Preppers’ PING!!

I’ve been thinking about this for sometime since they found MERS in the air of a camel barn in Saudi while the Ebola outbreak was growing.

I don’t know if Ebola or MERS will lead to a SHTF event or not, but with the present ‘Open’ border policy bringing in any number of communicable diseases and the real chance that some carriers could be sent here on purpose it brings up a real possibility of extended quarantines being imposed. In fact it may get to a point in which a wise person will impose a quarantine on their family even if health officials don’t.

There are more than a few FReepers who like to point out how silly preparing for a ‘Mad Max’ situation is, but what if it isn’t ‘Mad Max’? What if it is something as simple as being able to shelter in place for 30-60 days while an outbreak runs its course? Could you make it through such a quarantine with what you have in you home? If you haven’t thought about it maybe its time.

As the LDS say “When the emergency is upon us the time for preparedness has past.”

Hat tip to DCBryan1 for the heads up.

Very possible.

Thanks.

If it ain't Mad Max, I will be sorely disappointed. I just got cool-looking leather armor and a Mohawk.

It’s transmitted by bats. I avoid moon bats to the best of my abilities.

I do have enough to keep the house covered for a season or longer but we work in healthcare, so...
