While I do not rule out a mass die off, namely in the major metro areas, or areas with limited water supply (i.e. imagine how Las Vegas will fare in a grid down situation, no water), I intend to see to it that the die off in my area is limited as much as possible.
someone already asked - How?
I'll ask my usual when the subject of sharing comes up - No matter your self sufficiency possibilities - you'll have to be dipping into your stockpile (I envy the prepper with their own pharmaceutical plant) ...
Covid lasted how many months by anyone's count - 16-17-18 months? - remember the initial talk - BAD FLU SEASON
you have a personal stockpile of a year - you start sharing - it's not BS Covid and absolutely everything stops dead - suddenly the "official SHTF forecast" goes from a "couple of months max" to "no end in sight" ....
unless it's a natural disaster - with a very predictable termination >>> Share how much? - Share what? - Share with whom? - How do you stop the flow once you start? - Who's watching your back? ...
breaking your prepping OPSEC is the slipperiest slope around - doing it during a serious SHTF is probably suicide ...
