Im going to suggest that you: 1. Read. A lot. Read the CDC info about how to prevent infection, and how to quarantine in your own home. Read science, not someones blog, or the End of the World Gazzette. The CDC knows how to deal with it--we just need to pay attention. 2. Freak out. For thirty seconds only. Then get a grip, because you and the people in your neighborhood can help prevent this from spreading in case it gets to your area--but not if you turn into the neighborhood Freaking Out Panic Button. 3. Put aside at least 3 weeks worth of food and water in your home. Yes, you can live on oatmeal and canned fruit and canned peas, if thats whats required. Fill old cleaned-out milk jugs for your toilet-flushing water and new gallon jugs or canning jars for drinking water. You dont have to cook on a stove--a good woodpile and a grill rack would work fine. 4. Its only one person right now, and it could be a false alarm. 5. Im going to say this only once: I dont want to see one idiotic post about how vinegar-water, or rose hips, or whatever herbs are going to save people if TSHTF. Only pure science and strenuous hand-washing and hygiene are going to stop any spread of this in the U.S. if its true. 6. Theres a lot of information that we dont have yet, and we dont need to panic. Chicken Little would be a crappy homesteader, and we could handle this with our heads held high if we do it smart.
