AMERICA! We have a Global Health Emergency. We are under severe attack of the Novel Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). An opponent that is unknown to mankind. We are not immune to COVID-19 and there is no cure. This virus has infiltrated over 50 countries. We, as citizens of the world must take this virus seriously before it gets out of control and becomes a global pandemic. I am not writing this to scare you. I want you to think about it as “What if! What if this is worse then what they are reporting. What if COVID-19 is worse than the Spanish Flu. Take a moment to watch this video with your family to understand what we could be facing. Unfortunately, the US government has no idea on what to do.
The COVID-19 can easily be spread. “CDC believes at this time that symptoms of COVID-19 may appear in as few as 2 days or as long as 14 days after exposure. This is based on what has been seen previously as the incubation period of MERS-CoV viruses.”
So, let me get this straight! During the incubation period, you are contagious and you don’t know that you have the virus until you become sick. What The Hell! On top of that CDC says, “It may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes, but this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads.”
Let me break it down to you on how I see this virus as a worse scenario. If the virus can live on surfaces from merchandise manufactured in China. The merchandise could have been made, touched and packaged by someone who was sick and didn’t know it. That merchandise is then packed on planes, trucked to ports and loaded onto cargo ships to be exported around the world. Once the merchandise has reached its destination, those packages are then unload, transport and delivered to their distribution centers, grocery stores, restaurants, hardware stores, home improvement, furniture, retail stores and to your doorstep. Just imagine how many sick people may have come in contact with the merchandise and unknowingly spread COVID-19 to the general public. That’s just one of my crazy scenario’s. Am I crazy? No, I think not.
I want you to think about it this way, if China has quarantined its whole country of 1.4 Billion people. What do you think they will do here in the United States? It’s time to start thinking about the possibility of contracting or someone you know contracting this virus and prepare for it. There is a possibility that this virus could get out of control. If that happens, we must be prepared before we are forced to quarantined under federal mandate. So, prepare now by adding these items to help prevent the spread of the virus. These are some Pandemic Survival items I added to my Every Day Carry Bag.
BASIC PANDEMIC KIT
Pain and Fever medications
Anti-Diarrhea medicine
N95 Mask
Antiviral Tissues
Antibacterial Wipes
Goggles (Swim goggle are the best)

In addition to the list above, stock your home with supplies and food just in case you have to self-quarantine. Be prepared. Just in case. Take a look at this video.
