1. Given we don't have a real government (Don Lunatic was actually tweeting today - during a pandemic - his conspiracies about FBI spying on his campaign) we have to look out for each other.
There are questions normally a government would answer. Let's crowd-search answers...

2...Now, three weeks ago, Italy had 15 people infected. Today, they past 1,000 people dead. Based on stats from other nations, our failure to test is leaving us 5-10 times underestimate of infected.
So, assuming we could go the way of Italy, the questions:
So, assuming we could go the way of Italy, the questions:
3..lots of folk are buying bottled water. This strikes me as illogical because I wouldve thought munipal water supplies have crisis programs. But we're hearing nothing from government about securing or reliability of water if we reach Italy-size problems.
Anyone know anything?..
Anyone know anything?..
4...a federal problem will be food. That has been issue in Italy, but I heard they manage it with trucks making deliveries. From what I can tell, our government hasn't even begun to think about any of this. Has anyone heard of preparations or are they winging that part too?...
5...next, id have thought - again, to assure people feds are ready if italy-sized problems hit - we wouldve been tol about preparations for & reasons to not be concerned about gas, electric, etc. Anyone heard anything? If not, are state agencies or companies picking up slack?...
6...next, other obvious supplies. Lots of people have loaded up on toilet paper and paper towels. Lots of people haven't. And if we go down italy-outcome, likely no one will have enough. Is there any sign that the government is readying any plans?....
7...now, NO ONE should take these questions are alerts or warnings. They are questions, and ones that I hope lots of people - researching together - might be able to find answers for. So, don't start hoarding....
8..finally, a personal note. It is insane we need to do this. The job of government is to keep us safe and keep us informed of plans. This crowd is doing none of that. They cant even handle testing - we have no idea if they are making basic preparations. The lesson: Government...
9...is not a game. Only consider: Competence. Not do you like this person, or are they "on outsider", etc. You pick who is best qualified. Thats it. President is not a God. Fundamentally, its someone who keeps us safe & informed.And Trump is failing at that basic job.
