      So it seems that * efforts at containment of covid-19 have failed * it's out of China and will soon be everywhere * r0 may be at the higher end of the range: ~ 5 + * lethality may be much higher than we hoped so : feces hitting the fan, medium hard >>> #preppertalk

      2/ Not as in "ZOMG, end of the world", but as in maybe "ZOMG, maybe gonna hit Spanish Flu levels here in the west, and put a noticeable dent in the baby boomers". So wife and I are discussing the trigger for if / when we "turtle up" and stop leaving the farm.

      3/ I mean, maybe we don't - go about life as normal, have a 50+% chance of catching it, then just suffer fever and vomiting for 2 weeks. We're young-ish & healthy-ish. But maybe we try to avoid that and hole up. Trick is, given latency, you've gotta hole up before it's obvious

      4/ We've already got food for a year or two, and savings that let us get by even if our remote gigs go sideways for a month or a year. So really the only big question is "when to turtle up". I'm not sure. It could be as early as 2-3 weeks from now. Keeping an eye peeled.

      Replying to @MorlockP

      What do you think is a good trigger for “when to temporarily leave a major metro area”? I’m going with “when the CDC says it’s spreading in the community in the US”, but I’m not sure if that’s right.

      Good question! Let me sleep on it and respond tomorrow.
