* Survivalists warned families would not cope if an epidemic happened now
* Families 'must take it upon themselves to prepare for worst in advance'
* Experts advise avoiding all human contact and stocking up on supplies
* In worst case scenario flee to uncontaminated area with emergency kits
Stocking up on drinking water and avoiding all human contact are among steps that will have to be taken to avoid an Ebola epidemic, survivalists have warned.
To avoid contracting the deadly virus people will have to barricade themselves in their homes if the infection spreads, they say.
Their advice comes as sales of protective clothing and home infection control kits rise with an increasing number of people fearing the worst.
Around 4,000 people have died after contracting Ebola which broke out in western Africa in March.
While the threat of an epidemic in the UK remains low, experts have warned those who have a good chance of surviving an outbreak must prepare now before it is too late.
One survivalist, known only as Steve, said among the ways to stay safe in the worst possible scenario is to avoid all human contact.
'If this virus were to really get hold it would expand exponentially and result in a very big mortality rate....

“Good Lord man, how hard are you working to find something to pick a fight over?”
You’re the one who usually does that about Catholics voting for Democrats. How’s it feel to happen to you?
Can’t imagine how bugging out can work with Ebola, unless you’re cooped up in an apartment in a major city.
Sorry, man, terrible headache.
At this time there is no indication that there will be 7 million cases by January. To this point, the number of people infected has doubled every 30 days or so. At that rate, we can expect about 200,000 folks to become infected by January. Between now and then we can try to understand the disease and develop strategies to slow it’s spread.
Of course it would help if someone could convince Obama to get his head out of his ass...
Be prepared, but don’t panic.
“One cool thing about an Ebola survival scenario, is that we still have all the luxuries, hot showers, flush toilets, our full kitchens, internet, and air conditioning.”
...for now. But I certainly agree, as far as survival scenarios are concerned, this one is among the easiest: Shelter in place, but don’t count on public services holding up throughout...there is just no way to predict the extent of the panic (i.e., what if water treatment people stay home too?).
Oh and Obola's new CDC screening procedures AT "SELECTED" AIRPORTS include a questionnaire asking these people:
"Are you infected with Ebola, yes or no?"
Who in their right mind would believe ANYTHING ANY OF THESE PEOPLE FLYING FROM HIGHLY INFECTED AREAS HAVE TO SAY WHEN ANSWERING Obola's CDC questions?
Yea, these new Obola CDC screening procedures are totally reassuring given the fact that the first ILLEGAL ALIEN who flew to America for treatment KNEW THAT HE HAD EBOLA AND L I E D WHEN HE WAS ASKED ESSENTIALLY THE SAME QUESTIONS!
NOT! This is ANIMAL FARM where "All animals are equal BUT some animals are more equal than others." If you want to get a glimpse of what we are facing individually, socially and as a nation watch the movie CONTAGION.
No problem, thanks.
It would take a heck of a scenario for the government to allow utilities to die off.
what’s a good biohazard suit cost?
I can show you threads where the prediction is 140 million dead Americans pretty soon.
Another thread predicts up to 75% of the world’s population dead by December 2015.
You should see the predictions of individual posters.
Agreed.
I don’t know, I do own the Gore-Tex MOPP suit with mask and accesories, but I don’t know how much those medical suits cost.
“It would take a heck of a scenario for the government to allow utilities to die off.”
Hard to tell...just a kink in our ‘wonderful’ Just-In-Time inventory system and things get very ugly, very fast.
But in your defense, I haven’t seen any news of utility disruptions in West Africa (beyond the usual abysmal normalcy there)...but we should watch.
In America our primary mission would be keeping utilities working, it doesn’t take all that many people nor does it necessarily involve a lot of public exposure, and the military is very up to speed on utility restoration and operating and repairing.
We have much military that not only does that as part of their daily work on ships and bases, but are to go into destroyed cities and get things going.
i believe she either didn’t follow protocol, or she did, but someone else didn’t and if affected her. the very best cannot follow it 100% of the time. all it takes is one time of not following it. she may have followed it but if someone else didn’t and you use something they screwed up on, you’re infected.
Well you are assuming there will be people driving the trucks to deliver the supplies and fuel to keep the grid going for the Internet, air conditioning and kitchen appliances.
what i thoughtnwas the joke on the joke of not only continuing the flights,’was the idiot whomcame on about the extra screening and said the eight extra airports doing more screening see 94% of the travellers from these countries.
6% aren’t. how’d you like to be in that 6%? how many in the 6% not extra screened, which by most accounts is temperatures taken by remote machine, not as accurate as actual temperature taking by mouth probe. and a couple questions that can be lied about.
