At first, I thought the new Coronavirus was going to be a big load of nothing outside of China like SARS was in the early 2000's, but between the South Korean health official killing himself, the stock market going into panic mode, and the CDC's weird behavior surrounding this whole thing, even I'm getting concerned.
I'm going to be stocking up on essential supplies this weekend while I still can, just in case.
Things like food, water, toilet paper, batteries, basic medical supplies, etc.
Even if the virus itself doesn't get as bad as people are expecting, it's still good to have those kind of supplies in case of another more mundane emergency like extended power outages or a winter storm.
