Prepping for a virus situation

[islandlvng]

“Your personal experience is not relevant”.

But paul’s personal experience on every subject is. Lol. This guy is so full of himself it’s incredible. NARCISSISTIC PERSONALITY DISORDER on full display DAILY.

ALL supplements are a waste of money says Paul. Hand sanitizer while traveling is a waste of time and money. Reporting thieves description is a waste of time says Paul. People are poor and uneducated if they don’t want a buzzing 200’ tower next to their house.

Why all of these outlooks from paulw you may ask? Because Paul is educated and rational and everyone else is........... go ahead and fill in the blank paulWhackjob

Because 5000 posts catering to maybe 10 people on punaweb make him feel so important. Must be terribly lonely living under a rock by yourself for so long. You know there are supplements that help lonely guys right?

The research on certain supplements and why certain people benefit greatly from them is overwhelming. But leave it to Paul to generalize ALL supplements as being a waste because our resident expert Wikipedia keyboard cowboy says so. Hilarious!

So, throw all your supplements away, tell your doctor that recommends CERTAIN supplements to contact our resident supplement expert on why he knows more than medical professionals on this subject.

I’ll tell my wife to throw away her supplements provided by kaiser for her disease because Paul said so. Thanks! We are going to save some money now! Stupid poor ill informed kook doctors. Lmao!

PAULW=NARCISSISTIC PERSONALITY DISORDER. So sad.

So what? Evrybody has different opinions.

Different "wrong" opinions.

Says you!

On the prepping front, word around the campfire-in-the-burnt-and-twisted-wreckage-of-modern-civilization is that Walmart's fever & pain medications are basically all out. Anyone been in there over the last couple days that can confirm or refute?

Healthy people eating normal food have zero need for all those vitamin supplements being pushed by the “health” stores.

About the advisability for supplemental vitamin and minerals.. in an article in Scientific American at..

It would be overkill to say that the carrot you eat today has very little nutrition in it—especially compared to some of the other less healthy foods you likely also eat—but it is true that fruits and vegetables grown decades ago were much richer in vitamins and minerals than the varieties most of us get today. The main culprit in this disturbing nutritional trend is soil depletion: Modern intensive agricultural methods have stripped increasing amounts of nutrients from the soil in which the food we eat grows. Sadly, each successive generation of fast-growing, pest-resistant carrot is truly less good for you than the one before.

A landmark study on the topic by Donald Davis and his team of researchers from the University of Texas (UT) at Austin’s Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry was published in December 2004 in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition...

Walmart's fever & pain medications are basically all out.

I don’t know about Walmart, but the day I shopped at Target last week the shelves were bare of:

TP
Paper Towels (tp of last resort, or keeping the house extra clean?)
All pain medication
Cough medicine (almost all)
Hand sanitizer

People who are quarantined are reporting that things that preserve their sanity like books, board games, cards, etc are more valuable than they would have thought.

I'm counting on plenty of tp, zinc, reishi mushrooms and a kindle library card to see me through.

I've been stocking up the last 2 weeks and am finally happy with my new hoarded cache including vegetable plants. Today at Longs and Walmart one could see many empty shelves, it was definitely the talk of the day so I asked several employees if they were aware of more containers coming or not? Not a one thought there would be a slow down in merchandise and weren't expecting it...instead people are panicking I was told.

It feels like the sea is receding prior to the tsunami. We have no idea how big it will be.

Irrational hoarding just makes things worse for everyone. Prepping implies being prepared, i.e. doing it before a crisis strikes.

PaulW, it's called humor, try it you might like it.
