Zombie Squad

I was just giving an example of road closures in Maine, in reference to my statement in the first paragraph of my post, about the outbreak in the nursing home.

Sorry if that was misleading. The reporting on the vigilante driveway closure on Vinalhaven Island hasn't included pictures. Yet.

My beer arrived! It's not as exciting as you might think, a translucent plastic can full of, well, slightly foamy brown beer. It has a label stating the contents but other than that it could be a gallon of motor oil. The paperwork states "consume within three days of opening" and as you know I'm a ...

Maine 3/29/20. 253 cases. Seems to be increasing by about 12 new cases each passing day. Still very low numbers comparatively, although the death toll tripled over night from one to three. Localized outbreak reported in at least one nursing home. All non-essential businesses are pretty much closed. ...

I was shocked to find plenty of toilet paper in my local Walmart today. None in the paper goods aisle, mind you, those have been completely bare for weeks. I was in the automotive section and stumbled on multiple packages in the RV supplies aisle. Now the RV specific TP is about 3 times as expensive...

UK national status: 17089 confirmed cases (+2546), 1019 fatalities (+260), 135 patients recovered (no change to official figure). Hampshire local status: 384 cases (+67). Birmingham still leads with 428, Sheffield is catching up with 361. The medical director of the NHS was on TV earlier, as part o...

Anyone else live alone and find themselves working from home for the first time? It's an odd experience; hours stretching into days without human contact. It reminds me a bit like 9/11. I was married then, had a wife and young daughter to look after and, frankly, to share the experience with. But st...

. Other than the once-a-week grocery run and taking perishables to my elderly in-laws up the road, not much exciting happening. Hoping to keep it that way. Yep, this is pretty much what I expected for a major crisis. It might start out exciting, but once things settle down, it's generally long peri...

I went somewhere last night after work, too ashamed to say where, or for what ... But the store limit was 10, and the line up was over an hour long, everyone 6-8 feet apart. It's alright. You can say "condoms" on this forum. ;) Seriously, I expect a bump in births in 8-10 months. Really? :shock: Th...

I just realized that there's a word missing from the thread title. Hmmm... To fix it or not to fix it?

"do" or "do" not. There is no try.

I, ah, gassed up the car again even though it was only down a quarter of a tank. No evidence I can see that any kind of fuel shortage is in the offing. But I'm just anxious in general lately and keeping the car topped off seems to help. It would be a distribution failure if that were to happen, not...

Maine now has 118 cases, with 12 hospitalized. I just heard a frightening statistic from the state's director of disease control today. He admitted that there's a backlog of 1300 tests that are pending results. Apparently there is a critical shortage of some re-agent needed to complete the tests. In...

I've been part of this place for a very, very long time. Haven't checked in a while though, so thought I'd just stop in. To all the newcomers; you're reading one of the coolest disaster preparedness groups across the entire internet. Some of you were probably newly born when this place was created....

Or a high profile sporting championship.

World Heavyweight Tag Team Fight for Survival

I want to get a belt made to such effect now. Thanks.

Welcome back, Phil. Great advice all around.

And I'd say your new profession is going to be very much in demand in the coming weeks and months.

Maine added 18 new cases overnight, now up to 107. The director of our state CDC noted that 89 was the total number of cases in the United States as of 3/1/20. Five of those are hospitalized, one is fully recovered. I strongly suspect that my medically quarantined friend is also Coronavirus positive...

The Alabama Department of Public Health is reminding people to only call 911 for emergencies. Do not call 911 for information on coronavirus, if you need ride to the doctor’s office or have mild symptoms or want to get tested for COVID-19. :roll: Area hospitals are now begging supplies so that they...

The Urban Prepper has a good video focusing on what you can still do now to deepen or [*choke*] start your COVID-19 preps. Several nuggets in there that I hadn't thought of and found very useful.

What are your looking to do with this dual sport once you get to the cabin? What kind of off road riding are you planning on?

Maine 3/22/20. Now up to 89 confirmed cases. Volunteers are now sewing surgical face masks at home to help address the critical shortage of PPE for medical personnel. This is shaping up to be a textbook case for how unprepared a state can be to deal with a pandemic.

Breast feeding is awesome. This is difficult for working mom's, but I have seen moms really tackle the issue and make it a priority. WG's post is excellent, top to bottom. Just focusing on this one part because beyond saying "Everything Woodghost said" I can only echo: breast is best for so many re...
