The purpose of Poetslife is to promote the art and discipline of American Tactical Civil Defense for families and small businesses and to contribute practical American civil defense preparedness guidance for all Americans through my articles in the The American Civil Defense Association (TACDA.ORG) Journal of Civil Defense and leadership as the volunteer Vice President of TACDA.
I wrote this Civil Defense Strategies for Dealing with the Wuhan Coronavirus post on my Subscribestar account back in February 2020. Surprised how much still applies.

Civil defense strategies for dealing with the Wuhan Coronavirus here.
Note: Toilet paper alternatives may be found here and here. The American National Disaster Medical System is stress tested yearly. It will experience an actual test this year. I have every confidence they will succeed. Here is an easy, simple quiz to see if you are likely to contract Wuhan Coronavirus.
Steve K. Bannon has broadcast accurate information about the
Wuhan Coronavirus from the beginning. Helps he is fluent in Chinese from
his Naval officer days. Source
"The best estimates now of the overall mortality rate for
COVID-19 is somewhere between 0.1% and 1%," Adm. Brett Giroir, Assistant
Secretary for Health at HHS, says. "That's lower than you heard
probably in many reports ... it's not likely in the range of 2 to 3%" Source
Solution to the Toilet Paper Buying Panic Caused Scarcity
All
the people who have panicked and bought out the toilet paper supply at
groceries are not doing themselves or the American community any favors.
But now that they have, we need to address the alternatives to toilet paper that work and are sanitary.
It is too long to go into here, but go to the excellent Provident Prepper lesson here for practical and available alternatives to toilet paper.
We need to stop thinking as individuals and must think as a community!
For
example, get a thermometer! With a thermometer, you can monitor your
temperature to see if you have a fever. If you have a mild cold or flu,
you do not need to go to the hospital.
Call your doctor or
your nurse and tell them about your symptoms. You do not need to
overwhelm emergency rooms if you notice you have a fevor.
In addition, if you are healthy, if you sit in an emergency room for hours you could pick up the virus.
Stop
hording surgical masks! They are needed by health professionals and
those who do have symptoms at the hospital.For current statistics on the
outbreak, see here.
For accurate information on the spread of the Wuhan Coronavirus in plain English from a doctor, see here and here.
As
the steps to prevent any flu, including the Wuhan flu, are widely known
(frequent hand washing, keeping hands away from your nose or mouth,
maintaining a safe distance of at least 3 meters from others, avoiding
crowds, etc.) I will cover two additional steps here:
Purchase and use a real wearable barrier
Purchase and use the antiseptic and disinfectant power of hydrogen peroxide.
Some basic science about the Wuhan Coronavirushere
If you want to build a safety kit to be ready for the spread
of the Wuhan Coronavirus to your area, build a kit that emphasizes
prevention.
And purchase a real wearable barrier to keep the
air borne droplets from landing on you or breathing them in. North
American Rescue (Products With A Mission) has excellent, tested and proven products that provide a barrier between your system and the air borne virus.
You have seen everyone in China using bleach to disinfect,
but that is not always safe or effective. It’s kind of like the surgical
safety masks they are all wearing. They are better than nothing, of
course, but they are not 100% effective.
Instead,
purchase and store bottles of hydrogen peroxide. It is a safe,
inexpensive and effective disinfectant and antiseptic. And it has
multiple prevention uses.
The great advantage of iodine
antiseptics is their wide scope of antimicrobial activity, killing all
principal pathogens and, given enough time, even spores, which are
considered to be the most difficult form of microorganisms to be
inactivated by disinfectants and antiseptics.
I learned the
wonder of hydrogen peroxide working on an anthrax project in 2002 to
clean out anthrax spores in post offices where they had been released. A
British company charged our government an enormous amount of money for a
secret cleaning formula that was mostly, yes, hydrogen peroxide.
Hydrogen
peroxide has so many uses to fight this pandemic. For example, when you
return from the grocery store with fruits and vegetables that someone
who is infected has been near and breathed on, wash them in hydrogen
peroxide when you get home to mitigate the risk of that microbe getting
into your system.
Also, be sure to clean your shopping bags with which you brought home the fruit and vegetables.
“Hydrogen peroxide can work wonders on soothing a sore throat. There
are a couple ways you can do it. You can either gargle a mixture of
hydrogen peroxide and warm, boiled water, or you can dip a depression
stick in 3% peroxide and coat your tonsils.
We all know (unfortunately) that there is no cure for the common
cold. However, the symptoms can be managed and shortened with the use of
hydrogen peroxide. Create a mixture of hydrogen peroxide, salt, and
baking soda then rub inside nasal passages – it will help draw out any
infections and kill bacteria.
As trips to the grocery store may be restricted as in China, you
will need to keep your fruits and vegetables fresh longer. Did you know
hydrogen peroxide can help extend the life of your fruits and
vegetables? Fill your kitchen sink with water and add a quarter cup of
food grade hydrogen peroxide. Soak your produce for 20 minutes, then
rinse and dry. You’ll be amazed how much longer it stays fresh.
Makeup brushes can become a breeding ground for bacteria –
thankfully, they’re very easy to clean. Mix 3% hydrogen peroxide with
water and soak your brushes for approximately 5 minutes. Rinse the
brushes with water then let them dry. Do this once a week for clean,
bacteria-free brushes.”
Cleaning with bleach is effective, but not really safe.
Hydrogen peroxide is just as effective, but safe. Think of it this way.
Would you rather clean your children’s toys in a solution of bleach or
hydrogen peroxide?

The Chinese Flu, developed in a lab financed by the CDC, had multiple impacts on the American people and their life styles.
Let's review just the Chinese Flu impact on the normal American Christian virtues of Faith, Hope and Charity.
As so many Americans have forgotten their Christian Faith, lets also do a brief review the 7 deadly sins, aka mortal sins or capital sins (see Father James Shaffer's article "Understanding the 7 Deadly Sins" below for details).
Hoarders have created shortages where none need exist if Americans keep exercising their usual Faith, Hope and Charity rather than their temporary insane hoarding (due to the 7 Deadly Sins of Pride, Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Anger, and Envy.)
Remember: All the 7 Deadly Sins (ones that can keep you from seeing Jesus, having eternal life, and saving you a space in hell) have a greater impact daily than the Wuhan Flu.
Ever since the Communist Chinese Party unleashed the biologically engineered Covid-19 on the world (they sealed up the Wuhan province but sent 5 million carriers worldwide), Americans have been in a panic.
As just one example, I conducted stress tests of grocery stores for months. after corporate media promulgated mass hysteria hit. I saw it up close. I witnessed the panic in people's faces as they selfishly over bought items they thought would "save" them and their families.
Sadly, they thought physical things could save them from having to engage in Spiritual Warfare. Certain necessary items (like toilet paper, and actually there are alternatives,
People began to hoard in a mass hysteria that was breath taking. They overbought:
Bottled Water
Toilet Paper
Tissue Paper
Cleaning Products
Meat
Milk
Baby Formula
Baby Diapers
Coffee
ETC.
...and now American coins.
STOP THE HOARDING!!!
Instead of Pride, Lust. Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Anger, and Envy
Exercise instead
Faith, Hope and Charity
Take simple holy acts. For example, take the coins you have been hoarding to a bank today and exchange them for paper currency.
Oh, I know, currency is so old fashioned, so un-hip, so non-Silicon Valley, so Redneck...but in an emergency, service providers will always take currency, not bit coin.
And if the CCP explodes a device in space to cause electromagnetic pulse (EMP) to bring down our power grid...you want currency, not make\-believe bit coins.
Consider purchasing the following items to reduce your panic, ease the mass hysteria, and be confident you can handle any disaster, including the CCP's.
WaterBricks - Store the water you will need to have when you need it. You can also build furniture and shelter with them.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church also refers to these sins as “capital sins” and explains why they are the most dangerous. “Vices can be classified according to the virtues they oppose, or also be linked to capital sins which Christian experience has distinguished, following St. John Cassian and St. Gregory the Great. They are called “capital” because they engender other sins, other vices. They are pride, avarice [greed], envy, wrath, lust, gluttony and sloth” (No. 1866).
1.Pride: an excessive love of self or the desire to be better or more important than others. “Respect for the human person proceeds by way of respect for the principle that ‘everyone should look upon his neighbor (without exception) as “another self,” above all bearing in mind his life and the means necessary for living it with dignity’” (No. 1931).
2. Lust: an intense desire, usually for sexual pleasure, but also for money, power or fame. “The God of promises always warned man against seduction by what from the beginning has seemed ‘good for food … a delight to the eyes … to be desired to make one wise’” (No. 2541).
3. Gluttony: overconsumption, usually of food or drink. “The virtue of temperance disposes us to avoid every kind of excess: the abuse of food, alcohol, tobacco or medicine” (No. 2290).
4.Greed: the desire for and love of possessions. “Sin … is a failure in genuine love for God and neighbor caused by a perverse attachment to certain goods” (No. 1849).
5.Sloth (or Acedia): physical laziness, also disinterest in spiritual matters or neglecting spiritual growth. “Acedia or spiritual sloth goes so far as to refuse the joy that comes from God and to be repelled by divine goodness” (No. 2094).
6. Anger or wrath: uncontrolled feelings of hatred or rage. “Anger is a desire for revenge … The Lord says, ‘Everyone who is angry with his brother shall be liable to judgment’” (No. 2302).
7.Envy: sadness or desire for the possessions, happiness, talents or abilities of another “Envy can lead to the worst crimes. ‘Through the devil’s envy death entered the world’” (No. 255
Finding Christmas by James H. Lilley is a great Christmas present for your children. Wholesome, deep love story, full of old American and traditional Catholic values.
Here is a summary. "Wounded in the line of duty and on the road to recovery, Jack Lacey returns with "Pops" his great grandfather to the "old homestead" for the holidays. There he works to restore the family church in time for Christmas Eve and find the spirit of Christmases from long, long ago. When he sees the job ahead as an impossible take, Pops simply smiles and says, "Just have faith and believe in your heart and all will be fine." Yet, he remains skeptical, believing only a miracle will restore the old church in time for Christmas. Early on, he discovers a brazen little church mouse that has him wondering about the magical mysteries Pops told him surround the old homestead. "Oscar" listens patiently to Jack's telling of a fateful day in May that gave him the title of "hero," a title he detests. And, strangely, to Jack it seems that the daring mouse understands. To complicate matters, Julia Atkins, a lovely young woman, has slipped, unexpectedly, into his life and is trying to steal his heart. But, he's determined to resist her efforts. Soon, he's fighting his demons and searching for himself, while toiling in the old church with Julia by his side. When temptation builds to take her in his arms, an old love appears and wants him back."
When General Curtis Le May had B-52's doing eights over the East Coast in 1964, one went down in a blizzard on Savage Mountain, Garret County, Maryland. Yes, this really happened.
