One thing I should mention is that the media is clearly NOT showing the recovery rate of people who had Coronavirus. So far, estimates show that approximately 40,000 people who contracted Coronavirus have recovered with no further symptoms and in full health. The virus is a LOT less deadly than some people are making it out to be. However, the usual at-risk groups are the ones who should meticulously prepare as it seems to have a higher mortality rate among those people than other diseases.

I just use that one to stun them so I can get to work
Hell yeah! That’s what I’m talking about. Playing with your food in a hard core way.
This...
I've seen several Youtube videos of people eating C Rations from the late 60's and early 70's, and for the most part they were still edible.
Your grocery store canned stuff like Chef Boyardee pasta's, Hormel Chili, Campbells soups etc. should be edible for quite some time beyond the expiration date, but they are probably most appetizing if eaten before it goes too far past that date.
I ate c-rations when I was a Cub Scout in the 70’s. Those things were OLD.
With canned stuff, if it doesn’t spoil in a few years, it won’t, as long as the can maintains it’s integrity.
In the seventies, we opened lifeboat rations from WWII and consumed everything. It was all good. Including the smokes and matches.

They were produced for decades, and I still have somewhat fond memories of certain menu items from the early to mid 70's.
As a young GI we used to trade and barter certain items in the C ration box, for example, I didn't smoke so I could trade off the cigarettes for foods I liked..
But you are absolutely right... canned stuff has a much longer lifespan than most people realize. When you open an old can you are going to know pretty quick by the smell if it's spoiled. For the rest, it mainly comes down to a question of palatability.
Ah...The Jeffrey Dhamer Culinary Art cookbook page 1 !
You know, people going crazy isn't great, but this is still WAY better than them doing it in the few hours before a mandatory quarantine goes into effect. I have a couple more canned foods I need to pick up to feel complete, but I'll just hit Giant or something.

Tell that to my chunky milk.
All kidding aside, many labels are there because Government said so.
That's not old milk. That's fresh made cottage cheese
Went to the Giant in Urbana about an hour ago. Regular Sunday crowd, short lines, and well stocked in canned goods and water (although I was quick). Didn't check for hand sanitizer.
By contrast, my wife said Frederick Costco was a zoo on Friday morning.

Is there still talk of Giant and Safeway going on strike?
Giant has a deal. Safeway does not.

Something I think I will add to my stores is a pump up garden sprayer and some spray able disinfectant. You have seen the videos of the Chinese and Koreans spraying everything. I might want to disinfect something large like maybe a car or a room or even a visiting MDS member.
What would be a good broad spectrum disinfectant that could be sprayed from a garden sprayer?
Sample sprayer:

I use https://www.homedepot.com/p/Simple-...aner-and-Disinfectant-3310100401128/305116845 . Doubt its been officially tested on every day cold (viruses)
Product description said it gets other enveloped RNA viruses, including HCV and HIV (HCV is a bit hardier in the environment), so as you said, it probably works with SARS-CoV-2. For those not clicking through, this product's active ingredient is a detergent that solubilizes the lipid membrane of the virus (stolen/pinched off from the host cell membrane) rendering it uninfectious.
