A member asked:
Why should i stock up on bottled water ahead of a coronavirus outbreak? what's wrong with tap water?

No reason: Unless you regular water source will be compromised , is unstable, or your current water source is contaminated there appears to be no reason to stock up on bottled water in the United States. Tap water is better because it saves the accumulation of disposable plastic waste.
