Wuhan flu preps

[midnight rambler]

It is suggested you review your preps for this latest threat.

Right now hospitals, clinics, etc. in the USA have started rationing their N95 masks. That's because their suppliers are informing them they (the suppliers) have no idea when they will be able to deliver their orders for N95 masks. Guess who has probably soaked up all N95 mask production for the next couple of months (that's right, Uncle Satan). N95 masks are still available on feebay for somewhat reasonable costs (considering they surged in price then came back down). I predict the widespread individually-held supply of those N95 masks will evaporate in just a few days once everyone discovers they need one and they will become exorbitantly priced/unavailable. As an example today on feebay a box of ten 3M 8210V (vented) N95 masks sold at auction for ~$27 which is about half the price the very same mask has been selling for on average a couple of weeks ago. This is the calm before the storm, get those items nailed down before it's too late.

I recommend the 3M N100 mask (tech support guy at 3M made that recommendation to me), those are running ~$20-$25 on feebay but will last weeks if you take care of them. There are also the 3M N99 masks rated FFP3, those are the 9332+ masks and I like them better than the N100 masks as the 9332+ masks work better with goggles. The 9332+ masks have been continually going up and I noticed a spike in prices this morning. IMO the 9332+ masks are the best value. And speaking of goggles the best ones I'm seeing available are the 3M 91252 goggles. It's just a matter of time before prices skyrocket if even available at any price.

Lysol! Lots and lots of Lysol! And spray bottles if not a pump up sprayer or two.

Hibaclens surgical scrub, good stuff. Can be found of feebay for <$45/gallon.

Alcohol based hand cleaner.

Nitrile gloves.

Tyvek hooded coveralls - I doubt there's generally a need for these however I'm betting this item evaporates very soon as well. Can be had by the case of 25. Better to have it and not need it...

Everything you need to hole up in your abode for at least 3-4 weeks.
