One of the big reasons we aren't "seeing" an uptick of confirmed cases around the world. They don't have the ability to test for it.

Again there should be "pneumonia" signs soon, which would be a big reveal.

Also the lack of suspected cases based on symptoms (since I'm assuming the symptoms and early signs have all be spammed out around the world as they should be )

The Average American Uses 3 Rolls of Toilet Paper Each Week

The U.S. consumes more toilet paper than any other country, almost three rolls per person each week. And the brands they choose to use aren't sustainable, with hardwood trees being pulped to create the soft toilet paper consumers want. Following the United States' annual use of 141 rolls of toilet paper per capita is Germany with 134 rolls and the United Kingdom with 127. Japanese consumers average 91 rolls annually, while the Chinese average just 49.

I can imagine India at least being honest if their infection spikes... if nothing else, to throw it in China's face.

I hope that the original "end of the world" video gets remade about this virus...

"but i am le tired"
" then take le nap, then quarantine the city!'

Two more provinces have been locked down. Total number of cities up to 63!

No way this is sustainable, they don't have the manpower to do this for long.

Been working on this at my house. We buy the super plush toilet paper. Three squares per wipe is plenty, but of course my wife does the whole *grab the end of the roll and jerk it down until it spins out about 3 feet of toilet paper* maneuver.

Might be a good time to look and see if any of your daily necessities are made in China, and you might need a longer term supply or alternative. If China supply drops off on something, prices on it will go up or shortages will appear. Keep in mind components or processed raw materials may be affected too.

Women


If only women go through 3 a week (wtf?), then the average would be lower than that..since women make up only half of the population. Who is using this much toilet paper?!

The top import categories (2-digit HS) in 2018 were: electrical machinery ($152 billion), machinery ($117 billion), furniture and bedding ($35 billion), toys and sports equipment ($27 billion), and plastics ($19 billion).

So what exactly should we be stocked up on? We are a family of three and we have about 6 weeks worth of food to split and around 20 gallons of water.

20200206 - 1202CST Scottimus Scale


(-50) Apocalyptic------------------------------V--------------------0--------------------------------------------------Absolutely (50)

50 Dashes Each Way, 0 = Reasonable Action/Concern
Currently: -20 from 0 (reasonability), --70 from Absolutely nothing, +30 from Apocalyptic.

I am open to edits and other interpretations.

Current "Ticks"

Novel Corona Virus = -5
90,000,000 People Quarantined (9%) of population = -9
Large Scale "Hospitals" in Public Venues = -5
Funeral Homes (Wuhan) Looking for Body Bags = -1


Things are moving quite quickly......

Decent map. A little busy but shows rivers, roads, cities and provinces.

How does a virus travel? Trains, plans and automobiles....

I'm still waiting on the huge spike of cases outside of China to be concerned at all about this. That just does not appear to be happening at all.
