Funny how the high-IQ, medically and scientifically trained, analytical type people are NOT the ones yelling “THE SKY IS FALLING; THIS IS OUT OF CONTROL; WE’RE ALL GOING TO DIE BEFORE NEW YEARS!!!”. They tend to be rationally concerned, however.
BTW, I have $750 of N95, N100, and P100 masks and respirators in the closet (for whatever), along with a storage unit full of other supplies and preps; your head-in-sand appellation looks foolish.
If it truly gets loose, that'll be a zombie world that, being an older fella, I'll not want any part of.
My 'medicine' will cost about $0.75, administered cranially, and will be the last one in the mag.
Any survivors can use the savings for a gala party while waiting for their own liquifaction to set in !
Btw, the whole 'appeal to authority' thing isn't all that persuasive when the 'authorities' in question have so far been about fourteen shades of wrong and/or derelict.
Regardless, good luck with it all.
Thanks for the recognition.
It’s a matter of understanding risk management. If you take time to analyze the risk, learn what the dangers are and develop a workable strategy how to mitigate them, there is no need to panic. You take whatever steps necessary to decrease the risk, and you have confidence that the mitigation measures work.
I think back on military basic training, where we had to enter a gas chamber while wearing a gas mask. While you stand there with the mask, breathing clean air, the room fills with tear gas. Then you are ordered to remove the mask and breathe the tear gas. You will never again doubt that gas masks really work. That training is extremely effective at teaching one to have confidence in the mitigation measures.
