I disagree with your sentiment about preppier mentality strongly. For me, it’s not about prepping to survive like THIS is a world-ending event, it’s about not getting caught in a rush to get supplies or stampedes when people panic. Tbh, that’s more of a concern than the disease.
That said, the serious complication rate is higher than the flu.
The r0 is much higher than the flu.
The disease is spread asymptomatically.
Nobody is ready if the disease does take hold and spreads widely.
just typed a novel then decided against it. everyone needs to make their own decisions about their preparedness. For me, I’m preparing for (not the worst, but bad enough to keep me at home for several weeks). Hoping for the best.

Nice interest rate. Their parent bank https://allamerica.bank/ has branches in Oklahoma and does agricultural financing as well as normal bank stuff. it's a clever way to diversify and get a wider online presence beyond Oklahoma. The fly is a great touch.
