It looks like a significant minority of people who get infected will not produce enough antibodies to produce immunity and can get infected again, albeit with a more minor presentation

That food you guys mentioned is all pretty good stuff even normally. I'd hardly even call it rations just because I'd eat that anyway. Rice, oatmeal, tomato stuff, pasta, instant mashed potato, peanuts, that's good eatin right there. You guys are making me hungry.
Maybe one of these days I'll buy one of those big mountain house buckets. Good for camping and emergencies, and just good for eating in general.
All you need to do is to buy some cheap, healthy food that you will eat anyway, in advance.
The Mountain House freeze dried stuff is great, keeps for like 30 years or so, but it is SO EXPENSIVE that for the price of that bucket you can literally fill the shelves of a closet with good quality fresh foods.
Nooneman, not to sound overly dramatic but "the crisis" will likely not be in 30 years but THIS WINTER, so if you buy jars and cans and pasta and all that thats good for this year, thats good enough.
If you shop smart you can even make it so that you save money because you buy in bulk, which is cheaper, and for exactly the items that are either on sale or relatively low cost anyway.
Since you said oatmeal
Oatmeal costs what, 45 cents per pound? If you blow a tenner on oatmeal, blammo, you have 22 lbs of oatmeal, containing 3 lbs of protein, 2 lbs of very healthy fiber and over 10lbs of extra slow releasing starch - in other words 16.5 gallons of prepared oatmeal, for ten bucks. The price of a delivery pizza! You can bring water or milk to a boil, torn off the heat then stir in the oatmeal, and maybe some salt and sugar or maybe some spices even for flavoring and make it like that, but oatmeal is 70-95% of muesli and thus, can be prepared cold, by taking oatmeal, stirring in literally whatever liquid or beverage floats your boat and bam, meal that fills you for 5 hours because of the extra slow carbs and the high protein. Weight for weight, oatmeal has half the protein content of fried chicken. 10 bucks of oatmeal, nutritiously, has the protein of 10lbs of fried chicken and the carbs of 15lbs of rice on the side, no freezer or heating needed. You can even take oatmeal, bananas, cocoa and honey and make gourmet meal bars for on the go. THAT is versatile as an emergency food.

Oh and speaking of bug-in survival:
*reposts* PREPAREDNESS - Asante's 1 month home survivability minimum recommendation.
Quote:
US Army Field Manual on Survival, one of the best survival guides (direct Shroomery download)
Where There Is No Doctor - official DIY healthcare guidelines for untrained civilans, a mainstay in develping nations (direct Shroomery download)
LDS Guide - after a few pages about Jesus, 200+ pages high quality info on survival in the home and on the run, a prepper's mainstay (direct Shroomery download)
It doesnt have to be the end of the world. It can be as simple as a severe financial crisis. Or a really bad, really lethal Influenza outbreak or another contagious disease. A storm, a flood, a hurricane. Or a lot closer to home, widespread riots in your city making it wise to barricade the door and wait it out.
Here's my 1 month home survivability minimum recommendation. Almost all of these crises will be over in a few days, or a few weeks at most. This is great because your prep here will be enough to help out more people than you anticipated.
Please, consider committing to storing up a m,onths worth of self sufficiency in your home.
-Assume you'll take your stand in your home. -Get a first aid kit for the home, you really need that anyway. -Get acetaminophen, get diphenhydramine, get loperamide. -Get food and drink for a month in your home. -Get a camping stove and cartridges to cook the food and a months supply of toiletpaper and trashbags to wipe and get rid of the food. -Get a bottle of non sudsy chlorine bleach and a pair of household gloves. Refresh this bottle every year. Also get a pack of dust mouth masks, such as used in construction. -If possible, get a months worth of cash in your home in small bills. -Get a LifeStraw. You need just one for up to a family. -Get candles, glowsticks, a led flashlight, batteries and a lil radio set to the emergency frequency. -Get a survival book or at the very least download LDS and BUSHDOCTOR and USARMY (these are direct downloads of .pdf files here on the Shroomery) -Get a quality survival style knife like a Ka-Bar or Fallkniven F1 and a knife sharpener, a multitool and waterproof matches. -Get a weapon for home defense. In tight gun law countries this can be something like a chefs knife or screwdriver ducktaped to a yard long steel pipe, a machete or quality shortsword such as a wakizashi, crossbow, ice axe (for mountaineering), pepperspray or baseball bat, in places like the US a handgun is best. -Get some drugs in your home that you won't binge on but which will help pass the time and serve as potential barter. Don't forget coffee, tea, alcohol and tobacco if you are in the habit and can have em in your home without going overboard.
You don't have to get this all at once, you can pick up an item every now and then and add it to your collection.
As for a months food and drink, you can consider getting a box of emergency rations, army ones (like the NRG-5 the UN and Red Cross uses but your own nation's army typically has the most affordable kind) or luxury ones like the freeze dried gourmet stuff like Mountain House brand. Emergency rations have the advantage of being compact, calorie dense and have shelf lives of 10, 15 or 25 years which means you can forget about them for over a decade. In addition to that many can be consumed as-is so theres no need for elaborate cooking, which may not be possible.
If you got these you are waaay ahead of nine out of ten people. Note that a prep like this is of a size you can still stuff in a car and drive off with.
Interest your VERY closest friends in the whole prep thing and propose to shack up in case of calamity. This combines your efforts, supplies and skills and at once you got a team. Teams of tight knit friends have higher survivability.

Lophosaurus said: What are you doing to prepare?
I'm beefing up my prepping effort, to have supplies for a month plus without need for shopping runs, also not counting on gas, electric, water mains. Besides the basic bare-bones longterm storage prep which is fine as it is, I'm beefing it up with many intermediate-term storage items that will not just make it survivable but also, comfortable to do so. Lets not forget that even the US Government itself through FEMA is urging Americans to take at least a few weeks of supplies in your house, in any part of America, at any time (fema.gov link) so I'm not saying something alien and nonsensical here. This is something which even your government urges you to do.
I'm letting those with me know that I believe its necessary to take preparations for 2019, even on the risk of looking a fool to others, emphasizing to take it with however many grains of salt one wishes, as one ultimately is responsible for ones own decisions. The ones who laugh it off now, if it comes to be, will have one heck of a wakeup call at the first sign of trouble they take seriously. If they still don't, they should become part of the disaster. It will probably last considerably shorter than a person will starve. If they are so hell bent on experiencing third world problems, let them drink from their toilet, and then from the nearby river, let them be part of the civil unrest on an empty stomach, sure.
The Judeo/Christian/Islamic story of Noah's Ark comes to mind. If you feel called to build an Ark (metaphor for preparing against potential calamity) by all means tell the others - the ones that laugh and scoff are not meant to be on board. Disasters happen for a reason, if this one happens the reason is loud and clear.
In addition to sensibly preparing to meet temporary societal service interruptions and telling a friend, I'm also taking preparations to profit from this disaster. Some of the worlds greatest corporate piggybanks are about to get smashed releasing countless billions into markets a citizen can access. Value of currencies will take a nosedive, commodities will soar, alternate currencies like crypto will potentially soar like never before as Big $$ takes refuge, stock pricvces will plummet sharply before they risew back up to their inherent value, or over in compensation. As some corporate giants are gonna lose their shit, I'm going to attempt catching some of it. Plenty good money to be made in this scenario if you respond correctly to it.
So:
Prepare for calamity Prepare for opportunity Prepare your friends
Thats my plan.
If its yet another disaster drill, no harm done.
The sensible purchasing of life supplies will result in groceries $avings$ so it nets me money as I'll be using retail what I buy in bulk, anyway.
Preparing for opportunity, even if a drill, will improvew my financial situation and alertness.
Preparing my friends will help them gain an edge over the general population as they'll be sinking thoughts and actions into investing into the ounces of prevention that outperform pounds of cure, and it will futher separate the wheat from the chaff, those who take me seriously will weigh my words, or anyones words, more carefully as the forecast did not materialize, and those who think its all a big joke, will take me even less seriously, which, too, is advantageous.

A doctor in Miami who was testing the homeless population was arrested outside of his home for no discernible reason.
The doctor also said he had no intention of calling police.
“I just got accosted by police,” he said. “Why would I call them?”

Some people are stupid.
There's one man in the photo with a thumbs up and another with the "ok" sign and not knowing anything else about the people, it seems pretty clear they are trying to communicate they're OK and thumbs up all good despite current events and despite gathering during a pandemic etc.
Just my first impression anyway. Perhaps I'm just out of the sign language loop.

Salt Bae is probably their nefarious leader.
He's made it big spronkling salt and displaying the OK before putting his meat in the mouths of the people sitting at the table.
Or maybe the most likely answer is the correct one.
