I’m not trying to be argumentative because I know you guys are some of the brightest minds here but we are talking about panic, fear, hunger unknowns and when people are confronted with that they become very dangerous animals. I have no doubt I could become a monster very quickly were my family in danger. You know people are basically 3 days worth of meals from becoming cave dwellers and I don’t speak of the preppers. I am talking about the ones who didn’t prep. There will be too many ferals to fend off unless communities band together and people nowadays aren’t that smart, loyal or human. My husband and I are claims adjusters and we see people at their worst and humans can become nasty, threatening and inhuman in the blink of an eye. Just saying.
That is the EMP type scenario you just described, right now we are only talking about Ebola, and Ebola is not going to lead to widespread collapse in America.
At least not this time, this is just a wake up call to get ready for professional and widespread, bioterrorist attacks.
