What basic supplies should I have?

Jan 31, 2020

Q: This Coronavirus thing is a bigger deal than I thought originally. What basic supplies should I have at home just in case? Advil, pedialyte, other???

A: Nothing special. Do not worry. It is just another of 1000s if known and unknown viruses. A lot of people are making a lot of money on that hype. And many are losing, e.g. airlines etc.

Q: Check out the latest paper posted by that Harvard doctor, Dr Eric Feigl-Ding. Not just another virus by any stretch if he is to be believed. 

A: Trust me, is a media hype. See the article “CDC: 80,000 people died of flu last winter in the U.S., highest death toll in 40 years.” And no one is panicking about this, no flights get cancelled, no quarantines, nothing…

Q: Umm. You need to turn on the television. The Is just quarantined 200 people today. First time in 50 years. Delta and American canceled all flights to and from China. Russia just closed the border with China. I’m not saying it’s the end of the world. Just asking what types of things you would want to have at home to help you through a bad case of the flu. Fluids, Tylenol or Advil?
