Redundancies

The way the Wuhan coronavirus spreads makes it unlikely that anyone can completely hide from it. However, there are ways to keep ourselves from being hit too hard by the economic effects of the virus. Some simple precautions will help us dodge the worst of the outbreak, and keep us from getting hit too badly with any supply chain disruptions that may occur.

Stocking up on tinned and dry foods enable us to stay at home as much as possible. Making sure our car is topped off with petrol keeps us from suddenly having an empty tank, just as we need to get out of town. Ample savings enable us to keep away from work, and rent a place in the country.

Having a little extra of everything makes us flexible. We can make snap decisions. We can go on a prolonged absence. We can move and operate freely. If there is a sudden shut down of grocery stores or petrol stations, we're still able to keep things together, and get to wherever we need to be in order to protect ourselves.
