If you can isolate yourself before the outbreak is discovered which depends on incubation times and the development of visible symptoms.

By the way, when you are in TOTAL ISOLATION will you record everything in UPPER CASE?

I expect a large MODERN pandemic to happen more quickly due to modern transport systems but we also have larger populations too, watch for warning signs in the larger cities as this is the more likely places where the effect will be noticed first.

of course, MOST people wont be doing any kind of monitoring news channels of any kind, their more interested in "strikly, deadenders, abomination street, and get me out of here, I'm a z lister" type programmes and will be totally oblivious of any danger, same as they were caught out in the recent floods and power outages. the whole point of being a prepper is to take control of our own destiny not leave it up to someone else.

Between the rapture, 2012, nibiru I'm surprised there is anyone left. I only just survived the war on drugs.

Besides, all this: spending my time listening out for the next disaster would not only be boring but would likely shorten my lifespan with all of the stress it would induce.

Alternatively that is why I won't give myself high blood pressure and a premature stroke by spending my time by listening to the MSM fear machine.

Why survivalist books are so popular today: Neuromarketing has confirmed what every mountebank, insurance salesman and demagogue has known for centuries; fear sells.

re: repopulation. animals will satiate the sexual needs for the first 2 weeks but after that, women will be bought and sold on the open market. for a pack of cigarettes you can get an average looker with an acceptable level of radiation and birthing hips. enough to breed at least 1 fresh survivor.

I'm afraid that unless people wise up to the situation and take control of their own destiny there wont be any future for them, their children and their childrens children.

The interbred children's children?

if you have anything to do with it YES-you've got sex on the brain, talk about a one track mind, you've been banging on about repopulation for days.

Sorry LW but that sounds like 'faith'. "nature will find a way".
It's humans that would need to find a way innit, not yummy mummy nature. The rest of nature would be far too busy getting on with it's own shit.
I wouldn't be wanting to give up my choices by letting nature sort it out. I kind of think we owe it to our ancestors and children to at least try to maintain the species.

Because, of course, dwelling on pandemics and calamities, listening to the news every day for outbreaks and disasters and calling people "sheeple" and foretelling their untimely suffering and death is just so positive. Not to mention declaring ones indifference to it and general antipathy for the human race. You're a real ray of sunshine.

Ahhhh positivity!

Much like many other "preppers" quickly resort to telling people whose opinions differ that they are sheep and fools and that they are going to die horribly.

How would you like it, if I predicted that you were on the verge of a paranoid psychotic episode were soon to be of danger to yourself and others?

You would consider such speculation insulting, cruel and unfair, wouldn't you?

Well guess what?
