No reliable water also means sickness and possible death from polluted water. Plus, no water also means death.
If that happens here, millions will die just as they are going to die there and no weapons caused the deaths.
I researched and wrote an article on Survival Podcast some time ago about where our medicines come from. I'll look that up and post it here tomorrow.
I think we all better brush up on some medicinal herbs and food as pharmaceuticals too.
We aren’t seeing it on the news, but the situation in Greece regarding medications if horrific.
I keep an 18 month supply of my heart meds on hand at all times. As well as several courses of Cipro in the fridge. And two tubes of prescription AB ointment designed for MRSA.
If the SHTF we will lose millions of people in a big hurry for lack of medications.
We should not doubt for a minute that our government would use access to medicine as a weapon to subdue the populace.
“To me, the worst situation for the people is hospitals are running out of medicines and people can’t get blood pressure meds or diabetic meds, or cancer treatment and no meds of any kind means necessary operations stop. No medicine means many more deaths. That type death is coming right at you and you don’t have to be protesting to drop dead due to no meds.”
Ah, yes, and at this point these poor souls have lost control of their immediate situation, and it may at some point be that way here too. But ‘THESE POOR SOULS’ voted the evil genius’s into office, just and has been done here. Will the sheeple ever learn?
Prepping is absolutely necessary for survival. Here it is still not too late, but time is running out. These things you cite here, Marcella, are worse because they are dependent on the medical establishment. Our prepping needs to emphasize alternative approaches to health. It leaves it in our own hands and we can accumulate what is necessary for survival now without being dependent on doctor’s prescriptions etc.
