RE: Covered during recovery?
"Is there medication to help stop the dizziness and disorientation, to the point where you could function at a semi-decent level?"
when I was 19 and in military basic training I got strep throat. I put off going to the infirmary because it is very frowned upon. When I finally went I was in a semi-conscious state due to the high fever. the medics pumped me full of drugs and I was still out for 3 days unconscious. That was in my prime of health. now i'm in mid-forties and very far from prime condition.
if that were to happen post event, we have meds to treat the infection, but person may still be incapacitated for some time. if it happens to the group leader (me) and there is no one else capable of assuming the position, we could be in big trouble without the help/protection of others.
some guys dream of being an independent hunter/trapper/gatherer like the old timers did. what they don't realize is these types of men typically died young and alone.
