People shouldn’t confuse orderly preparation with panic.

Some of the people who have been processing stuff on the virus on the Board for over a month strike me as among the calmest, best prepared people around.

They happen to annoy people who think that the best way to deal with uncertainty and risk in life is to stick your head in the sand or some place else where the sun don’t shine.

People arent inclined to do any of this because “preppers” cant lay off the “doomsday cult” like vibe.

Folks would gladly put stuff away for a rainy day, but they arent looking to participate in a thing that is often associated with folks that are assuming that the goal is to live off the grid in a shack out in the woods with some beef jerky in one hand and a gun in the other because “OMG SOCIETY IS FOOKED!!!!”, which unfortunately the whole “prepper lifestyle” people really cant seperate from just having extra on hand for one darn minute sometimes.
