CDC outlines what closing schools, businesses would look like in US pandemic
I&#x27;m advising everyone in my circle to prepare for a 30 to 45 day at-home stay and assume no stores will be open during that time.  I think this is the prudent thing to do.<p>I would also advise speaking to your neighbors to make them aware of the need to be prepared.  To that point, buy a little extra of everything --well, maybe food only-- so you can help a few people out during what is likely to be a difficult time.  Happy neighbors are as important to safety as anything else.<p>I&#x27;m actually thinking of making a preparedness checklist and going door-to-door around the neighborhood to hand them out.
