You're really expecting power interruptions due to the virus (in the
US)?
Somewhere else (FB) I saw someone snarking that people are dumb
because they're buying out frozen food what are they going to do when
there's no power for their freezers?!
I just don't see that as a likely scenario here but maybe I'm the one
who's deluded.
I suppose some regions are more vulnerable than others, there was that
crazy fire prevention outage in California a few months ago.
If we get to the point that there are serious power outages due to a
flu I think we'll have much worse problems than our phones are going
dead, there won't be any phone network! Or whatever.
P.S. I also got the death threat WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! spam but
didn't think it was worth a whole new message so, here, I mentioned it
in case people are wondering if it's just them.
