Please watch this show. I made my family watch it when it first came out and I tested them on it.

It shows how to avoid being infected, what to food prep, how to take care of an infected patient, how to set up a sick room and how to defend your home and attack dogs.

For what it is worth, I noticed that the mainstream news is referring to this issue as “the ebola scare”, insinuating that the fear and hype is more dangerous than the actual possiblity of a pandemic. I notice things.

Here is the book that accompanies the series, which includes how to survive a mall shooting, a nuclear attack and a hurricane.

I bought this for myself and a neighbor.

#1 on everyone’s prep list should be a copy of Psalm 91 to claim for your family: (Just cut and paste and hand out)

Psalm 91 English Standard Version (ESV) My Refuge and My Fortress

1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.

2 I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress,my God, in whom I trust.”

3 For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence.

4 He will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.

5 You will not fear the terror of the night,nor the arrow that flies by day,

6 nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness,nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.

7 A thousand may fall at your side,ten thousand at your right hand,but it will not come near you.

8 You will only look with your eyes and see the recompense of the wicked.

9 Because you have made the Lord your dwelling place—the Most High, who is my refuge

10 no evil shall be allowed to befall you,no plague come near your tent.

11 For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.

12 On their hands they will bear you up,lest you strike your foot against a stone.

13 You will tread on the lion and the adder; the young lion and the serpent you will trample underfoot.

14 “Because he holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him; I will protect him, because he knows my name.

15 When he calls to me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him.

16 With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.”

I’ll get some friends, lots of pretty girls, go into my isolated castle and tell stories till the pandemic passes like Boccaccio in The Decameron.

On second thought forget the friends. No need to share the pretty girls!

If they are going to do a gas attack they will use chlorine. It is all over in a gas form. No filter will work.

Preppers’ PING!!

Hat tip to TADSLOS and to To Hell With Poverty for the heads up!

We are all going to die, horribly. See, the thing about ebola is that you bleed painfully from every orifice, including your eyes and ears and even your skin pores, and your tongue sloughs off in a black bloody dead mess, and you scream and scream and scream and then your vocal cords pop out when you vomit them out, and even then they lie on the floor and continue to scream.

Just to help us get organized. Add whatever you need to take care of others for Ebola. Guidelines for Minimizing the Spread of Virus 1. Set up a separate room after a pandemic starts, before anyone is sick.  Pre-position supplies (see below for a suggested list and amounts). Place hand cleaning materials throughout the house. Remove all unneeded items from the room. This will make cleaning and disinfection easier. Consider removing curtains.  If possible choose a room that is close to its own bathroom. If no separate bathroom is possible, consider preparing for an RV chemical toilet or other separate toilet.  Choose a room that is as far away from the rest of the family as is feasible. Possibilities include: guest house, mobile home/camper/trailer house, loft above a garage, spare bedroom, partition of a larger room (to be screened off with plastic). 2. Infection control guidelines:  Separate the sick person from other people in the household to the extent possible. Use a separate room and bathroom, if possible.  Limit the number of persons coming into the household to those who are absolutely essential for care giving. No visitors other than the caregiver.  Hand hygiene. This means thorough hand washing with soap and water, or using hand sanitizer.  Source control. The sick person should cover the nose/mouth with a tissue or their sleeve when coughing and dispose of tissues in a waste container with a plastic bag lining. The caregiver should ideally have a respirator and eye protection on before entering the separate area (masks are non-reusable, goggles need cleaning).  Gloves. Disposable gloves should be worn by the caregiver before touching the sick person and while disinfecting the room. Always wash your hands after taking the gloves off. Dispose of gloves in a plastic bag-lined waste container when done.  Laundry. Always put gloves on before handling any laundry – bedding, towels, clothing, etc. Carefully place laundry in a plastic bag until time to launder. Wash separately from other household laundry in warm water and detergent.  Drinks/Meals. Use disposable cups, bowls, plates and utensils to save cleanup time and reduce the chance of the virus spreading.  Household waste. Gloves, tissues, paper plates, etc. from the separate room should be put in a kitchen garbage bag and disposed of with other household waste. Feces and blood. Transmission of the flu virus through feces and blood is possible. To be safe, OSHA recommends using gown and gloves, and treating materials as potentially infectious. Place in a separate bag and then seal the bag and dispose of it. 3. Cleaning and disinfection. Remove clothing items that are soiled by the sick person and place them in the garbage bag for laundry. Close the bag when done. Clean and disinfect surfaces that are frequently touched by the sick person. Do this daily, if possible. Do NOT use a spray bottle. Use a bucket, and rag or paper towel. A good disinfecting solution is bleach diluted with water. Guidelines: 1. Wear either new disposable gloves or disinfected reusable household gloves each time the cleaning and disinfecting process begins. 2. Each day, mix 2 tablespoons of unscented household bleach into a bucket holding 1 quart of water. This cleaning solution will be good for one day only. 3. Dip a rag or paper towel into the bleach solution and wring it out. 4. Thoroughly wipe down hard surfaces with the rag, dipping it into the bleach solution as often as needed. Used rags go in the laundry bag for this room. Used paper towels go in the plastic bag-lined garbage can. 4. Supplies: Gather adequate supplies now and store in a container kept in the room planned to be used for patients. Products and suggested amounts in the list below give an idea for supplies for one person, sick for two weeks. These are rough guidelines only and circumstances will vary.  Bleach: One quart of regular, unscented household bleach. This will be mixed with water, when needed, to kill the virus. Important – Bleach has a short shelf life. Replace with a new bottle every three months.  Water: At least six gallons, for mixing with bleach.  Buckets: for mixing the bleach solutions, as a vomit receptacle, etc.  Rags (at least 7) to wipe surfaces with the bleach solution. These can be sanitized and reused. Or, store paper towels.  Trash bags. At least 30 sturdy, large “kitchen garbage bags” with selfclosing ties. These will be used for garbage, laundry, etc. (figure 2 per day).  Straws. These make it MUCH easier to feed someone in bed. For example, rice cereal can be mixed into a flavored slurry to get some carbs/binders into a sick person, and can be drunk with a straw.  Bedpan  Hand sanitizer (at least 60% alcohol): Many bottles of hand sanitizer for the sick room and for keeping around the house.  Disposable gloves (latex or nitrile if allergic to latex): one box (about 30 pairs) usually about $4/box – is a good start.  Respirators: depends on what type you have chosen.  Reusable P-100s: store 2 extra filters  Disposable N-95s or N100s: 28  Eye Protection: 1 pair of goggles to protect your eyes from a patient’s sneezing or coughing.  Medical supplies: see ‘Treating the flu: Home Treatment Resources’ for medical supplies. Be sure to include the ingredients for the Oral Rehydration Solution. This is critical to keeping the patient well hydrated. Here is one recipe: Oral Re-hydration Solution 1 level teaspoon of table salt 3 tablespoons of white sugar Powdered drink mix (for flavoring) in a sandwich bag. -Using plastic sandwich bags, pre-measure the above ingredients, combining all ingredients into single serving bags. Make a few bags for each family member Label each “Oral Re-hydration solution.” -When needed, each sandwich bag is added to 1 quart of water. Include the water in your container. Get fluids in as much as possible, as long as the patient is conscious. -for more information, see http://rehydrate.org/solutions/index.html
