IT IS TIME: people have asked if I’m prepping for #COVID19. I’ve evaded answering- but I think I’m ready to cross the Rubicon on the inevitable to arrive. “Fortune favors the prepared mind” ~Pasteur. Great preparation💪🏼 guide by @jonst0kes on what we need: theprepared.com/wuhan-coronavi…
2) Three key goals to aims for: 📌1. Be able to shelter in your home for at least two weeks (the longer, the better) without leaving for supplies or outside help. If we have a significant amount of transmission here in the US...

4) 📌3. “Listen to legitimate sources so you can make decisions based on accurate, rational news. This epidemic already has enough actual cause for concern —- there’s no need to make things worse with fake news!” (Above are excerpt from intro of link).
5) I want to reiterate that I’m suggesting for prepping not for panicking. My personal concern level from 1-10 is only a 6, but partly because we shouldn’t be anxious about something inevitable like this epidemic. Calm and cool heads solves more problems than hot headed ness.
6) Finally, I want to clarify that I have zero financial interest or agenda. I have no books to promote, no academic promotion to gain, no blog to pump for clicks, no trinkets to sell, no treatment to spread, and no videos to push for views. Public health is the only importance.
Erratum: I screwed up the above Pasteur quote. Louis Pasteur had said “Chance favors the prepared mind”. While the Latin proverb goes “Fortune favors the bold”. Tweeting late at night is a hazard.
