God and germs

I’m sure we’ve all heard the saying, “God and germs are everywhere, so say your prayers and wash your hands”. That saying has never been so real until now. I don’t think anyone has made it through these last couple months without hearing about the coronavirus. It’s amazing how a microscopic cell is rattling the world. People arguing if the flu or coronavirus is worse, fighting over toilet paper, panicking, or ignoring everything about it.

Here’s the thing, there’s no right or wrong way to handle this. If buying toilet paper makes you confident to handle whatever comes, then who am I to tell you not to? If ignoring it’s existence helps you, I am proud of you for having that kind of willpower.

I keep seeing, “but whhhhhy all the tp?!” We’re told to prepare for a MINIMUM of a 2 week quarantine. 2 weeks for my family is about 18 rolls. But what if it’s not 2 weeks, it’s the whole 28 day incubation period? Now we need 36 rolls. 36 rolls seems like a lot to some people, but to a “large” family, it’s just a months supply (something I encourage everyone to work towards… new post for prepping?) Either way, if you didn’t get the tp, diapers, wipes, whatever, when you had the chance, don’t get mad that the opportunity is gone, nobody stopped you weeks ago. And if people are buying it just because they can, maybe they thought ahead and want it for trade value if shtf? Remember, Noah built the arc before the rain came.

In the end, we all just want to get through this alive in the most comfortable way possible. Say your prayers and wash your hands ❤
