Wife and I were talking about the Coronavirus and the quarantine going on in certain areas of China this morning. The virus itself is one thing but the economic impact of a quarantine on a personal level is frightening. We discussed the possible impact of either the city we live in, work in or possible both being placed under quarantine.
It was originally thought a two week quarantine was sufficient and now some are saying it should be a month. Regardless, are we prepared to be out of work for two weeks, a month or possibly longer with everyone else around us?
Our household stocks up on food and water every couple weeks but by the end of those two weeks things are starting to get pretty scarce around our house.
As the primary income provider in our household I would like to think that I have enough sick time and vacation time accrued to get us through a financial hardship of this type. Would be taking a hit on my wife's part time income though.
Anybody else thought about how something like Coronavirus would effect them personally if their area was placed under quarantine?
