LIFE WISDOM

 

CHAPTER II: PREP IT

Being prepared for chaos is something that you should consider a daily priority if you want to live comfortably during a pandemic. In some instances chaos may explode with only minutes notice while others may give you weeks of warning. For example, an asteroid can be discovered weeks in advance but predicting the affected area would cause more damage than the asteroid itself. Predicting a target zone in advance would cause mass panic and extreme chaos. The pandemonium from fear would shut down crucial life baring systems before the asteroid damage. For this reason, the media would never predict the location of a large strike until the last 24 hours. Only the highest people on the pyramid would be notified any sooner.

The highest probability for chaos belongs to a biological pandemic. It has happened many times over recorded history. And it will continue to happen more and more often with the damage being caused to our climate by the human species. One positive thing about a biological pandemic is that most of the world will have plenty of notice to increase their preparations at a safe and calm rate. I recommend watching the Netflix documentary called “Pandemic” to help you understand what happens during an outbreak.

 

The purpose of this chapter is to share how I prepare and live comfortably through these biological pandemics. Some viruses may spread from person to person through pathogens attached to water droplets. This means it can spread faster and further then imaginable through numerous avenues.

The initial strain could be created by the bacteria of two different life forms combining to create a new unknown virus with no working cure. Bats are one of the leading carriers of bacteria. Bats could simply drop their bacteria over produce or seafood at a market. Once that bacteria infested food is eaten or even touched, the next person or animal in contact begins to mix their bacteria with the other two and before we know it, a super flu type of virus is being spread.

It spreads fast and may even spread silently with long delays in symptoms. The region where it first spreads may just think that it is a common strain. It usually takes weeks of testing to realize it has unique symptoms that can not be cured with existing medicine. By the time local experts declare the new virus it will be too late to contain it in that region. Anything that can be spread by breath and infected droplets on a surface will spread similar to a wildfire. People will touch the virus infected droplets and it will attach to their body. The droplets then transfer to ports of entry and enter the blood stream to multiply. You itch your nose and eyes every few minutes on average. You often touch your mouth or touch a glass and then the droplet on the glass touches your mouth for example. A list of how droplets transfer would be several pages long. The further an area is from the origination, the longer the people there will have to prepare. Unfortunately, the disease will travel fast on airplanes and you will not have very long. Large transporters like planes and boats will unfortunately bread the virus to a lot of the people on board.

To minimize the risk of exposure you have to wash your hands after every time you touch something at risk of being infected. You need to spray disinfectant on anything in question. You need to have disinfectant wipes for things that you don’t want to spray or wash. You need a sanitizing gel for situations where you are not near running water and soap. If you have facial hair and refuse to shave it off while in an infected area, you may want to rub sanitizer through it often. You will also want to put Triple antibiotic gel in your nostrils to kill infected spores as they enter.

You do not need to change much about the way you live, you will just need to help remind everyone you know to follow these basic hygiene rules. One of the biggest changes will be your actions around others with weak immune systems. You will need to sanitize your items and hands before entering the personal space of others with high risk. You will also want to drink plenty of electrolytes and take a variety of the immune boosters I discus in the health section of this book. And don’t forget to increase your fitness activities and wellness practices.

When you notice someone questionably ill nearby, avoid them. You can still go out in public but use common sense as noted above. As shown in previous pandemics, most every public event and venue would need to be closed for about 4 weeks to allow the spread to be quarantined. Even those of us who do our best to avoid infection will still have to stay away from public places. No going to work, school, stores, church, concerts or other similar public places for a few weeks to allow the health care facilities time to process the increased traffic of people in critical condition. These public events expose too many people to the virus in tight quarters and many new hot zones are traced back to them.

The businesses that provide services in demand during the pandemic will adapt to meet new health regulations. They will either deliver goods or provide drive up window exchanges. Most businesses will reduce their hours to increase efficiency. Most public spaces like parks, resorts, sport facilities and restrooms will be sealed off.

People showing infected symptoms will struggle to get tested. After the first few days of discovering a community spread, test kits will not be assembled at the same rate of people being infected and people will be refused testing. At first, only those with severe symptoms will be tested and the rest will be instructed to self isolate and treat themselves with increased hygiene procedures and electrolytes. People with pre-existing illness or immune diseases along with the very young and the elderly may not be able to cope with the respiratory symptoms on their own. They will need to occupy a medical bed and breathing machine. If they are too ill to eat or breathe on their own they will need IV drips full of nutrients.

Care facilities will be overwhelmed because there will not be a cure or vaccine for a long time and patients will be continuously cycled in and out of emergency rooms and intensive care units. The majority of US citizens will finally agree that insurance has no right to be involved with health care.

INSURANCE will be the biggest hurdle for treating the sick. INSURANCE will stop care providers from doing their job by declining to pay for treatments.

INSURANCE will force infected people to be refused testing and it will push them back into the community where they will continue spreading the disease. THE REST OF THE WORLD that practices socialized health care will flatten the curve of spread at a much more successful rate because everyone will be tested and treated at a consistent rate.

In locations where there are not enough care facilities, people will be left in their beds praying for home visits. In many cases, these people will be transferred to large facilities and forcefully quarantined from any outside contact. Entrances will be guarded and sealed. People will be examined for symptoms and possibly segregated from loved ones by force. People near death will be removed from the machines before they take their last breathe. The shortage of machines will require it to be this way to allow a higher probability of recovery for those in the early stages of the disease. Just think back to all of the Nazi videos and stories you are familiar with. This is the reality of a biological pandemic.

Tests will be too sparse at first and the lack of people being able to be tested will obscure the true numbers of those infected. This will contribute to the improbability of accurate data to assist in the fight for a cure.
