How would you survive a pandemic?Isolation would be the only answer!More worrying in the Yellowstone eruption in 2weeks time according to an expert.,which is said to be a bigger threat to mankind.

[SamTheGreenCat]

But I suppose a huge eruption and a breakdown in public service could cause a pandemic,who knows?

Hi Sam
"Isolation" is indeed the only "ultimate" answer but if your're the last man standing then you're only going to survive to the end of your lifetime and the human race is done for. Better to seek to survive with others who can (if you feel necessary) be quarantined!

For "survival" I think we have to look beyond the individual and seek survival for the human race itself.

A Yellowstone eruption of the kind envisaged by you would not necessarily cause a Pandemic, although the fall out would of course be massive. The breakdown of public service would be likely to lead to chaos and anarchy - all matters which need to be guarded against and prepped for.
Cheers Christoph

Great - thanks Charles. Very useful.

Welcome. Thanks for the information.

Yellowstone may be more worrying but Pandemic is more likely imo. It could happen any time. Regardless it is a risk we should be mitigating as much as possible. I can't mitigate Yellowstone I can only prep for surviving its effects and that prepping is already done under other risks.

[Christoph Shepherd]

Yes - we are now overdue for the next Pandemic. Is is not a question of "if" but "when".

Hello and welcome CS , yes I keep an eye on this (amongst other stuff ) .

[Christoph Shepherd]

Indeed. We'd all be much poorer without a sense of humour.
