2. Find all the phone chargers, laptop chargers, USB sticks, cables, everything. If you're not already obsessive about keeping things charged, get that way.
You're really expecting power interruptions due to the virus (in the US)?
No. I'm guessing that people may be called upon to pack up their gear and work in a place they didn't expect to be working. Or that they may need to improvise solutions in a hurry with whatever they've got handy. So having a bag full of chargers and cables and adapters and everything else just seems like good/easy/cheap preparation. (I think a lot of us already have such a bag, it's just that entropy sets in and the way it was once packed it probably not the way it's packed today.) I'm not really "expecting" anything other than suboptimal conditions. ---rsk
