    Wonder what behaviors will persist from this experience I’m wearing masks on planes from now on Also turning at least lite-prepper. Wife wants to go full bunker-mode tacticool prepper. I picked up 1-2 week early warning signal off Twitter but she did all the actual prepping.

        I expect to wear masks on planes too. I’m also going to try harder to prevent spreading infections within my family unit since that doesn’t actually seem pointless.

        my wife is already a preppier-lite so agree that will persist. for me, it's actually: making investment for personal energy independence for the home. we're quite lucky the power & telecom grid grid are all functioning as expected.

        Seems extreme for you, but fairly natural considering your work circles.

        Next phase will dictate some of that. Ie If prepping includes seeds and shotguns. Never gonna see a bowl of nuts or popcorn at a bar again.

        I'm learning a lot about where germs can lurk and what to wipe down in the house when someone has a cold.
