People here are actually stockpiling food and provisions because they foresee some kind of zombie apocalypse in the coming months.

Tinned food 30c a can in Aldi/Lidl. It's no harm really. I haven't started but given the data I would not dismiss the idea.

Would hate to be running for the supermarket if an outbreak here and the UK

First time I've ever seen it being spoken about in that way on Irish media, that it is a potential and serious danger

I don't really follow the logic of this statement. Why would it mean that it must be airborne?

Would it be possible for an Iranian national to travel on one of these devices?

I prefer boards.

Reddit has a weird UI and just, weird.

I prefer boards but it's more of a discussion platform , on Reddit you go for news stories and can avoid the discussion below the news story if you want

On payday, I buy in about 2 weeks worth of food. Non-perishable stuff. It means in the case of unforeseen financial woes, the last 2 weeks before payday, I have stuff to eat.

I'm just upping my normal stockpiling a little bit.

I know a guy who stockpiles a year in advance, which is a little too much for me, but he says, he's eating behind inflation.

There are loads of bargains out there. Some examples/comparisons:

SuperNoodles = 1.29
Koka Noodles = .99c
Tesco instant noodles .12c

10 packs of tesco own brand for the price of one pack of super noodles.

Bachelors baked beans = 1.10
Tesco baked beans = .38c

Heinz Tomato soup can = 1.45
Tesco Tomato soup can = .55c.

You can buy a weeks worth of food, stick it in a cupboard and hope you don't need to use it, for about a tenner. I'm hardly bankrupting myself by being prepared.

The more cases there are in the broader Asia Pacific the more vulnerable China becomes to the consequences of the charge of not being forthright as to the scale of the crisis there.

It must be a huge concern for the entire region.

The economic impact has yet to be truly felt of the recent turmoil as well.

The Tesco noodles could have worse side effects than corv

FFS! do they want to infect the whole aeroplane so that they can just quarantine everyone.

Good read
two possible scenarios of this outbreak
1. Virus becomes endemic without killing huge numbers of people, and
2. Virus becomes endemic after killing huge numbers of people.

Kuwait banning all travel to and from Iran - I don't think Kuwait believe their numbers :rolleyes:

Thank you!! After reading the article it gets worse...
what is the point of the CDC if they can't enforce rules when it involves infectious disease pandemic?

I usually add chilli powder, pepper, ginger or turmeric to these products. More expensive products are not anymore better quality.
