MERS-CoV

[Matt In Oklahoma]

A real non political threat that cares less who you are, what you have or what you believe. If that isn't scary then I don't know what really is. So what do you do and where will you be when it does spread?

This is still hanging around and there is more and more scuttle floating around partially because folks love a good rumor mill and partially because they are trying to keep it quiet which is never good.

It is never what you see but what you didn't that gets you

This is something we have discussed not only for this disease but several others as well. If/when this jumps to human transmittal in our highly mobile world it will be days at most before the majority of the coastal population are exposed and then weeks, tops, for the others. This is not a long time to get thru the OODA loop and have your stuff in order.
It boils back to having the basic needs for at least a few weeks such as shelter, food, water, security, medical etc. backed by training and practice and well just see my sig line.
It goes deeper than this however in that YOU must make the choice to remove yourself from public in a timely manner before the spread. That means kids don't go to school, you don't go to work, you don't go to church, you don't go period. Dig in like a starvin tick on a fat dog

Remember 9-11? While everyone was watching tv I was deep into implementing my full plan within 45 minutes of the 2nd hit.
The next day gas shot up, guns emptied off the shelves and survival supplies dwindled rapidly right LD3?
That lull is when you must act for survival. If you hear/see this disease on tv then you are in that moment where you will either act or be at risk.
I feel for those working at hospitals, responders and clinics because as bad as that skill is needed it is also at the higher risk categories and usually makes it harder to talk those people into removing themselves as dedication is a priority to them. You must talk about it now and decide.
The risk to us isn't so much now when muslims embark on their journey to the homelands, instead it will be when they return so watch closely at that time frame. A purposeful spread is always a possibility too.

No known cure: So what in medical do we need to stock on? IMO it is facemasks, handsoap, rubber/latex free gloves, motrin, asprin, tylenol, rehydration products, the one time use ice packs that you pop and soft ice packs pre-frozen, popsicles and jello/soups.
Plastic sheeting, tape and possibly tyvex suits and protective masks with a thought plan on isolation for anyone in the family that might have been exposed. Scary stuff huh!?!
For those with the skill only, IV bags and kits. Yes I am aware that if you were to use them it constitutes illegally "practicing medicine" if you stick someone but we are talking extremes only. I'm not telling you to break the law but I'm also not telling you to watch your child die while an overloaded ER room with more exposure awaits either. Again you must decide, now, not later.

I would love to hear more from others on this especially those with skills in medical because I know I'm not that smart and value quality input.
