Absolutely. I was being somewhat of a smart ass myself. I don't believe that they'll lock down this area. I do plan to sell all of my yearlings, and maybe a couple older cows, this summer after they fatten up on good green pasture. Right now the cattle market is down and we're still over a month away from having any grass.

The cattle are running loose. They're also still belly deep in snow up here. We are getting some bare ground showing up on the lower slopes of the ranch. But we're a long way from getting any grass growing. I've got a good source of good quality oat hay now. But with the condition of my road I can only haul in a ton at a time and I'm feeding 2 ton every 5 days.
There are a combition of things that lead to my hay shortage; 1) last summer when I was putting my hay up I was also sick and the seller cheated me by about 30%. 2) I had to start feeding a lot earlier than expected. And 3) I had some range cattle sneak in with my cattle and I fed them for a month before I could cut them out.

Now the WHO thinks it might be airborn... looks like this study shows it can survive in the air for 3 hours! I guess those masks weren't such a bad idea...

Old news, knew this 6 weeks ago.
Nothing older that yesterdays news Rellgar. But if they got nothing to say or nothing new, they will just dig up something out of the trash which they have NOT said yet. Gotta love them, open mouth, insert foot. Open mouth, change feet...
I think most People are going to realize that the cold they had last month was the Corona virus and its done came and passed . The only difference is now it has a name and plenty of media hype .

that would be nice if you are right
That is the same thing my daughter said. She thinks her husband, her and the kids had it last month. Same symptoms for her and hubby...less symptoms for the kids. My Son thinks his kids and wife had it already and he just got over it.
Nice visual with the feet in mouth! LOL
Not sure about that GG. The problem isn’t the number of people we have lost to the virus, it’s the hit the economy is taking BECAUSE of the fear of the CVirus. He needs to have done all he has as we don’t want to end up with total economic collapse.
My manager and the owner were talking today about all the impacts this is having throughout the community. People who can't go to work because they're kids aren't in school. Restaurants that aren't getting business because people aren't going out, and may have to close down permanently. The stock market having the biggest drops in history.
I realized as I hear them talk how life changing and society changing this event really is.
I live in Western NY and it's gotten crazy. All stores are picked over, all schools are suspended indefinitely. People are already starting to get crazy. I have been an "amature prepper" for a while a feel better suited than most ( long military/ combat experience), but now wish I had more done.

Second warning folks. I'm hearing bells everywhere. 72 hours or less. The lockdown is coming, nationwide.
Are you 100% sure?
I’m asking because I’m new to the site but has been reading up for the past few years.
No , he's not . Nothing is 100% . Especially on the internet .
We all wish we had done more at this point. Just be greatfull that you have done what you have so far. Make good decisions about things, being more efficient with what you have, be aware of security, etc. prepping is about a lot more than stockpiling canned goods.
Always try to get MULTIPLE confirmation from assorted sources as to possible issues or threats.
My best guess is if this goes on for more than 4 more weeks we will really start to see a breakdown with crime and looting in the cities. Right now people are just scared, once the masses are scared and hungry then security will be a higher priority for us all.
Yes, I am hearing from multiple sources that a lockdown is immanent. Now, am I 100% sure it will happen? Who can be, outside the White House?
This is a heads-up. If you have to travel to your BOL, get going. If you live in a big city & have plans to bug out at Aunt Lisa's farm 150 miles away, I'd suggest to call her & start. Nobody knows how hard of a lockdown it will be. Just no get-togethers / close sit-down restaurants? Or stay the **** home and one person can go out every 3 days? These are unknowns.
I just heard, now West Virginia has a case. All is lost! (humor folks)
IMPORTANT::::: here is an excellent site for looking at the numbers: https://dersticher.github.io/Covid19-Chart/?country=US
At the top right you can select which country. Top center you can switch from linear to log scale. Country by country, day by day. You can see how insanely quick this virus is spreading which is why countries are taking unprecedented actions. You can see where truthful nations are seeing 10x increases every 14 days.
So, for example, the US has 6k cases today. That will be 60k cases on 4/1. 600k cases on 4/15. And 6 million cases on 4/29. But look at Korea, South. That is what we can do with widespread testing & lockdowns. There is good reasons for doing this.
I really needed to hear this today. Thank you!
My husband says the key is the groceries. If they can keep some of the food out there that will help keep the violence down. When the food runs out all bets are off. People are not going to stay in their houses without food.
That's really what it comes down to -- miss food for 24 hours and you lose a lot of your mental faculties--heck I was feeling crazy last time I had to miss two meals for a blood test. That said, I do not think we will get to that scenario in most cases unless there are lasting supply chain disruptions; for example if the virus proves to be worse than we have seen and benches 1/3 of truckers that could put a huge in dent in the food chain. However, even in that case many would still eventually have access and the military would likely intervene at some point-- problem with that is you don't want to be in one of those places. That's likely worst case and if you look at Italy or China it does not really seem like they had significant supply chain disruptions, but again just goes back to how severe it is.
If it mutates and if we have other events occur concurrently all bets off-- I don't think the U.S. could handle a Katrina and a pandemic at the same time very well--not enough body bags.

My only concern is the Fed's ordering fuel stations shut down. We have enough food to last a year or so, but I haven't got my bulk fuel tanks set-up yet. Plus it'll be another month before the fuel truck could make it up here to fill them. My truck will hold a hundred gallons and my main generator has a 55 gallon tank. And my propane tank is down to about 50%. We'll be good for a couple months, but after that??
I do not think the U.S should deploy any military in the streets to provide security and exspose them. They should only use law enforcement agencies for that. The military should stay protected and quarenteened to be ready for a military attack on our country.
