For a description of why you might want to prep, see\xa0Putanumonit: Seeing The Smoke. For a description of how to prep, see\xa0this article by Kelsey. For a really intense guide by a professional prepper,\xa0see here.

But there\u2019s such a thing as being too intense. You probably won\u2019t need to store water \u2013 the water kept running in Wuhan. You probably won\u2019t need a generator \u2013 Wuhan has electricity. The most important thing seems to be food (and toiletries, and other necessities). If the epidemic gets bad, you\u2019ll want food so you can avoid going out to coronavirus-filled supermarkets. And if you get the coronavirus and are feeling sick, you\u2019ll want food at home so you don\u2019t have to get too far out of bed.
