– Here Are Some Suggestions That Might Make The Difference Between Life And Death

It was never clear why everyday Americans looked at those that believed in prepping for survival as if they were crazy, other than the establishment media’s attempts at every turn to present preppers in that manner. No one calls those that have car insurance, crazy. No, they call them law abiding citizens preparing for a possibility of a car accident. Same with home insurance, health, etc…..

Even ordinary Americans that shop once a week in order to feed their families throughout the next week without running to the store everyday, are in fact, prepping. They are simply doing it in far smaller amounts and to last less time than those prepping for long-term survival.

With that said we are seeing a number of countries across the globe as well as certain states within the U.S. that are discovering the benefits of having a stockpile of food and basic necessities, discovering all of this because they became scared as the news of the COVID-19 coronavirus has spread, much more slowly than the virus itself.

While fear may be a powerful motivator to start prepping, it is also self-defeating to wait until the last minute, then decide “Oh my, I need stuff before the shelves are empty,” because by that time, many of the shelves will already be empty, as shown in a few images below. from Business Insider taken from social media users showing store shelves emptied.

Panic is never a good thing and panic shopping pretty much guarantees you get the left-overs, and most likely what is left are things that won’t be very helpful if you and your family decide to self-quarantine or simply hunker down until the worst has passed.

Here is one of my favorites, where  some random Twitter user, Chris H, snarkily blames the Trump administration because clueless Americans that didn’t have the sense to be preparing even in a limited manner, well…. ever, decided to panic shop and buy up all the N-95 masks.

Nothing like avoiding responsibility for your own inaction and lack of foresight.

Yes, in his little, tiny, Trump Derangement Syndrome infected mind, it is the Trump administration’s fault that Americans, woefully unprepared, got scared into preparing by the coronavirus and ran out and emptied the store shelves.

The Business Insider article has a lot of social media images and commentary, so head over and take a look.

We note that in one case, the images of emptied shelves came from an area where the user claims is three hours from a  major city. Images are coming from one end of the country to the other. Items the stores are running out of include everything from cold and flu medications, to toilet paper, and especially face masks. Stores mentioned include Target, CVS, Home Depot, Rite Aid, Walgreens and more.
