I think we'd make it, but gets awful damn hot down in Houston in the summer. lol
Once the literal death spiral gets going and there are no machines to bury the dead, who is going to volunteer to dig graves for the diseased dead by hand? Furthering and accelerating the death spiral.
Not all.
Well, is it just me, or is a nuclear incident of some sort just as likely, if not more so than in the 1960s? Hubby taught civil defense classes back then, and we decided that we would have a nuclear fallout shelter in the corner of our basement.
We never got around to it though. It might be time to do it. Using 10 inches min of concrete blocks for two walls would do it except for the ceiling, and ventilation system. Would need to stay there for a minimum of two weeks.
I think it’s a dereliction of duty that we no longer have a civil defense program, but the government has these fancy bunkers.
On another note, I have purchased a little portable generator/inverter combo that will run my cpap machine for at least 2 nights. It can be recharged with regular current, cigarette lighter, or solar panel. I doing some reading on solar panels, to see which kind might be useful.
That way, when our electricity goes out, we don’t have to fire up the big generator, unless it is an extended period. For the normal outages, this one should do.
I guess I should get a galvanized trash can, and line it with card board to store such stuff till I need it.
Civil defense is now totally up to individuals. The government “servants” don’t care a bit, and some of their benefactors in fact, are big believers in depopulation.
I do think we have “high flying assets” that might give us a bit more protection than is currently being discussed in the fake news “mockingbird” media.
