Right on the cusp of that SHTF event that we\u2019ve been prepping for all these years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A global pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A breakdown in the supply chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shoppers who are already becoming agitated and even violent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019re watching it all unfold in our hometowns and across our nation right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet, somehow, it still doesn\u2019t feel real to me. Is it just me who finds this hard to fathom? Am I the only one who still thinks doubtful thoughts? Like \u201cNo way. It\u2019s going to be okay. You\u2019re overreacting. It\u2019s a little scare, just like Ebola and MERS and SARS.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019ve researched and written about this stuff for years. I always knew it could happen. I was whole-heartedly convinced of these possibilities and yet when this situation began to move irrevocably toward disaster, I find myself, somehow, shocked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I can\u2019t be the only one who has prepared for this yet still feels stuck in normalcy bias, thinking \u201cthis isn\u2019t going to get as bad as you think\u201d even as I watch the events unfold around us pretty much like we in the survival community always predicted. There\u2019s still that doubtful voice in my head, making me wonder about spending even more money on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theorganicprepper.com\/selco-covid19-work-with-what-you-have\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">another \u201clast\u201d shopping trip<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Heck, maybe this makes me a bad prepper. A fake survivalist. A fraud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Or maybe it\u2019s only natural to think that life will keep moving on pretty much like it always has.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Will Covid-19 really be the thing that brings us down? Will the nation devolve into chaos?\u00a0I\u2019d like to say no with firm conviction.\u00a0After all, there have been close calls before. But the rational part of me won\u2019t allow that firm conviction, despite the part that says, don\u2019t be silly, everything will be just fine after a brief blip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2026click on the above link to read the rest of the article\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The S*** Is Actually Hitting the Fan But Somehow It Doesn\u2019t Feel Real So here we are.
