RE: Preparation and kooky loony-birds
We'd be pretty much screwed if it happened overnight XD as is we've only just got a crop in the ground and still haven't moved or set up the aquaponics and J still hasn't raided the beehive, at the rate he's going we're just going to have to make sure they don't swarm again (one year he didn't get around to raiding and we ended up with a giant ball of bees sitting on the fence, fortunately we know a beekeeper who came and collected the bee ball).
I also really need to check the consumables/disposables in the first aid kits again and maybe get new bandage scissors (or sharpen mine).
And the white gold jokes are floating around the house and group chats.
I'm not sure what will happen with this virus situation but it's highlighted the need for each household to be more prepared...But I'm pretty sure people will forget over time and go back to their reliant ways.
Just the fact that you have a first aid kit puts you in the better-prepared bracket.
I think there's four ^_^; one in the house (best stocked, worst organised), one in my car, one in my bag and I think there's one in J's car too.
Being "prepared" on top of everything else is a right pain in the system especially on top of everything else so I can see why some people just don't bother when not having water on demand or a supermarket available for topups seems impossible x_x
We live in a society in which everything seems at our fingertips...But in reality it's not the case. It doesn't take much to disrupt supply, and only a little extra strife to disrupt people's ability to obtain essential items. Still, what do I know I guess. I'm no expert for sure. Maybe Uber food delivery bike riders will keep delivering food after all...[This is heavy sarcasm, in case you didn't pick it.]
