Just curious at to whether anyone has stockpiled or prepared for a specific scenario.

I’m not an alarmist at all, so I don’t really see this virus leading to disruptions to water supply or electricity - though I’m happy to hear other opinions on this.

The recent Gold Coast situation has really driven home how quickly we could be facing community spread of this virus. And while I don’t worry for my health, I worry for the health of the sick and elderly. In my own personal situation, I worry about the consequences of Brisbane or another city going into shutdown. What does this mean for our day-to-day?

Where I do see an issue is the ever increasing restrictions being placed on movements and supply chains. While Australia has an excellent medical system and a lot of our food is produced here, I do wonder how much of an impact there will be on certain products. This is something I have no idea about.

Again, I’d like to repeat that I’m certainly not a doomsday prepper. But I’m interested in what situations are possible, what specific products or medicines could face higher risks of disruptions, and what others have done to prepare - if anything at all.
