Trump's War Against the Coronavirus Is Working

I’m not a soldier but I lived many years without running water. We had to conserve because our storage capacity was very small, about 100 gallons. In winter, we could be snowed in for as long as 2 months.

Thank God for thin hair! I can take an entire “shower” in a half gallon of water. We bought a small metal tub..about 2 1/2 feet on top and a foot and a half or so on bottom to collect water from our “showers” that we could stand in. The kids could sit in it and actually take a bath. The grey water was dumped into the garden area. Most houses have bathtubs or shower stalls, but we didn’t have that. We heated and cooked with wood. Life wasn’t easy but gosh did I love it. Today I’m grateful for those survival experiences as are my kids. Every one of them can survive on very little and are prepped to live for months if need be. Some of my great grand kids are in the process of learning. Survivalist existence is a lifestyle regardless of circumstances. ALWAYS be prepared for emergencies because they can srike quite suddenly and in unexpected ways. Acquire items that can act as dual purpose items. An air mattress can also be a flotation device in an emergency. A small tend in your living room can provide a small space which can be easily warmed in winter with a candle and a couple of terracotta flower pots. An oil lamp also heats well. A dog can keep you warm in your bed.

If you have a larger dog you can train him to carry wood in a special apron on its back, or can help you pull a wagon of some sort for you.

Diesel furl is not explosive. It works well as a lamp oil. Make sure you ventilate. It makes a fire a bit easier to start. Its just kerosene with stuff added to keep it from freezing and is a ton cheaper than lamp oil at walmart. Actual kerosene is better, but can be impossible to come by.

I keep a two burner propane stove on hand. You can get the long tube to connect to a reulator on a propane tank..even a full size tank. That tank can run both stove or propane lamp. The lamp puts out heat, too.

And don’t forget, some nice yard grills also gace a side burner or two. Aluminum foil is your friend. Keep lots on hand. It’s fantastic for watwrless food cooking and saves on water from not having pots and pans. Camp fires can help too.

Keep a solar shower on hand for heating water. They work frate for washing dishes as well as showers. Hang the bag on a wall and rinsing dishes is easy as pie. Don’t waste the grey water.
You can use the sun to heat the water, or you can fill it with warmed water. Whichever works best for your circumstances.

A spare car battery can run a light bulb with the right clip on gadget. Keep batter charging cables on hand to recharge the lamp battery.

Thise are all pretty extreme measures but sometimes extreme circumstances require extreme measures.

If you have a freezer full of food and high temps, and you can’t preserve it all fast enough..feed your neighbors. Have a big cook out and invite them..or do it from the sidewal or front yard so its open to all. Better to deed your neighbors and get to know them so you all can work as a team, than to let what you can’t use/preserve, go to waste. Your neighbors may not be as wise as you, and they’ll appreciate a meal. They may be willing to learn and work as a team. They can be resources or they can be enemies. You can help be the leadership than many of those sheep need in an emergency. Such a thing keeps peace.

As evidenced by their use of military bases to hold quarantined travelers, and their identification of military bases with large numbers of barracks or warehouses as quarantine locations should the US have the same situation as the Chinese illustrates there is military involvement.

By the way, the Homeland Security personnel who interact with the quarantined travelers wear full hazmat suits including respirators units with their own oxygen source. The buiilding(s) that hold the travelers are surrounded with barbed wire fences and concentina.

If it does the job and isn’t corrupted by dems, it’s a success....

I want to apologize for my error in the following.

Surprising for me, the coronavirus survives best at 20 degrees C (42, F) at about 50 percent humidity. As the temperature and humidity goes *up,* the virus dies faster—especially humidity (surprise)! At 80% humidity, the virus begins to die pretty fast (within a day to three days).

20 degrees Celsius is 68 degrees Fahrenheit. I was pushing it too hard here and am catching up on rest. But higher humidity will stop the virus much more quickly, especially in higher heat.

The information behind these links will make more sense than I did.
