If you're sick, or anyone in your house is sick, no one should leave the house because they potentially expose others

If your community is heavily impacted, you elect to self quarantine to protect yourself

If supply lines are interrupted, there may be shortages

Depending on the number of people in your home, you could be homebound for several months (6 weeks per person with staggered sick times)

Toilet paper isn't something you want to run out of

The shelves are empty at Costco by noon. Get it now
