Maybe I am just getting old and crotchety or maybe it is just stupidity bugs the shit out of me. But the last couple weeks, reading PF and a few of the prepper blogs sites and everybody is freaking out over Coronavirus. Is it a potentially serious problem? Yes. Is it a serious problem in These United States right now? No.
But even more than that, these are self-named, so called "preppers" freaking out about it. If you call yourself a prepper, you are saying to God, the world and everyone (within OPSEC of course) that you and your family can provide for themselves and are good, no matter what. But when a bad cold pops up, you are going crazy because the local dollar store is sold out of Mary Kay Corned Beef Hash in a can?!?! Are you freaking' kidding me?!?
If you are just now heading to the grocery store or the pharmacy to stock up on food and prescription drugs, you are not a prepper; you are a douchebag!
The ENTIRE reason to prep is so you do not have to worry when a real crisis happens and have to stand in insane lines and pay insane prices for life's necessities.
GRRRR!!!!
