Are THEY prepared for ME?

There is absolutely no way possible this hasn’t been planned out.
When you get idiots like the clown from the CDC getting his talking points out of sequence and making a reference to something that hadn’t yet happed, you know it’s planned.
Thanks, that is exactly what I have, just in a lower concentration than other websites specify. I still think it will work fine, once adjusted for its concentration.
I was going to say not practical for long-term survival, due to the relatively large costs of the jars and then the storage space required, but you’re really looking at it for non-refrigerated short-term storage of excess food. That does make sense.
For those in suburban areas where houses are close together, you need to ask yourself a question. If this goes hot and all of the morons and illegals begin to panic and loot houses....are you prepared to fire?
I'm not a doctor and didn't stay at a Holiday Inn so here's my take. 30 days for the first round but an extra 30 days for those who showed symptoms after the first round and maybe another 30 just because. Of course, this admin won't do that so we'll all be on our own.
10" Aquacera Super Cerasyl gravity filter candle at Amazon- $ 18.
32 gal LDPE (food grade plastic) trash can at Walmart- $ 30
dont forget to buy some goggles in case you are treating a family member at home
While the waterBOB is an excellent idea, I’m thinking maybe use it in only one bathroom. You’re going to need to have your second bathroom for proper bathing and maybe washing clothes if the power goes down. Someone had mentioned recently that a bathroom would make for a good sick room.

I suspect that most people on this site will not have a problem if they need to deal with zombies. The rules are different with Ebola and people will do what they need to in order to protect themselves. But also, unlike most other scenarios, zombies will be expressly prohibited from even walking the streets (that’s the who point of confinement), so there simply won’t be as many and dealing with them will be a lot different than, say, some “youths” knocking on doors after a hurricane.
“30 days for the first round but an extra 30 days for those who showed symptoms after the first round and maybe another 30 just because.”
I agree. Like a nuke or EMP attack we tend to think it’s a one-shot deal. Take your radio out of the Faraday Cage, try to hear some news, and ZAPP!, another flash. It could well end up being a series of 30-day confinements.
Depending on the items stored they can last anywhere from 3-15 years when stored like this. Most of my jars have been purshaed on sale, at yard sales and closeout sales. Storage space includes closets, under the beds, under couches, and in my pantry - generally areas not used for anything else.
I have had a problem finding the right kind of Calcium Hypochlorite
Smart...
As far as Ebola, I’m wondering about asprin since it thins the blood. Just checked and saw this: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22338573
“In the future, newer antiplatelet agents may offer more comprehensive platelet inhibition without interfering with primary hemostasis, thus offering greater protection with lower hemorrhagic risk.”
Water, don't forget water, that should be your first priority. If you use the pool shock tablets make sure they do not contain an algaecide. It will make you sick.
You’re definitely in good shape...and you have made a very practical hobby out of being prepared. Nice job, but definitely somewhat risky for people don’t have the expertise/experience (like myself), especially compared to professionally-canned food. I suspect that we’ll both make it through this, even if it gets bad.
FYI - Amazon.com has a few $0.00 Kindle downloads of prepper books. Doesn’t hurt to glance through them for tips. Also, scroll through the “how to” books.
You don't have to be an expert to do this. Read/watch and learn. Start with small batches and work your way up to larger amounts. If you flub something at first, you do not have a lot invested in it and can work on it to get it right.
I think that water storage in the trash cans/bags would still come in handy for washing dishes/clothes/hands, flushing toilets, etc. You wouldn’t have to worry about contamination for those jobs.
