This virus has a higher death rate then the flu based on the number of cases.

The reason I started this thread was to get the prepping stuff out of the Coronavirus thread. Now y'all are bringing the Coronavirus stuff in here.

I've seen good arguments for both sides of precious metals, gems, etc. Just depends on if you think other people will place any value in them.

In less dire circumstances, metals/gems might be a good option. YMMV

Read some of the stories of survival from the Bosnian war. Toilet paper was gold. Bic lighters, antibiotics, and bullets are up there too.

True, but at the same time, gold/silver/gems can be a barter items that can be traded to someone who already has everything.

Don't forget about condoms/birth control pills, because when the power goes out, you can only read/write for so long....just saying lol

With us being in the digital age, I would also recommend getting a power bank charger that you can charge from both solar and plugging in.

I was talking about your right hand Jill.

Take your right hand, palm/wrist facing down, all fingers extended out. Your thumb and index finger is the letter “J”, middle finger “I”, and the last two fingers are “L’s”.
