That's literally impossible unless you live at home by yourself and can actually work from home. Wife/girlfriend/kids will still leave you exposed.

That whole "not eating for two months" is gonna be tough.

Some people have enough fat stores they could go for 2 months and still be ok.

Nebraska Men’s basketball team has been quarantined inside locker room because they think Fred Hoiberg was coaching with Coronavirus. What a complete moron and selfish asshole. I think it will be hard for him to recruit after this. 

Watch this gif. The young assistant to his left is practically bathing in hand sanitizer. The older assistant to his right seems to be agonizing over the decision to stay sitting there or bail on this situation.

If you don't have enough can goods in your house to last you 2 months you are doing yourself a disservice.

My family has enough to last us at least 3 months. We got a closet with nothing but water. We get delivered huge jugs of water once every month actually.lol

Just saw the video on Twitter. Definitely a selfish thing to do. Could you imagine if someone's grandma was there then later got sick and died from the virus? He would have blood on his hands.

Not just canned goods. Dry items like rice, beans, vegetables, and dried spices are all something that are fairly cheap to buy and easy to store if you are creative. I'm not saying you have to go full prepper mode, but having a 3 months supply can be acquired over the course of a year passing on a take out meal, cigarettes or Starbucks. Water can be a bit more of a task, especially in urban areas.

The point is you become a carrier to infect others unknowingly. People just don’t understand you can’t even look at the numbers that are being reported. MOST PEOPLE DO NOT show any symptoms, therefore they are not being tested. It is already in your community guaranteed. States don’t even have enough to tests on hand. This is already worse than you think, that is why the NBA and NCAA is shutting things down.

Truly asymptomatic? Uncommon. Honestly, it would probably be fair to use the word rare. Mild symptoms that could easily be construed as a run if the mill cold? Yep, very common. Approximately 80% of cases. Most of those people likely aren't seeking treatment and would go undiagnosed even if tests were widely available, which they aren't.

Assuming he and the rest of us make it through this - how would you feel letting your kid play ball there? These coaches are supposed to help and protect these kids not put them in danger so you can hit a pay bonus. Very selfish on his part and Bullets for other programs to negatively recruit against you

3% is skewed from the high %s in Wuhan province. Rest of China is closer to 1%, and thats not even considering people who have it but are unaware and think its just the flu / common cold

What about Italy?

I've already stockpiled 1000 bottles of hand sanitizer and 100 packs of TP. Nothing will stop me now. 

Except for the fact that in order for corona virus to not spread, other people will need those products as well, but you carry on hoarding

Their average age is about 47. They're one of the older populations in the world. It's not surprising their mortality rate is trending higher but the current 8% is pretty damn alarming. It's not likely to improve with their healthcare system overrun. I'd be lying if I said I trusted the numbers coming out of China.
