    Coronavirus vs. Real Preppers

    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!!!!

    It is bizzare what is going on in the so called "prepper community" regarding this virus.

    I like a site called Modern Survival Blog. The guy who runs it seems like a good dude and has some great info. I didn't post much except when some real douchebags showed their true colors and I got banned for bashing illegals and muslimes (as Slippy)

    Every now and then I post now as Red Dog Master.

    The people on Modern Survival Blog are freakin' infatuated with this virus.

    I feel some preppers want something to happen only so they can feel like a real man or live out some kind of sick doomsday fantasy like a zombie apocalypse .
    there is videos of people claiming its far worse then what it really is and WHO has giving warnings on how had it can turn into.
    cant fine the video on yourtube but some guy claiming to be a scientist has claim that he knows what America and other countries endgame will be if it gets out of control.
    he said that America will shut down to a halt and marshal law will be put in place to burn out the virus etc etc etc yada yada yada.
    I feel the guy sniffs to much glue and the doomsday preppers are going to cream themselves soon a few people pass on here on American soil

    but then again I'm just a moron who dose live by a quote

    On the flip side, perhaps a "scare" like this will turn some people into real, life-long preppers that otherwise wouldn't be.

    Where is the ballyhooed breakout of death and disease anyway? It has had time to get to any and all parts of the Earth; so there should be breakouts in NYC, Chicago and LA. Those cities have colossal airports, and so does Atlanta; so there should be people with the virus in those places.

    This whole thing sounds overblown and bogus.

    The Corona virus is rampant in Iran and the Pope is ill.....for the life of me, I don't see a downside.
