China Virus Threat 2020

[Straight Shooter]

One person in isolation suspected Coronavirus next village down from us 1.8 miles away .....awaiting test results , this person is ill....IF you hold your money in a bank , get it out while you can just in case , if nothing happens ...then just put it back again .....what ever ! Do not hang about.....at this rate of decline you may not get any of your funds .

don't worry about money, this virus is going to play havoc with the supply chain a few months down the line.
yes take some money out of the bank but don't hold onto it, spend it on stocking supplies, money will be no good when there is nothing to buy with it.

I guess the biggest question is whether this is all going Tango Uniform
or whether it can be controlled. I'm not betting on it being controlled so am preparing
for lockdown for a couple of months. Im not prepared for 6 months but lets see.

Life is going to more difficult if elec and gas supplies hit

The only thing Im short of is water

need to address that tomorrow

[Straight Shooter]

RS get yourself a BERKEY water filtration set up (if you have not got one already) there is a basic one on AMAZON for £109.99 ...and go up to 2,3,4 hundred quid , but its filters for what you want ?...the basic one comes with filters so you are ready to go ...have a read up first.

[River Song]

thanks SS

Yeah I already got one with two filters in a few years ago. I think I paid around 65 for it then.

The question is that I have no stream or river to get water from im the first place.
Guess I am going to have to use a rain barrell from the roof

Although I may go to Lidl and get a couple hundred litres - at 17p per 2 litre bottle
its not too much

I think we all know now that it’s not if but when it comes.

Most of us preppers are well set up for isolation or a lockdown should it’s needed, but now the sheeple are waking up due to all the publicity on line and on television.

They are now starting to panic buy, they grab everything they can without any idea of a balanced plan. This will create shortages and make difficulties for everyone.

my local Tesco out of stock on ibuprofen, generic Paracetamol, Hand Gel, Toilet rolls are in short supply, give it a few more days and when the panic really gets going, I can see customers fighting in the aisles

[Straight Shooter]

The when IS here Pete ! we are being drip fed right now in a attempt to calm things down.....panic buying will be on steroids by next week (mid march) , lock down will be inevitable and unavoidable for most preppers at least …..I/we are 75% there right now ! as from this Friday we believe we will be in full lock down ….not even close family will be allowed any close contact ….or anyone else come to that …...busy with counter measures around and about the house and ground....all completed by Thursday , no more shops needed for a while …..locked n loaded !

[Pete Grey]

Today India has banned the export of several drugs including paracetamol, some antibiotics, antiviral drug acyclovir and some vitamins.

Our shopping habits have changed, no weekly shop, if we pass a useful shop we go in, every day, there will always be something we can top up on.

With the first case in our area we are in lockdown, and that’s it

[Straight Shooter]

Here we go Already ! Prescription shortages ! We collected our scripts over ten days ago ....wild child was short of one item and told to call back....we called in this morning and were told still out of stock ....we asked can we get it else where ? NO it’s the manufacturer ,you will not get it anywhere ...we have tried they said , we now await a telephone call from her doctor to see what the alternative is going to be.
