Does anyone else think that it’s good that we actually practice for these things?

It is a good idea. We practice for a lot of disasters. Kind of wondering about using the word “massive”.

No. Absolutely not! There should never be any sort of drills or preparedness practice scenarios acted out. That includes everything from fire drills in schools and nursing homes and HAZMAT drills in factories, lifeguard training where the lifeguards take turns pretending to be the drowning victim, all the way up to what they do at nuclear facilities, like testing the sirens and drilling for what they might have to do if all the alarms suddenly go off. Hospitals and first responders shouldn’t ever practice for a mass casualty event nor should those in public health department every practice and test the delivery systems of medical supplies during a biological attack or large scale communicable disease outbreak, just as those who live in tornado alley shouldn’t worry about preparing for an outbreak of tornados, those living along the East or Gulf Coast – hurricanes, those in an earthquake and or tsunami zone…

We should all just wait until something really bad happens and then just figure it out as we go.

Besides that way people could post on internet forums complaining about how short sighted it was that nobody ever thought to prepare and practice for such a scenario and what idiots there were for not doing so. Of course then there will be the people who will claim, no matter the facts in evidence, that a very real disaster was just a “false flag”.

I certainly do. I’ve participated in them in fact. Very informative.
