where exactly within that timeline, I have no idea

but we must certainly be much closer now than we were 20 years ago

I saw some of the videos of the Chinese people crying about their loved ones

Yes, those are very heart breaking

These bloody systems

I hope people will FINALLY realise

Africa hasn't learned this lesson yet

true

I think that it will get much worse, before anything gets better

I believe so

It's quite depressing to contemplate, really.

No no no

For the first time, I am actually at peace with this concept

Not nihilistic

at all

I can also kind of understand that, too.

Like Noah building his Ark

Indeed

We will all need to build our own little arks, to survive what is to come.

Agreed

I've been slowly building my little ark over here. Just a few things at a time.

At the 7-minute mark predicts worldwide pandemic in two to three weeks with it peaking in two to three months. So figure on holeing up for 6 months minimum.

I agree, AZ

and that is quite damn spooky to contemplate

6 months of holing up....whew

@Deleted User This is scary

I need much more H20

I only have a few hundred gallons

I need at least 10 gallons per person, per day

I would look into a ceramic filter replacement cartridge and using it with two 5 gallon buckets

agreed

Instead of buying a full-sized water filter

I was contemplating buying some 55 gallon plastic water containers

If I remember right they are called ceramic candles

and building some 2x4 racks to house them and get them up off of the ground

ok

If you can get plastic 55-gallon plastic drums that would work better for water storage

yes, then filter it as you need it

through the ceramic filter setup

or put some drops of bleach into each drum

No I mean use the 55 gallon plastic drums as your clean water storage
