CORVID-19 Preps?

Doubletap...

With the fact that the USA gets 80% of the antibiotics today from China, plus other meds. I can see the potential for this getting very good for the USA in the long run.

If we run out of meds, because of this and people start having issues or even dying, this could be leveraged into big time anti China sentiment. Which hopefully will lead to Congress passing a bill outlawing importation of any thing from China.

Where is this stat supported? A quick Google didn't turn up much other than what could easily be mostly BS.

I recently heard a podcast interview with Rosemary Gibson, who has testified before Congress on the danger of our country's dependence on China for a large percentage of critical medications. It was very sobering and highlights the fact that, once again, our elected officials neglect to protect us from another very real and existential threat.

Per usual, follow the $$$

Seems there is a lot of off-topic bullshit and childish tantrums developing in this thread - strongly suggest plotting a course for correction and corrected course before this one runs into that "Here there be Monsters" part of the chart.

Can't prep enough for what's coming.

So the quick and dirty prep for anyone just cruising by the thread looks like what?


1. Water - I hear 1 gal/person/day but that seems unrealistic. How much does a household actually need?

2. Food - Pretty easy really. Peanut butter, canned tuna, canned beans, canned veggies, frozen meat, etc.

3. Meds - Couple months of Rx's, otherwise standard first aid stuff. What about cold/flu specific meds?

4. Toiletries - Lots of TP, antibacterial soap, etc. What about alcohol (what type specifically)?

5. Cash - Couple thousand in twenties just in case?

Depending on specifics like location (climate) and others, a gallon a day is probably a safe planning factor. Most people don’t actually drink that much so you’ll likely use closer to .5-.75 gallons a day per person, but one gallon is usually a good baseline even for someone who has worked out and needs to rehydrate. Keep in mind that’s just drinking water though.

Personal opinion but I don’t know how useful that much cash will be. Obviously have some, but if the world is ending I doubt cash or even gold and silver will be worth anything. Resources and labor/skills will be the primary currency for a long time IMO. I’m curious what others have to say on it through because I doubt we’re going to be at that level and the situation in between is almost harder to predict.
