Start doubling up if you can afford it!
The way it is going there maybe shortages we have never known in our lifetimes!!!!
Yes , it should be taken seriously .. but hand washing is more important as well as disinfectants for the house and keeping the house clean...
Keeping your (washed) hands away from your face/eyes is KEY! Become aware of this, it is such an automatic action.
@AnneWimsey I wash my face too...
I'm taking it seriously. I'm in the prime target population.
I would make sure to have some supplies, and once it gets really bad you'll be already prepared. Better safe than sorry. I'm from the south, so I think about what happened during Katrina in New Orleans.
I think it should be taken seriously , but not stay home seriously. I don't think I'll travel in an airplane anywhere soon, or hanging out in congested areas, but I am otherwise going about my business.
I pretty much do, already. I have several chronic illnesses that restrict my activity, so I keep a store of supplies in case I’m having a bad flare up. Handwashing and hygiene are good, whether or not it’s flu season, but the reminders never hurt.
