A drill? Perhaps….but something has my hair standing on end. So a drill is in order….just in case.
I have been “on vacation” from flu stuff but some recent posts have me paying attention.
Time for our family to have a bit more vigilance, we need to tighten up tour preps - IOW do a real good grocery shop in order to augment what little we have been able to store up in this economy, fill the water bottles that we have on hand, and keep our personal protection ready and available at all times (hand sanitizer and masks). Time for heightened hygiene I think too. Lax hand washing habits, public drinking fountains, and not drinking out of the can for sodas and such. I admit, I have grown a bit sloppy while taking my little hiatus. Time to get back to good habits.
A drill? I sure hope so. But we can’t wait to react after the start of the trouble - we must be proactive. Since we can’t know if the time is now or will come ten years from now…..so a drill, time for a drill.
