Yep, it ain't Ebola grade, it's Spanish Flu grade which took out 50 million in 1918. This new "weapon" may do in substantially more people in short order and crash Global markets to boot. Sick, crazy times we be in.
Haha that's what it gonna come down to! I'll take an 8 ball of purell!
Who cares. Everyone has an opinion. You should let your post stand. I would have been interested in reading them if they are what you say (professional opinion).

A gun ban will be a really hard sell if this spreads. Im sure a time of panic with uncertain food supplies and stretched resources will motivate allot of people to give the government their guns.....

I'm not aware of any study that suggests similar virulence to the Spanish flu. May I ask where you got that from?

Come on, calling it a "weapon" is just plain FUD. The 50 millions spanish flu number is rather controversial, the latest estimates are around 17 millions. Not to mention the symptoms themselves were often mistreated as dengue, cholera, or typhoid, not as mild as this spread. Also, recent studies have lowered the death toll to ~1.5%. You're really not helping...
My wife and I were talking about the news this morning about how the Federal Health Minister said to "Stockpile" supplies a couple days ago, so of course that along with social media over blowing things apparently makes for empty shelves in the stores.
Hand sanitizer in short supply!! (And with inflated costs! After all, now is the time to price gouge!)
I didn't by any sanitizer. I didn't by any canned goods. Heck, I don't even have a full tank of petro.
I told my wife not to worry though, the one thing I DO have is a LOT of ammunition!!
And in the end when it all turns to ####.... it isn't the guy with the most "gold" who wins (or the most hand sanitizer)...
The one who wins is the guy with the most ammo!
Oh man, I laughed so hard when I read that, I peed a little!
With how long a person can be contagious without symptoms, how long the virus can live on surfaces, and how easily transmitted the virus can be, it could be worse than Spanish flu possibly. Modern medicine means nothing if the medical system is overwhelmed. The death rate would skyrocket to near 1/5 if the hospitals cant handle it. And our medical system is near capacity on a good day.
One big difference today concerning Spanish flu is 100 years ago world travel was extremely limited compared to today. Literally 1000's of flights a day ##### crossing the globe. 4000/day left China for several weeks up to a point.

Currently in Saskatoon the wholesale had lots of everything for now including bananas
The only thing they said was sanitizer which no one has.
I saw a Hutterite fella ? buying 10x48 rolls TP plus canned soups and other items as well as disinfectant....

No, you're not wrong. In fact, it's even worse. The Lie-beral environmental policies assured the biggest flight of capital for natural resources development projects in Canadian history and with that, went the revenue, profits, consequential revenues from off shoot employment and so on. Next is tourism industry, they will be hit hard. To make things worse, today the BOC lowered its key interest rate by 0.5% and by doing so, it punishes savers but worse, it will decimate pension funds that have been in a bad shape already, now it will get worse. We are economically crashing and within some 6 months we will feel it, some provinces such as Alberta and Saskatchewan have been feeling it for years now. I wish we only had economic illiterates in our federal government because it's far worse, we have economic degenerates at the wheel.
