I’m sorry this is happening in your community, MJPeony. I really am. I’d be very unhappy to hear my community. It’s only a matter of time probably.
Bet they are going to call a pandemic.....ha
I have no idea. I have not bought extra batteries because I recently just replaced everything this winter anyway. I only mentioned the ice storm because my point was to always be prepared, as opposed to prepping for a specific event. It keeps me from a mad rush to the grocery store when others are freaking out about snow storms or other events. And I’m always prepared for power outages because I’d like my food not to spoil, so we have a generator. I like to be generally prepared for all events that can keep you home, as well as those that can drive you out of your home (such as weeks-long power outages that occasionally happened in the south in the winter).
) I think now they do this for many reasons, both epidemiologically and economic reasons etc. But I do think WHO and epidemiologists agree with this way once it gets hold in a country.
