Well
That comports with what I’m hearing from my old job. A city with 8700 residential and 500 commercial
Utility turnoffs for late or no pay averaged about 35 a month for residential
Now it’s up nearly 200 a month

His latest keeps mentioning cat food shortage. That makes me a nervous wreck. However, I'm not really seeing it on Chewy. Only inflation. I'm starting to feel like I'm falling for a giant scam. It is certainly to Chewy's benefit and Amazon to perpetuate the rumors of shortages.

Slight thread drift here:

I don’t really know how bad the cat or dog food shortage is but my backup plans are to go the way of homemade diets… there are lots of recipes on the internet now, veterinarian formulated…

For example:
www.hepper.com

10 Homemade Cat Food Recipes Every Cat Will Love | Hepper

Your cat will love any of these amazing homemade cat foods! Choose your favorite ingredients & we'll deliver your cat's ideal recipe.

Dr Becker on YouTube has great videos on homemade cat food (both cooked and raw).

I think it might be wise to put away canned chicken and other ingredients for homemade pet meals if pet food disappears (we are already stocking this food for ourselves) or if you have a freezer, raw meat. And if doing this, make sure to include taurine and a good vitamin supplement.

I have already started doing this with my boy since he refuses to eat commercial cat food.

Every point Dave makes here is valid....

But as a resident of Memphis, TN, my most immediate comcern is what is going to happen tonight. This weekend.

In my own community. And quite possibly yours too.

I have, over time, prepped the best I could for whatever.

This afternoon, I went out to buy several more cases of bottled water.

Other than that, I am prepped to try and ride out the storm.

That is the best I can do.

It's the best any of us can do my friend. It's all in the Lord's hands at this point.

WHO updates critical medicines list for radiological and nuclear emergencies​

27 January 2023
Departmental news

Reading time: 3 min (882 words)

The World Health Organization (WHO) today updated its list of medicines that should be stockpiled for radiological and nuclear emergencies, along with policy advice for their appropriate management. These stockpiles include medicines that either prevent or reduce exposure to radiation, or treat injuries once exposure has occurred.

“In radiation emergencies, people may be exposed to radiation at doses ranging from negligible to life-threatening. Governments need to make treatments available for those in need – fast,” said Dr Maria Neira, WHO Acting Assistant Director-General a.i, Healthier Populations Division. “It is essential that governments are prepared to protect the health of populations and respond immediately to emergencies. This includes having ready supplies of lifesaving medicines that will reduce risks and treat injuries from radiation.”

Key highlights​

  • This publication supersedes the 2007 WHO report on the development of national stockpiles for radiation emergencies. It includes updated information on the stockpile formulary based on the developments in radiation emergency medicine in the last decade.
  • It provides policy advice for acquisition of drugs which can prevent or reduce radionuclides uptake or increase elimination of radionuclides from the human body.
  • It looks at the main elements required for developing, maintaining and managing the national stockpiles of specific medical supplies which will be required for radiological and nuclear emergencies.
  • The report looks at the role of national health authorities in stockpile development as well as the role of WHO. As the leading international organization in public health with both the authority and responsibility to assist in health emergencies, WHO provides advice and guidance to countries on public health preparedness and response to radiation emergencies, including stockpile development. In health emergencies WHO may assist in procuring or sharing medical supplies among countries.
  • This report includes a brief review of selected emerging technologies and drug formulations, including potential repurposing of products previously approved for other indications.
  • Finally, the publication provides examples of practices in establishing and managing a national stockpile in selected countries, namely Argentina, Brazil, France, Germany, Japan, Republic of Korea, Russian Federation and USA.
“This updated critical medicines list will be a vital preparedness and readiness tool for our partners to identify, procure, stockpile and deliver effective countermeasures in a timely fashion to those at risk or exposed in these events,” said Dr Mike Ryan, Executive Director of WHO’s Health Emergencies Programme.

Typically, a national stockpile for all-hazards health emergencies would include generic supplies and materials used for any type of emergencies, such as personal protective equipment (PPE), trauma kits, fluids, antibiotics and painkillers. This publication includes only specific drugs which are known and licensed today to prevent or treat human over-exposure to radiation.

Radiological and nuclear emergencies may result in exposure to radiation doses high enough to lead to severe health consequences or even death. It is therefore extremely important that governments respond rapidly to such threats. Many countries, however, still lack the essential elements of preparedness for radiation emergencies, according to annual reporting to the WHO Secretariat.

Potential scenarios considered in the publication include radiological or nuclear emergencies at nuclear power plants, medical or research facilities, or accidents during transport of radioactive materials, as well as intentional uses of radioactive materials with malicious intent.

Components of a pharmaceutical stockpile for radiation emergencies​

This publication focuses on pharmaceuticals for treating radiation exposure and addresses the governance and management of such a stockpile. A typical radiation emergency stockpile will include the following medicines:
  • Stable iodine, administered to prevent or reduce the exposure of the thyroid to radioactive iodine;
  • Chelating sand decorporating agents (Prussian blue, applied to remove radioactive caesium from the body and calcium- / zinc-DTPA used to treat internal contamination with transuranium radionuclides);
  • Cytokines used for mitigation of damage to the bone marrow, in case of acute radiation syndrome (ARS); and
  • Other medicines used to treat vomiting, diarrhoea and infections.
Emerging treatments and countermeasures also discussed in the report give insight to the future medical countermeasures that could be used for managing patients overexposed to radiation. In particular, studies identifying new cellular and molecular pathways and means of administrating drugs may be exploited for novel treatments and new products for use during a radiation emergency.

Emergency preparedness, response and recovery saves lives​

Coordination of local, national and international responses is essential for a harmonized response to radiation emergencies. As the agency responsible for guiding healthcare interventions globally, WHO provides advice and ensures access to medicines and health services for countries that are developing national capacity for preparedness and response to radiation emergencies.

More information​

WHO’s global expert network, REMPAN​

WHO’s global expert network, REMPAN (Radiation Emergency Medical Preparedness and Assistance Network), is an important asset of the Organization for implementing its work on providing technical guidance and tools for response, delivering activities for building capacity through education and training, and on promoting international cooperation and information-sharing between the members of the network and the professional community in the field of radiation emergency medicine.

WHO is a member of ICARNE, the Inter-Agency Committee on Radiological and Nuclear Emergencies, which provides the coordination mechanism between 20 international organizations with relevant mandates. Members of IACRNE develop, maintain and co-sponsor the Joint Radiation Emergency Management Plan of the International Organizations (JPlan 2017). The JPlan describes a common understanding of each organization’s roles in making preparedness arrangements and during a response and recovery.

It is going to be almost impossible to survive what is coming. Many will die.​

...think maybe he needs to dial back the doom a smidge.

Directional antennae do exist, but the idea that they will be pointed in his direction at just the right time to overhear him talking about his cow is a shot so long it pretty much requires the hand of God to intervene and make it happen. And if God wants your cow stolen, it's stolen.

edit: Oh, yeah, and does anyone see the logic fail that is "I don't want to depress you" in the middle of a video that's literally titled "Many of you will die."? I think the poor schlub is realizing that all those times he said "Just do it" and "Put back something" to his audience are woefully inadequate. Even his own preps are woefully inadequate.

And of course, this is why people routinely died at the age of 40.

Really have to take this latest video in the context of what he has been saying now for many years. He is a brother in the Lord for sure. He has been prepping his whole life. The past ten years he has been actively warning and informing people online.

He is usually very positive and encouraging, but the recent challenge of birthing a calf, combined with some recent soul-searching has led him into the dark realization that he shares on this latest video. A whole lot of people are going to die. No way to sugarcoat it. Even we preppers are in for a world of hurt.

I thought it was very poignant and honest, especially his realization that he may not be able to share as much with his needy neighbors as he would like because his immediate family will need it.

Picture yourself watching your neighbor’s kindergarten kid dying of starvation…. That’s where Dave/Southern Prepper 1 was mentally when he filmed this one.

The very uncomfortable reality is that alot of us could be faced with the reality:

hide what we have to have a better chance of our own family surviving while watching others die,

or share what we have with others and watch our own family starve to death sooner.


There is no good answer to that dilemma.


But Dave is in a real bad situation.

He has been so open about his prepping. You and I might be able to fly under the radar - at least for a time - but he is right there, front and center.

I think he has known his increased vulnerability for quite a while, but only with the developments of the last few weeks has he really come to grips with the fact that he has a huge target drawn on his back, and not only might his preps not save them, but they might actually be putting his family in greater danger.

Honestly, while you could see he was driven by real fear tonight, I also think there was a covert message hidden in that video: don’t come here folks, because I WILL take care of my family first!

Will that keep hungry hoards from heading out to his farm?

Probably not. And he knows it.

Which is why you see the genuine, deep seated fear in his message tonight.

Just my opinion, of course.

Doesn't the Bible tell of many who die.......? Doom is going to show up

I'd say we need to be concerned with the hordes that get free food, when that dries up......
