Nobody could ever be ready for that - mentally anyway. How long did it take before the plague wore itself out? How long would a person have to hibernate?
You know I have to be able to get out into my garden. Not just for food, but also for attitude and mental health reasons.
All that crap with the dog food and toothpaste etc contamination - now this. We shouldn’t be importing crap like this from places like China.
One of these days we’ll probably all be poisoned from some crap that our enemies or even just greedy USA companies do. Deliberate or accidental doesn’t matter. Dead is dead.
The UN and the WHO are elated. Finally a way to world domination
“You know I have to be able to get out into my garden. Not just for food, but also for attitude and mental health reasons.”
You could do that since you are not in the city with people living jammed close to you. You must stay away from people.
For going to China.
Makes me wish I will be in the mountains when this happens. With my supply of fish antibiotics! It is one of the few things I only have one supply of and is on the list of important things to bring when bugging out.
As for holing up here, I’m good as long as two 55 gallon water barrels will be enough. I have yet to go to the store and get those Ozarka water jugs am waiting for my tendonitis et. al. to subside a bit more before re-inflaming it all ;(
Forgot to mention that I am starting to make my own cat food. One of my Persians has food allergies (allergic to all the grain they put in commercial cat food that cats do not need!). She had a bout of digestive problems this last month and the vet said to put her on all wet food, which she hates in the commercial grain-free options. So I looked up making cat food, bought the supplements, and made some. Luckily, she is the one that loves raw meat so switching her to the raw food diet was easy ;) Her sister and brother are resistant though!
It’s actually cheaper to make your own food rather than buy the expensive supposedly good-quality food. (Even Natural Balance grain-free foods had melamine in it years ago).
Outbreak and Contagion are the movies commonly referenced but a more realistic situation in a pandemic, at least from the long term view is “After Armageddon”
our quality control of imports is sadly lacking

So is our quality control of some domestic products. That’s why I am going back to growing and canning most of my own stuff.
Excellent idea and action. I hope to get there someday.
Ohhhhh. Got it!
Incredibly irresponsible.
