What we Mean when we say CoVid-2019 is Like the Flu

The Survival Podcast Posted on March 11, 2020 by Modern SurvivalMarch 12, 2020

As you read this article I would like you to consider a few things about me as the source of this information.  If you look at the top of this website you will see it is called The Survival Podcast.  If you are new around here this is a 12 year old two time winner of the “Podcast of the Year Award” with almost a quarter million daily listeners.  I teach and have taught preparedness for over a decade now.  If I was out for pure self interest, the best thing for me right now would be to hype this … Continue reading →

Today we are not really going to talk about CoVid-2019 directly but more what it has exposed as weaknesses in the United States, what we should learn from it, why we likely will not and what that means you should do.  Hint on the last one, what you should do is mostly what I have said you should be doing for about 12 years now. The truth about CoVid-2019 is that it is not nothing but it is nothing like what it is being made out to be.  It is a respiratory virus and every year we have many such … Continue reading →

Episode-2349- Doc Bones and Nurse Amy

Please Note – the following write up on Doc Bones was written by Doc Bones himself.  Not sure if he was daring me to run it with the show, but if so, don’t dare me to do shit, I likely will do it. Joe Alton is an old so-and-so who thinks he knows what he’s talking about, even while drooling on his shoes in his rickety rocking chair. He somehow has held on to his medical license for decades despite extreme views on medicine, politics, religion, and the quality of various brands of light beer. Occasionally, he puts pen to … Continue reading →

Episode-1442- The Reality And The Hype of Ebola

Today we will look at the Ebola situation and discuss prepping for epidemic/pandemic in general.  I have received so many emails expressing concern and fear about Ebola, I must do this show. The reason I have hesitated isn’t because we can’t learn from this situation.  It also isn’t because it poses no threat to the US at all.  Nor is it because Ebola isn’t a terrible disease.  No it is simply that there is so much hype, fear and bullshit going on about Ebola that I don’t want to add to it in anyway!  So perhaps I can mitigate it … Continue reading →

The real threat of pandemic disease if honestly startling.  In spite of the recent H1N1 (swine flu) no event the pandemic threat is always with us.  Today’s show has a mountain of scientific facts and figures that should drive home the reality of how ominous this threat to survival really is. Join us today as we discuss… Pandemic vs. Epidemic The probability, impact and commonality of pandemic and epidemic How real the threat is A true scientific consensus Why the Spanish flu in 1918 seems to have killed so many healthy people The speed of mutation at the viral level … Continue reading →

I have been getting a ton of questions, comments and concerns about a possible swine flu pandemic this fall so I thought it was time to revisit the subject.  It may interest you to know that officially right now there is a swine flu pandemic. Seriously the world health organization declared it long ago. So what is coming, what can we expect from the media, from the flu itself, is it over blown, is it a real concern, what is the deal?  Tune in today to get the facts as I see them, you opinion may differ, if so please … Continue reading →

Today we will continue to talk a bit more on swine flu or more accurately what is starting to look like a massive overreaction by government.  Our larger topic though is going to be about a simple question… In a survival situation which response is better, a swift instinctual response or a well planned logical response? With that in mind today’s show notes are very brief just tune in and hear my take on this question along with an interesting story about what I learned when I coughed (more accurately cleared my throat) at Starbucks recently.  Another quick question what … Continue reading →

Today we discuss the recent events around the H1N1 variant of swine flu currently on every radar screen from local news to the CDC.  Is the big pandemic finally here?  Don’t get ahead of yourself there is a real risk of epidemic or even pandemic here there is also a large probability that this will end up being a non event and overreaction may be worse the the flu itself. Today we discuss.. This is an H1N1 and so was the Spanish Flu but these are not the same Have you found holes in your preps because this has made … Continue reading →
