Re:How would you prepare for a 30 day coronavirus quarantine...

I was answering a somewhat different question, namely, what is the minimum you need to live in quarantine for 30 days, starting with nothing but water and electricity. I'm not assuming the person has an oven or a refrigerator, or access to a delivery service. I was aiming to optimize nutrition and calories while minimizing cost.
Instant Pot is great for cooking food and it not spoiling too fast (e.g. meal prepping), but overkill when we're worried about viruses.
I did a quick inventory today and estimated we have enough calories from sugar, rice, beans/pulses and oil alone to live for 2+ months at normal function without weight loss. And enough other things for nutrients and many more calories. And that wasn't even planning for anything. Maybe I buy more than we need...
