What are you going to do about showering?
About plates: instead of buying paper, just eat out of pot, and all you have to wash/replace is spoons, or take turns and you will waste only 1 spoon and 1 pot per meal for whole family.
Maybe they are telling us to stock up on all that stuff just so we would buy it and they would have more profit?

Insofar as showering, I think that there was mention of rain collecting barrels and how to set up those "camp showers" in the back yard.
I really wish that the public would be issued instructions, but that's pretty impossible because if they did advise everyone to stockpile for three months and NO EPIDEMIC occurred, then probably noone would ever agiain listen to any health professional about anything for like fifty dozen generations.
I do have straws on hand, with the paper supplies, because back at that time someone mentioned that if you are caring for a violently ill person in your own home, that straws may be the only way to get them to swallow any liquids.
I haven't read about any of this in quite some time, so I've no idea what the current recommendations might be.
