Read Time:2 Minute, 20 Second

The pandemic began with the mysterious deaths of a few people in Wuhan, China in early December, 2019. Government officials silenced whistleblowers on social media who tried to alert people about the virus. The covid-19 virus was declared a pandemic on March 11, 2020, but I knew it would be a monster long before then.  Covid-19 was named in February 2020, and a pandemic was announced on March 11, 2020.

Because of the lockdown videos I watched, I already knew this virus would be a monster. I was able to see what was going on by collecting information and taking notes. In case you are asked if you are becoming a prepper, you may be considered paranoid or even insane.

I will not become a damsel in distressed. This is why I began prepping.

Don’t Stay In The Dark

In my quest for data on the virus’ trajectory, individuals were posting videos that described the impacts of living under lockdowns.

As I viewed other people’s experiences, I noted what I should do. Therefore, my prepping journey began. No matter what your background is, whether you’re rich or poor, male or female, young or old, when a disaster strikes, your degree of readiness will be what matters most.

You can go a long way in reducing fear, anxiety, and mortality by educating yourself and being prepared.

By educating yourself and being prepared can go a long way to reduce fear, anxiety and possibly the loss of life. 

If you tell someone you’re becoming a prepper, they may think you’re paranoid or even crazy. The truth is that preppers are among the most responsible of people. They’re constantly looking ahead to potential emergencies or disasters and preparing accordingly.

So go ahead and be paranoid or crazy! After the SHTF, it won’t matter if people thought you were crazy.
