Your Strategy

doctor and patient with masks

You’ll need both standard and N95 masks as part of your medical supplies. I would recommend a significant number of each as the masks will be contaminated once worn and should be discarded. A simple truth regarding medical supplies in a pandemic: You can never have too many. Any “extras” you might have will be incredibly valuable barter items in times of trouble.

There are no absolute standards with regards to who wears what in the sick room. I would recommend using the standard surgical masks for those who are ill, to prevent droplets from coughing or sneezing (which can send air droplets several feet) and the N95 masks for the caregivers. In this fashion, you will give maximum protection to the medical personnel.

Remember, your highest priority is to protect yourself and the healthy members of your group. Plan out a sick room area and isolate those that might be contagious. Have plenty of masks, as well as gloves, aprons, eyewear, and antiseptics, and pay careful attention to every aspect of hygiene. Your survival may depend on it.

My biggest concern is just how far a person can get in 21 days.

In past generations authorities didn't hesitate to establish quarantines to prevent spread of infectious disease.

But political correctness prevents such simple and effective strategies today.

It just wouldn't do to negatively affect the self esteem of some 3d world Ebola carrier.

Just heard on the radio that they are bringing the nurse and doctor that have Ebola back to America.

But deconing mil-surp gear then becomes the issue. With most chemical contaminants, well enough should be good enough. With microbes that have a 90% fatality rate, it needs to be perfect every time. Disposable therefore becomes easier, maybe even safer. Perhaps double suiting with tyvek over your NBC with a dry decon of the tyvek layer first would help? A person can second guess this shit all day!

That is a good suggestion. This virus is different and troubling. I agree about the second guessing.

The article linked below makes sense to me. The mask might be of use to control pollen intake, but stopping germs, I don’t think so.

Homosexuals. I posted on another thread that this is moving to fast, it must be
sexual contact. Homos have a voracious appetite for different partners as often as possible.
