Denial is good. I'm going to denial once I've finished stocking up on supplies.

Like you, we are not shaking hands or kissing friends hello and washing hands. Not sure we can do much more than that. My husband was upset last weekend because the rugby international in Dublin was cancelled (it was against Italy). I was upset because I didn’t have a weekend just pleasing myself 😄. Other than that I’m in denial. Keep well everyone.lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02135747077774428079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-692517788030253147.post-24994797436366666652020-03-08T21:09:11.779+02:002020-03-08T21:09:11.779+02:00My understanding of preppers is that they stock up...My understanding of preppers is that they stock up for years of complete societal collapse, Armageddon, etc... It all falls a bit short when living in a city apartment. You might have food and water for a year but what happens when there's no sanitation? I agree with you that stocking up for a week or two, three or four, even a couple of months, is probably a good idea. Not because there won't be any food, but I might not be in a position to go out and get it.

I generally keep a fairly well stocked pantry - especially during the winter so I've simply kept things up to date and just added a few things that would be nice to have if quarantine is imposed.<br />Cases seem to be added daily but Canada is still under 100 so far. The worrying bit is that we have a community spread here in Toronto (he returned form Las Vegas, felt fine and went to work and temple, using public transit) for a few days before he became ill - his family are all ill, along with the neighbour who took him to hospital and many from his temple are under observation.<br />I work at a church office and we also have two feeding programs for city poor and homeless so we are being very cautious. This week we added a notice to the Sunday bulletin regarding precautions, people no longer shake hands during the "peace of Christ greeting", and we are looking at options in case churches are closed. You like to think it won't get that bad "here" but look what happened this morning in Italy...<br />I am prepared, but there is only so much you can do and I don't want to turn into my office mate who is now in full "prepper" mode and is starting to drive me a wee bit crazy! :-)<br />Take care of yourselves.Margie from Torontohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10103835021764804099noreply@blogger.com
