Subject: RE: BS: a word to the wise
I, as most other people, probably have enough food in place for a three week siege -- longer if the food was rationed. I have enough bottled water for two people for four days and another hundred gallons available.
Use your head for minute -- during the pandemics of 1957 and 1968 the nation did not collapse, food deliveries did not stop, and essential services continued. Sorry, but I don't depend upon the government of the US or any other country for help in hard times; I learned this back in 1965 fighting floods on the Upper Mississippi.
I also learned that disasters are never as disasterous as the doomsayers tell me they will be.
