you may be correct. i think the consensus of most posters is prudent preparations...ie, investing in supplies that would be bought anyway but compressing the timeframe.
I prepared for the y2k fiasco because it sounded plausible. the supplies purchased were consumed over the next year so the net cost of preparation was zero.
same scenario now but with a potential extra benefit of inflation protection. other than investing in a generator, there really wasn't any out of pocket cost then or now.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 196275It won't speculate on what most GLPers are thinking, but from what I'm seeing it looks clear that a great many are actually frightened of the virus itself, concerned that they will become infected and die as a result. Caution would be acknowledging that the human variable could cause the situation to descend into chaos and danger. As such it may be wise to keep an eye on the situation and perhaps prepare some meager contingencies for an "in the event of." But that doesn't appear to be the common outlook and reaction.
