Third US case of coronavirus confirmed in OC

[Aurora0427]

My husband is currently living in Okinawa ( a very small Japanese island) and they now have confirmed cases there and because it is an island, supplies are running out FAST. He ran out and stocked up on cleaning stuff and OTC tylenol and advil, as well as paper products. The commissaries were almost out of everything and they don't get very frequent shipments so it's a big deal. He is basically prepared to not need to buy anything for about a month.

That is definitely a big deal. How are they on food?

Food seems to be okay for now.

I’ve cleaned my entire house with bleach cleaner and washed all the linens on hot. It irrationally makes me feel better. We have our supplies. I feel like I’m ready.

We're in San Diego and went to Costco today in Poway. It was totally jammed. I don't get either why some people loaded up on water. I'm just glad to have TP and laundry soap. Now it's wait and see.

Yes, I am in Orange County, CA, in a city that has a very large Asian population. I feel like maybe some of this is from hearing from relatives in Asia about how things are over there and then the people here panicking and wanting to NOT be in a situation like how things are in China, Korea, and Japan right now.

I’m in Mesa, AZ so not sure what is causing the mania here.

Target in San Diego is pretty calm. Plenty of supplies. Saw some idiot coming out with ten huge gallons of laundry detergent, so I guess he’s good for the next five years on clean clothes.

Gift card deal. They get me every time. On the bright side I’m always overstocked on laundry detergent

Ok, that actually makes waayyyyy more sense!

I think people are worried about possible utility shut off for this reason - if the employees ( even one) of these get sick, and it runs through the place, it can't be run. That and the fact people have to self quarantine for 2 weeks, could result in a supply disruption.

I just saw a recipe for homemade hand sanitizer. It's just rubbing alcohol plus aloe vera gel. Now it makes sense why the rubbing alcohol is out of stock everywhere.

OC Health Agency has posted that there are now 2 presumptive positive cases in the county. A man in his 60s and a woman in her 30s, both with a recent travel history to a country experiencing outbreaks. No other info was provided.

Don’t you remember the Great Poway Water Crisis of 2019? People are probably still traumatized from that. We live in San Diego but travel to Poway for my daughter’s gymnastics practices every day. She still won’t drink out of the water fountain at the gym, because maybe they didn’t clean everything completely out. That’s a 12 year old’s rationale...

Yes. It was really sad, because it was over the holidays and so shut businesses down during their busiest time of year. I'm sure they are still trying to recover. And now with a virus probably affecting business...not good.

Governor Newsom Declares State of Emergency to Help State Prepare for Broader Spread of COVID-19 ..... why,

Emerald City Comic Con (Seattle, Wa.) finally announced it will offer refunds - but still not cancelling. It goes March 12-15, pulls in about 100,000 people. Artists and literary guests are cancelling, but Reed Pop still hasn't. At least people will get their money back, now if they decide not to go.

I’m planning on going to Disneyland in 2 wks. Am I crazy?? I am getting worried. Also, now thinking they just might close because of this.
