I never heard it would be this month.

It was either this month or next month iirc, and apparently there's some sort of drug they use for the worst cases that helps. but I've also heard that the people in China who were cured are now being reinfected due to the virus mutating

That’s not good

There is no cure, but people who've recovered can be reinfected.

Yeah it's mutating at an alarming rate

I hope everyone stays safe

I’m scared to go to aa meetings

Where is the data that says it's mutating?

People who were cured got reinfected, which could imply it must've mutated in order to reinfect someone who got drugs to cure it

It’s inherent in the nature of viruses to mutate

Does re-infection imply mutation? I'm not a doctor, just asking. I thought you could get re-infected if you didn't develop the anti-bodies

Or does recovering from it mean you did develop anti-bodies?

It’s mutating. The have already identified several strands

I think they might've developed anti bodies, since vaccines are just bits of the virus injected in you so your body learns how to fight them. So it might mean that it mutated and is now reinfecting. I'm nervous about all this, we've stockpiled a lot and I've already been limiting myself to a bottle of water a day to conserve supplies

we're still buying more but it has to last

i lick everything to build antibodies

I fear nothing

I've been eating less, too. It doesn't help since I'm borderline underweight, though

cooldown is cancer, Im out

Yeah, I tried to buy meat today, just for next week, and every store around me had empty shelves in the meat, egg, and milk departments

I'm a gym rat and burn a ton of calories, so when I cut back, it really sucks

Yup, stores are running out quickly. We stocked up just in time. We have 2 refrigerators and 2 freezers filled to the brim with food, 5 cases of water bottles, and 4 additional gallons of water. lots of meat, though. like steak, chicken, a full turkey

All schools in my area have shut down. My school was attempting to remain open, before being mandated by the state. It turns out, college students going to infected areas were returning home with flu-like symptoms.

My school's only closed for a week. I say fuck it, better safe than sorry, close the doors for the rest of the year

The fed also just printed $1.5 trillion dollars. If we have a sustained outbreak that lasts another month, how will we deal with the situation? We can't just keep stimulating by printing.

I fast every day so I’m ready

I know basic bushcraft, and I have a field guide with every edible plant in north america along with a 500 page survival guide. If worst comes to worst I'll just scrape up some food myself

I'm in the suburbs, I'll go live off the trees in the backyard

you can get plenty of food from trees. pinecones are edible, acorns are edible, assuming it's a pine tree, the needles can be used to make tea, sap can make glue or adhesive. hell even the bark of certain trees is edible. just gotta get to the soft, inner bark with a knife or something

Bushcraft is fun as fuck

Bushcraft is like a hobby except actually useful

I'm an aussie, prowrestling faggot and even I bushcraft

Same here brother! Fuck yeah. You got any layouts so far? I'm working towards mine but I've been hoarding tools from my construction job haha

nah, i'm a teen pede :p

No weapons or tools for me. but i know how to make those in the wild anyways

you can make a pretty durable knife from animal bones if you can find them

but i do have my dad's tools, and i have a pocket knife, if it really matters. but i know how to make cough medicine, tea, soap, bandages, and other medical stuff

Haha funnily enough I started in my teens prepping, I've got a space (bought some land) and have been slowly tailoring it. Since you're online now I'm guessing you're an ausfag too? Oh and fuck yeah you can. Bushcraft is beautiful. Have you seen the mud house stuff?

Idk how to make mudhouses yet but i do know how to make other shelters. I know how to make shelter in every environment(rainforest, woods, arctic, and desert.) I'm in the US :P

Tip: Plaintain is your best friend. The leaves of broadleaf plaintain have medical use, when chewed up, the paste can be used to relieve bug bites and small cuts, and when boiled they can make tea or cough medicine. For a basic long term shelter you can really make a nice sized lean to, and fire isn't too too hard if you know where to look

Broadleaf plantain relieves pain and can also heal+prevent infection, so it's pretty useful. They're very abundant so they're not hard to gather either

I'll send you a video brother, and one hundred percent - I'm already growing a small farm up in the land we own, it's been beautiful. Just basic wheat and what not, only enough for maybe 3-6 people but enough. Homesteading is always fun
