Surviving the Coronavirus

[Deleted member]

Here's the link to the emergency resource guide we've started.

This is a chance to talk about your personal preparedness, and ask for help and tips during the national quarantine and cordon sanitaire activities in many countries, as distinct from the news-centric thread in Politics and Current Affairs.

@FriedCFour was talking about forming a Warband to take advantage of the situation with his friends, so I hope they're properly kitted:

Oh we all got promasks and mop gear, we are good.

This is my prepping list so far. Here's what I've got, in no particular order:

• MSA Millennium w/ Mira and Mestel CBRN filters
• Tyvek Suits
• Duraskin 4-mil gloves
• Kappler Chemtape
• Lifestraws
• Ef-Chlor chlorine tablets
• Matches
• Paracord
• Ferrocerium Firestarter
• Hand-crank radio
• Solar charger
• Fiskars Hatchet
• Duct Tape
• Plastic Drop Cloths
• Diversey Virex
• Diversey Oxivir Five 16
• Purell Foaming Sanitizer
• Tylenol
• Mucinex
• Advil
• Aspirin
• Motrin
• Vicks
• Ear Thermometer Probe Covers
• Mylar Blankets
• Emergency Food Buckets (Augason)
• Datrex Bars
• Canned Goods
• Instant Ramen

Et cetera, et cetera. I actually got 3 MSA Millenniums. Two for my mom and dad, as well.

I'm not fucking around, here. You guys should seriously consider having 90 days of food for each person in the household, bare minimum. That's a lot of food. Like, a pallet's worth. It disappears quicker than you think.

I'm too broke to doomsday prep so I guess i'm fucked if things take a turn for the worst.

My survival plan is a flintlock pistol, half a bottle of vodka, and @Train Dodger 's home address.

Eh, if it gets to the point where I personally need to have a major supply of food the government is in total collapse and we genuinely are in mad max times.

Fried has a pretty big posse behind him right now, @Train Dodger *smirk*. And specialists like me to handle his logistics. I think he's got the least worries of all of us.

My plan is to continue doing my job which keeps my community fed, If I die I die.

Yes. I mean, at the end of the day, if you're young and healthy you have more or less a 99.9% chance of surviving it, all the day from the ROK, Italy and Spain and the US is now confirming this.

In a hospital, maybe. I think people are worried about the hospitals being full, resulting in a situation where people who would survive with treatment go without, then die.

How many Western Governments are taking this state of emergency as an opportunity to take peoples guns away

We'll be able to provide basic care in almost any eventuality, which leaves us with only the ICU risk, which for middle-aged adults, even if ICU capacity completely collapses, is still a 98.9% chance of survival (only 1.1% of middle-aged adults need an ICU). In preparing.... Buy a lot of mucenix, tylenol and gatorade and practice cystic fibrosis massage and compression methods for dislodging mucus in the lungs.

most gun stores are shuttered or sold out. Theres been a mass ammunition run.

Anti gun advocates will be unhappy.

Ironically around the country lefties have been scrambling to get guns, only to encounter the roadblocks they put in place.

You can still get crossbows and bows pretty cheap.

Arrows and bolts can be reused and that's great for people with shit aim like me.

.22 Rimfire. It's cheap, and available everywhere (when people aren't doing runs on it). I have ~600 rounds just sitting around until Winter ends and I can go to a range to practice shooting some more.

I like having the option of re using arrows and bolts, and most of the time you can, its also easier to make said arrows and bolts with what stuff I have.

Though I admit that guns are for obvious reasons supperior for home defense.

Whoops.

Whoops.

Its ok Random I give you permission to say I told you so.

I'm too broke to afford guns, or do any panic buying like the idiots are doing.
