Still waiting on official public health press release, but it has been confirmed by other news sites on the death of the eleven year old this week.

    If you can do a week long buffer for food, not anything crazy but just something you can roll into your regular meal prep (don't go full prepper chud and buy expensive tasteless freeze dried stuff). Also if you are on any prescriptions see if it's viable to get a week long or even month long emergency buffer (a good reason to get this from your perscriber would be "I'm going on an extended trip internationally and want to be covered"). Also some cheap generic flu meds (Tylenol, cough suppressant, mucinex stuff etc) mainly because when covid hit and if you just got regular ass flu the shelves were already picked clean.

    edit: what I've found best for emergency food prep is canned goods, for instance canned tomatoes and chickpeas make easy drop curries (can then also add coconut milk), add to that a couple pounds of rice and you should be solid.

      this is spurring me to actually go get a ton of rice and beans and canned tomatoes plus a few other things at costco, not that i am expecting it to blow up into a march 2020-level situation but i've been meaning to for a while just to have some basic staple items on hand for easy and cheap meals and it's as good of a reason as any
