I`d say that`s the answer, eggs keep a long time compared to some things.
The math on this whole Covid-19 is really bad. The consensus seems to be that the social distancing will work, along with being out of "cold and flu" season (which according to the experts actually DOES have something to do with the warmer weather and longer daylight hours doing natural UV sterilization), and that the whole thing will taper off in a few months.
The problem is it will still be around, and will be raging in the southern hemisphere, ready to make a comeback in the fall. I don`t know if these were NJ numbers, but the estimate was that by the fall only 5% of the population will have gotten it, meaning that there will still be 95% susceptible, so here we go all over again. Hence the 24 month scenario I mentioned in an earlier post. At least in the next wave there should be plenty of masks, ventilators, field hospitals, and a lot more information on the bug.

You really think there will be the number or masks, ventilators, field hospitals, and info needed to fight a second, third, and fourth wave? Honestly, I don`t see public access to masks happening within the next six months.

There are surgical masks (non-N95) available on Amazon right now. Most have shipping dates in early May (better than nothing) and some are available right now.
Re: Dealing with the Corona Epidemic
You guys are still freaking my out I see.
Did you know that the CDC estimates 48 million people get sick, 128,000 are hospitalized, and 3,000 die from foodborne diseases each year in the United States. CDC provides estimates for two major groups of foodborne illnesses – known pathogens and unspecified agents.

I was already thinking April Fools on the product name (particularly when said in an Aussie accent), the "facemasks" just added to it.
Still funny either way.

Heh heh, you lost me! Are you saying the COVID-19 isn`t all that serious because of the specs on food-borne illnesses? If so, COVID-19 is infinitely harder to avoid...

We can minimize the impact though, if every one wakes up and becomes strategic.

They are setting up 4 field hospitals here in NJ. I`m just saying it IS being done, I can`t say it will be enough. We are estimated to be short about 1750 beds, a lot better than New York.
