I have start updating my old Craftsman battery powered tools to DeWalt tools. Going through and organizing my hand tools. Making a list of items that I will watch for sales on (screws, fasteners, etc.) that I need to restock on.

I reorganized my vehicles GHB. I have a red bag with sections for first aid gear, a backpack and my storage box with various gear and items. Along with two vehicle fire extinguishers and two canteens filled with water and a water filtration bottle. Much more organized now. I have four of those life boat ration bar packs.
A man cannot call himself peaceful if he is not capable of violence. If he's not capable of violence he isn't peaceful, he is harmless. There is a distinct difference.

Because of the recent events in China, it has caused us to review and update our cleaning supplies. We have added cleaning products, made sure toilet paper and paper towels are in good supply here.

Bought two more gallons of isopropyl. Started a calendared approach to spraying doornobs, sink handles at home. Put disposable gloves in the car and started using them at the gasoline station when pumping gasoline.

Executed phase two of Coronavirus preps. Always preped for an emergency. Figured with this threat that I absolutely will be down and out for a while - just like having to take care of myself after surgery in the past. Figured out what bugged me in the hospitals and taking care of myself in the past.

baby bottles for safe drinking while lying down;
cleaning supplies to carry me another month beyond what I already have stored for an emergency;
stocked the freezer with sale steaks and chops;
located the UN hydration salts and brought some in the house;
serviced the car a couple hundred miles early;
finished the medical and dental work

I don't want to go to Costco, the grocery store when it is finally confirmed that the epidemic is here. When the concern becomes more than 6 cases in Wilmington, NC (today), then I will execute phase three. That will be buying perishable food stocks in quantity and stop going out for meals. Best estimate is that this will happen by mid March.
