Real deal time in Italy, more countries will follow suit in the weeks -- AND MONTHS -- to come. That's right, it's not just a few-week inconvenience. The true medical impacat won't be evident for another month or two. The economic impact will not be evident for another 5+ months. In the meantime, don't panic, just buy a few extra things every time you go grocery shopping and figure out a central location to store. I'm a prepper and this is my 4th "pandemic" rodeo over the last 20 years, so I'm well educated. Protein and carb foods (to fill your belly), basic OTC flu meds & sports drinks (for replenishing electrolytes) and don't forget snacks for during those long, boring days of (potential) quarantines. This is nowhere near an "extinction event," but everyone in urban areas throughout the world must prepare for the possibility of supply disruptions. As far as food, water, and meds, just pretend you'll be going on an extended camping trip in the boonies and you'll do okay. Don't panic, just prepare. Good luck & God bless
