How to Survive a Pandemic

Everyone is panicking. People yell at each other and fight alone in a pharmacy, in a shopping mall, spreading chaos. Buses and subway systems have stopped operating, and false information is being distributed faster than the deadly virus that causes chaos. Pandemics are cruel. In the 20th century alone, three outbreaks of flu killed between 50 to 100 million people. In the event of a plague, what can you do to stay alive? How can you survive the deadly outbreak of rapidly spreading disease in large areas? Here's how to survive the epidemic. Being a disaster day prepper has its plans. After all, as Benjamin Franklin once said, an ounce of protection costs a pound of cure. Flu is not the only disease we have ever had. In the last 50 years, we have seen HIV, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), Ebola and the Zika virus. There is a new fear that a hostile country or party may not even be able to learn the cause of the harm, to clear it as a weapon. Pretty scary! It is a doubtful fact that scientific advances in gene editing and gene sequencing have made such horror possible. Bioterrorism has the capacity to kill 30 million people a year, according to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. As a society, let's prepare for woe. As individuals, we must be willing to save ourselves and our loved ones. Due to poor sanitation, long distances, and difficulties in managing mosquitos, diseases spread far and wide. According to Oxford's Global Goods project, a potential pandemic is one of the worst threats that people are facing right now. So, now that you understand how devastating a pandemic can be, what can you do to address this?

Stock up on water and food

It is a good idea to have at least 2 weeks of worth. Buy non-perishable foods that do not need to be cooked or frozen. Hopefully, you are a lover of canned beans, cold soup, and canned ham. The really good news is that in this situation, you can at least feed your junk food addict. the chips do not need refrigeration. As for water, save 4 liters (1 liter) per person, per day. Some of it is drinking, some eating before meals, some about hygiene and sanitation.

Buy a large supply of your prescription medicines

Some flu infections can last for years. If you don't have your meds, that could hurt you even more than it would break, or it could kill you.

Prepare for heat and cold

Make sure you don't rely on modern conveniences like furniture and air conditioning. Get good quality blinds to keep the sun out, and reduce heat buildup, and make sure you have blankets and warm coats for cold weather.

Get a face mask

If you are looking for a very high-quality cool mask, get the N95 respirator, because it stores 95% of the particles. A standard face mask helps, too. Although it does not stop the small particles, it reduces your exposure to waterborne viruses that spread from coughs and sneezes.

Have equipment and supplies for good hygiene

including soap and bandages. Even if your shower is still working, using a washcloth will save a lot of water.

Be prepared for chaos

Contrary to popular opinion, it is not the virus itself that is the worst, but the most frightening behavior of some people. Fear and civil unrest can be dangerous. As society collapses, you can be at risk of anything from domestic attacks, to people who are desperate to try to take your emergency food and water. Stay inside as much as you can, and protect your home with heavy locks. After the plague, your world will certainly be different. You may have lost colleagues, friends or family. Your city will need to rebuild itself. The more you will be satisfied, the better. Food shortages? Grow your own. Even in the apartment. Travel problems? Take your bike. Life may never be the same, but if you follow this advice, you have a better chance of survival.
