All I'm saying is don't let your supplies run low. I now get water when half the jugs are empty, fill up the car when the tank is half empty instead of waiting until the last moment. Same for non perishables and frozen food. Just keeping a buffer, not planning to survive nuclear winter. Some things we should have done long ago, hand sanitizer and disinfectant wipes in the car makes sense all year long. It already came in handy yesterday after a long jog on a muddy trail. I had my sandals on since it was going to be a mud fest anyway, cut my toe on a stick, bleeding etc. Disinfectant wipes to clean the mud and possibly animal feces out the wound before it can get infected. Easy, in reach, no need to dig up the emergency kit. But yep that's the society we live in, zero or hundred, all or nothing, black or white, measured responses are rare. Everything has to be sensationalized, hence I stopped following the main stream media over a decade ago. And indeed, for others, stay home when you have a fever and cover your cough. That would save a lot of flu victims each year as well. It would save employers valuable time in the long run as well. Sick people are less productive, half the office sniffling with the flu doesn't help anyone. |
Mostly what i'm doing right now. Get supplies when half out of them: gas, water, food. Too bad I don't have a freezer in the garage to stock up on frozen foods. That's the only thing that I potentially worry about.
Stock market is another thing altogether. It's been bull for way too long, way over inflated stock market was due for a correction.
I'm sure somewhere on this earth someone is freaking out like this is doomsday. Sucks to be them.
