"Forecasting is hard, especially when it's about the future"

Whether or not you need ammo probably depends on where you live... but I'd stock up on non-perishables and necessities if you can afford it.

Not sure you need vodka at all, but I think that's a matter of personal preference. I'm actually trying to be as healthy and fit as possible to fight the weirdness that is self-isolation and to be ready for the virus when it inevitably comes (if 80% of us really are going to be infected...)

Am also hearing PE funds are forecasting anything between "18 months until we're back to normal" to "it will never be the same"..




The vodka and ammo was a bit of the joke (though I think the saying goes that post-apocalypse currency is fuel, ammo and cigarettes).

I've stocked up a month ago for a minor supply chain disruption. But the more I read the news every day, the more it seems to me that it isn't going to be a minor disruption. I'm starting to worry about survival even if neither myself nor anyone around me actually catches COVID-19.
