleach...I’ll use it to pressure clean my roof tiles of mildew. Masks...I’ll use it to blow insulation into my attic in March. Latex gloves...use then ask the time for painting, bait prep, car work, cleaning my neighbors bang sticks, picking up piles, and I mean PILES of giant breed dog poop, planting etc.
But if I don’t prepare for the ones I love and me, who will?
Hurricane prep has taught us to prep early and because of this, we have carried on well after over three weeks without power.
Paranoid? Maybe
Prepared? Best I can at this stage
Ordered n99 masks
Were possibly looking at preparing for a potential shelter in place for two+ months if this is pandemic.
Right now is get the things you need, will use and will sell fast if news gets bad. Looks like others are thinking the same as masks sell.
As news develops will modify as needed. If we see 20+ US cases mid next week with high mortality rate, the plan kicks to planning for potential shelter in place scenario second gear...
