COVID - How to protect ourselves

The Spanish Flu seems to be the best example from history we have. COVID could well be different, which mean it could be not as bad or a lot worse.

I don't want to preach, but I believe we should become preppers for a few months. There's a chance things will get bad (or worse) again.

This doesn't mean to hoard things. But for the next few months if I see there's plenty of flour, TP, beans, disinfectants, masks, etc on the store shelves I'm going to buy them.

IMO we should stock up as best we can without hoarding and stressing the supply lines.

If things go well in the future we'll lose a lot of closet and other storage space. If things go bad we'll be in better shape to deal with things.

These are all things we'll use eventually and we should look at the shortages of the past few months and plan for them again.

Makes sense to me. As long as people stock in items that last.

Some reports I heard were about mass purchases of meats. That's kind've okay with me if they have a freezer and habitually buy in bulk. But it's crazy to fill a fridge up with something that won't be good a week after the purchase.
