Oh no they are feral humans that run in packs like wild dogs. Times are getting intersting as the ancient Chinese curse says . Make your preparation accordingly with regard to how you plan/hope to defend yourself & your loved ones.
Years ago I learned (from a master), how to use a cane for defense. Back then I thought it somewhat silly, after all, I was young and didn’t need a cane. Years later, at the wonderful age of 65, I now carry a cane, even though I don’t need one (yet) ... just to protect myself.
