i think one of the reasons there are more cancellations now is because the society is being changed towards more fear and prevention in general. the individualist idgaf mindset is superseded with collectivist, centralized 'socially responsible' behavior (we all love so much /s). i am probably wrong, but i wouldn't be surprised if the sxsw decision was made by some government bureaucrat and not the organizers (looked it up, it was the mayor apparently).

You could be right. Time will tell.

I do think it's good to be prepared in case there are supply chain shortages though. Even aside from this illness. Just good to have food and water to last a month or so if necessary.

prep at all times folks, so you don't have to go and fight with your neighbors for a few rolls of tp

i have poultry, feed to last for a year, a (small) boat to fish, wells, ponds, solar, firewood and stocked up cellar all the time. /brag :-)

these are not expensive or excessive things for a peace of mind.

The land near the industry that I work in is my main obstacle.

I could move, and significantly increase my commute... :-/

I may move.... :-/

[–]useless_aether[S] 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

but is there anything wrong with the land you have now, or is it just that the industry is too close to it?

Agree with this. "Well, those guys are taking precautions, so maybe we should?" --Fear and "precautions" spread faster than the virus itself. Also agree, we've already been exposed, so why worry about it. I choose to believe it's nothing, because if I'm right, then I didn't fall for the trick. If I'm wrong, I'm dead, so I won't have to listen to any 'I told you so's"
