I'm in Sacramento. The Elk Grove (next city South with a lot of commuters to Sac) school district just went on lockout next week as a precaution. I already figure I'll probably get it cause I have kids that are germ magnets.

China's coronavirus recovery is 'all fake,' whistleblowers and residents claim
China's claims of how it's handling coronavirus recovery should be taken with more than a few grains of salt.Even before COVID-19 became a global crisis, Chinese leaders had been criticized for their handling of the situation and lack of transparency about the disease's progression. Things now...

Sounds like the fake news is actually fake news. A worldwide conspiracy with actual documented deaths? The only conspiracy is the hoax claim. Why would entire countries tank their economies simply to make the Chinese look bad? Common sense says this is a legitimate health crisis regardless of how the US govt takes it.
But has it risen to the end of the world status? No but there are certainly health care issues to be learned from it.

Italy's coronavirus death toll rose by nearly 60% in a day as the country put 16 million people on lockdown
The 7,375 identified infections in Italy as of Sunday made it home to the most infections outside China, where the novel coronavirus originated.
Yeah parents of young kids are super high risk, but the good thing is normal healthy kids and younger parents seem to be beating it pretty easily. For the elderly and those with cardiovascular health issues... Lock yourself in your house.
Hell I'm in my early 50s and definitely taking precautions. Nothing I hate more than a nasty chest infection.
I live in Japan.
My wife and I have a stock of bottled water and dried foods like crisps, biscuits, nuts, just as basic rations.
This is because of earthquakes.
I was here in 2011 when the big one struck and it was hard to get supplies for a few days.
If, or when, I should say, the big one haopens in Tokyo, the government expects around 3 days before supplies arrive in the city.
This is bullshit and transportation routes will be severely disrupted for longer than that.
Also, the panic buying that has been going on for the last two weeks has been a wake up call.
Media has shown images of warehouses full of toilet paper urging people not to buy it to stock up,
It doesn't deter people.
We decided to expand on our stock as much as possible.
Not for the coronavirus, but rather for an earthquake.
A few mknths ago, we had a big typhoon hit the country and were urged to stay indoors for one day.
The morning before, all supermarkets and stores had fheir shelves emptied by panic stricken customers.
This has been a good reminder for us to keep stocked up.

Experts urge Americans not to panic over the coronavirus. But with cases topping 500 nationwide, the CDC says it's a good time to make a plan.

And of course, I'd wager pretty much everybody either is directly at risk or interacts with people at risk - or are you going to just avoid parents, grandparents, etc so you can go to the market 4 days a week?
My wife has gone bonkers with this Coronavirus. She's group texting the family all the shit she's bought this last week. I'll let her pictures do the talking:

Dude - EPIC
Are the flip flops to outrun the corona-zombie hordes?
But I’m totally 100% down with the Depends. Those things will be the new currency when shit goes down.
Here's the caption she wrote with the flip flops picture: "Our shower shoes just in case #Coronavirus"
Saw a car literally filled with toilet paper today. People scare me more than the virus honestly

Dude - that is hardcore, almost choked reading that hahahahahahhaahahhahahahahahaha
Shocking what you can find on a Gunners board
I can’t tell if you’re joking or not because I have no idea what that * means. So I’ll say this, normal rational prepping doesn’t bother me in the slightest, it’s the irrational prepping like I’m seeing in Portland that does. Mix that with the violent protests that have just died down and yeah, people in a panic in mass groups scare me. I mean, just look at this car lol
