"Clearly We Are NOT Doing Quarantining Correctly" Topic

Ever wonder how others are doing in their day-to-day quarantine bunkers?

Some have a plan, and it is much better than the average Joe, or Josephine……….

See here how the one percenters do it in style, AND luxury:

I need a big, zero percent loan to retrofit the local ICBM silo, which is going unused at the moment.

Personally, I'd rather ride things out in some place which didn't advertise so much, but that's the Western ruling class--convinced no one else can read or do an internet search, and that no one in the adjacent town will know about all the food and medical supplies there. I'd also start worrying about how long it will take the armed guards to figure out that money is no good.

Just fix up the silo as you can afford it, Thresher, and don't call attention to yourself.

In the spirit of our recent "coronavirus/Wuhan virus" set-to, am I obliged to fuss about the reference to Dutch courage? Or could we all just let it go this time?

Didn't American Horror Story have a season set in a billionaire bunker?

And, yeah, good point about the guards. Their loyalty had better be based on something other than cash compensation, or eventually it will turn into a guards' bunker with the surviving billionaires learning how to cook and clean.

That would be fun to incorporate into after the Apocalypse game. Forgotten bunker full of off-spring of the uber elite,

Indeed, Eclectic. They're bound to be good eating.

It always surprised me the number of people who never figure out that no thickness of armor or overburden works as well as not being on the target list.

Half-way right, Oberlindes. You want the bunker personnel to be honorable people who owe you big time. But as for keeping discarded billionaires as servants, forget it. You could never trust them--and they're people who don't learn well, anyway. I'd rather wash my own dishes.

Just fix up the silo as you can afford it, Thresher, and don't call attention to yourself.

Try a little post-apocalypse, retro-doomsday, with a bit of Swedish modern thrown in for variety, that is, of course, providing you can find an Ikea store that survived

It is interesting that the Spanish flu pandemic killed 100 million people and yet the world didnt dissolve into dog-eat-dog chaos the way this pandemic seems to be deranging people to buy up masks, toilet paper and to also build silos with the belief that other people will be coming to take their supplies.

Just bizarre.

I am sure these silos were for sale before the pandemic. The really rich are good at inventing interesting ways to spend money. Fends off the boredom of not working no doubt.

Mini – I've been screaming that from the mountaintops since all this nonsense started.

BTW, did they hoard toilet paper then too?

Maybe people were more used to hardships back then. I dont know if toilet paper was hoarded but it was certainly a crappy situation.

Well, that did raise a bit of a stink now didn't it?

@mini and @schwarz

The Spanish Flu compounded the economic and social misery caused by the Great War by killing significant numbers of the most economically useful population – those between 25 and 40.

Nearly an entire generation was lost. There was a reason that the Republic was allowed to cede in IE-1921, the General Strike of UK-1922, the Wall Street Crash US-1929, the rise of the Nazis DE-1931, Subcontinental succession IN-1930s, Stalin's pogroms in Russia and Ukraine, etc, etc.

Heres something on Philadelphia and you'll have to do your own googlingg for St Louis MO for comparison.
