Harvard scientist: Coronavirus pandemic likely will infect 40-70% of world this year.
Scary headline but a real one.
So, what can you do to prepare yourself and your family for something like this?
Losing strategy = wait until something like this comes to a theatre near you. Wait too long and you’re screwed.
Winning strategy = do some simple preparation now and if the CDC locks down your city, and you’re stuck, at least you’ll be prepared.
So let’s focus on winning because we’ve all seen enough “Outbreak” types of movies with the empty supermarket shelves. The time to shop is BEFORE it happens folks.
Some simple preparation you can do.
Basic Survival Shopping list (four-week supply on perishables. You’re smart, do the math.)
Most importantly: Have a simple plan in place that all the family knows in advance. Meet here at Y, and do X. The simpler the better.
I’m always surprised by how silly people can be (maybe not after the behavioral classes at Harvard by professor Boris). We’ll spend more time planning a Disney vacation for our family, or a trip to the Greek islands than we do preparing a simple survival plan and spending a few hundred dollars at the store for our family in case of a natural disaster or worse.
I hope this helps. I can now personally divert the calls from my mom, my friends, and family and point them to this article. So I definitely had my own selfish interest in mind when I wrote this. Time management 101.
If you appreciated these tips please share this post. And remember, a little preparation now, goes a long way for when it matters.
