The mind boggles at how people can characterise preparation of a month’s worth of food, water and other essentials as “bomb shelter”-style hunkering down.

The CDC, amongst other US and foreign government agencies, recommend it. When the CDC speaks, I listen.




Where did the CDC recommend a months worth of food and water for COVID-19 specifically?


Great guys, you stay here and argue about whether two weeks of food and water or four constitutes a crazy bunker mentality. All the more time for the rest of us to stock up for our kids.



Nope. This is general advice about “a pandemic” and has nothing to do with COVID.


I read two weeks.


Indeed. A month is more in the range of a fallout shelter.
