Thanks for the priority list.

Do you have any Cipro or Doxycycline. Any reason why not?

Oh, good catch. Put doxycycline in the must have category, I should have gone and looked at my stocks instead of winging it. Birdbiotic, 200mg Blue Capsules.

Cipro, yes, good to have, primarily for gastro in my world. My mother had diverticulosis and cipro was the choice if her temp started going up. She died 2 years ago and it has faded from my radar. I have some and some oflaxacin but would still put it in the nice to have but lower priority category.

We could go for days on this. Antibiotics are the most important but there are lots of others, maintenance drugs, etc. that are nice to keep around if shelf stable... nitroglycerin for example, insulin too... won’t last long. The initial die off from chronic conditions will be severe if supplies are interrupted for more than a month. No good answers here.

Dermal infections will be a big problem between poor sanitation and increased physical/outdoor activity. The risk of a staph infection is one thing that I do worry about. Vancomycin does not come or administer easily. Having had a staph infection that took IV Vancomycin to finally knock out, I know it’s out there. But there is a limit to what you can do.

Sorry, running stream of thought here. I’ll check out the blog that you mentioned. Thanks a lot!
