is the Enemy, Creating a last minute food stash…
No matter the epidemic, one thing remains the same:
We’re already seeing panic all over the United States.
Worse, we also have a perfect storm of misinformation.
There are still many unknowns. If unchecked, however, some
experts are saying, the novel coronavirus could infect 60 to 80% of the
population.
(Even with a 1% mortality rate, that’s an absolute disaster.)
Gabriel Leung, a professor, epidemiologist, and chair of public
health medicine at Hong Kong University is among them.
“Is 60-80% of the world’s population going to get
infected? Maybe not. Maybe this will come in waves. Maybe the virus is going to
attenuate its lethality because it certainly doesn’t help if it kills everybody
in its path, because it will get killed as well.”
But Hong Kong, Leung has warned, which has a mounting number of
confirmed cases, is rearing up for a disaster.
What’s needed to stave off total catastrophe?
“You need extra trust, extra sense of solidarity, extra sense of
goodwill, all of which have been completely used up – every last drop in that
social capital fuel tank has been exhausted after now eight months of social
unrest, so it couldn’t have come at a worse time.”
Several reports suggest COVID-19 can live on surfaces for over a
week.
Everyone is talking about why you should “wash your hands”
frequently…
But if you’re going right back to touching your nasty, bacteria-ridden
phone…
What’s the point?
We’ve never had a pandemic with smartphones. And that’s a
problem. Because they’re disgusting.
Problem is, alcohol wipes and disinfectant can do a number on
that expensive pocket computer.
UV-C
light has been shown effective in killing coronavirus. (Just don’t try to
sanitize your skin with it, please.)
I’ve recently purchased a Phone Soap device for my household.
Want to be extra paranoid?
Disinfect your mail & packages, cash, keys, and credit
cards.
UV-C wands are one way of doing it.
2] Stay informed. Think locally.
The WHO recently sent a team to China to suss out the dangers.
For what it’s worth, here’s what they
found.
On top of cutting out any unnecessary travel…
There are several resources for staying informed about any
potential spread in your local area.
Better than Zuckbook:
Nextdoor, the location-based
social media website, is a great way to stay plugged into your area… and even
start your own coronavirus preparedness forum.
(Nextdoor.com)
Another one that might grow legs is called Sneeze
Map,
a way for people to contribute whether they’re healthy, or whether they’ve come
into contact with sick people.
More resources will probably pop up.
3] Prep that immunity.
I spoke with a local osteopath and he sent out a list of what
he’s doing to prepare.
Don’t take this as gospel.
DISCLAIMER*: Take
it for what it’s worth… do your own research… consult other health
professionals… and stay safe.
Yours in freedom,

Stockpiling enough food to keep you and your family alive for a
long time can be very challenging. Think
about it: However much you spend on your weekly shopping trip is how much a
week’s worth of emergency food could cost. And that’s just one week.
There’s a reason certain foods have remained so popular among
preppers and survivalists. Rice and beans, for example. They have a long
shelf-life, they’re filling, and they’re good for you. These foods will always
make the cut, while others are best reserved for softer times. (Sorry, salad
lovers.)
In this article, we’re going to take a look at the fifteen most
popular survival foods and talk about why they’re so popular. If you’re
preparing for a disaster, consider getting every one of these...

Finding water in the wilderness is actually pretty
straightforward. Walk downhill, look for animal tracks that are all heading in the same
direction, watch for areas with lots of insects such as mosquitoes, and listen
carefully. There are many other ways to gather water in the wilderness, but
those are the basics.
Gathering water in the city, however,
is a whole other situation. Where can you find water during an urban disaster?
In this video, The Green Prepper answers that question. Here are his
suggestions.

Because of the breakdown of education and the
extraction of our founding principles from American classrooms, young people –
tomorrow’s leaders – believe the bold lie that government is the solution to
any economic problem.
If we want to preserve the America we know and love, we need to stop the lie—immediately. And the best way to counter this lie is to share the truth.
That’s why the team at The Heritage Foundation put together an exclusive e-booklet called The 9 Ways Socialism Will Morally Bankrupt America. It has all the arguments you’ll need to explain the dangers of socialism—and to expose the heartlessness and cruelty of a socialist regime.

Amen brother-two thumbs up for your posts!
Little doubt that mass media, especially Leftist news outlets, push a negative, anti-Trump narrative vs. making an effort to pull together. Very shameful.
We really appreciate all the work you put into this. Your resources always prove useful.
The fake news outlets [Maddow, chuck Todd, etc.] continue to push a lot crap on their airwaves rather than being helpful or supportive; what a bunch of media whores.
