part of my reply was not posted......what I said was, 1000 times more people in those countries die from war, starvation, AIDS, machetes and a variety of other ways compared to ebola.......and for some reason no one can show how ebola is a threat that should even cross your mind....and I'm a conspiracy theorist for simply stating there is no threat to any of us from ebola.....
 
what are you talking about?
if you don't want to prepare for something-DONT! just don't come on a prepper site and tell everyone else their idiots for prepping for something just because you don't believe in prepping for it.

Never called anyone an idiot.....don't start putting words in my mouth......
 
For Freddies sake! Give it a rest mate. You've taken this EMP topic off the reservation.
 
My final comment on the Ebola issue was over a year or more ago either the Israelis or Beruit secret Service warned that Boko Harem was looking to get hold of a live Ebola victim, and get its suicide extremists to deliberately infect themselves then immediately fly to NYC, London, Paris and Berlin and spend as much time as they on on public transport and in diners etc to try and spread ebola in a large city. So I personally do consider viral haemorragic fevers like Ebola Niger, Ebola Zaire, Hanta etc as a major risk IF its deliberately brought to the west. Of course other folks see thinks differently and I equally respect their appraisals. and those risk assessments of Ebola threat to the US focus only on ACCIDENTAL transmission by a carrier returning to the US, and NOT a deliberate effort to spread and outbreak.
 
with our modern transport systems it would be quite easy for Ebola or some other disease to spread across the world, the only reason it didn't is because these were poor nations and the people couldn't afford a bus ticket never mind a plane ticket, but it could happen and probably will one day.....remember the Plague/ Black death, ok that wasn't people it was fleas on rats but same difference.
 
To bring this back on topic, I'm not overly worried about EMP occurances. We may get unlucky and receive a direct hit, but then again we might not. It's not something I lose sleep over as I can do little about the event, but my day to day preps would help keep life going while things got back to normal.
 
geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez,,,,,look like I missed all the bickering,,,,it does not matter what hits us,,lay in stocks food water fuel,,,damn few of us have a underground bunker,a good basement for most is about it,,,,your biggest problem is getting your family all in the same place,even with a emp I don't think we lose our cars,,,just do not panic,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
 
And now the name calling starts......always a Senior member or someone who thinks they are very important on a forum who attacks someone because they are trying to make people really think about something other than just listen to the all knowing senior members....

you have done some pot stirring but we each have our own opinions,,,hell we all could be wrong,,,,who knows,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,for me I will continue down my chosen path and do what I can to ensure if the world goes to hell in a hand cart I can at least survive

To be a truly global risk, it would also need to be airborne, which Ebola isn't.
 
wow,work and only occasionally here and I almost missed this...so if I prep a little for an emp/cme I give my money to the gov?
or how is it??

only thing I now is that if something happens to my grid here or some major data network failure,it will be cold as everything seems to fixed with computers as I get my heating from a central source...
ebola,fake news?? well,not in my opinion,but what the heck,what does a paramedic know..

YET!! Remember how we first enjoyed the delights of Bubonic plague, then later on we found out about Pneumonic Plague?

Pneumonic plague, a severe type of lung infection, is one of three main forms of plague, all of which are caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis. It is more virulent and rarer than bubonic plague. The difference between the versions of plague is simply the location of the infection in the body; the bubonic plague is an infection of the lymphatic system, the pneumonic plague is an infection of the respiratory system, and the septicemic plague is an infection in the blood stream.

Typically, the pneumonic form is due to a spread from infection of an initial bubonic form. Primary pneumonic plague results from inhalation of fine infective droplets and can be transmitted from human to human without involvement of fleas or animals. Untreated pneumonic plague has a mortality rate from 90-100%.

Stop it and play nice, we can all agree to disagree besides we all know I'm always right providing my wife says so :)
 
Everything regarding CME and EMP are hypothetical regarding protection, am I worried? not really. I will take known precautions such as storing a few things in a metal garbage can, if it works it works it's not a life and death situation if it's lost. I don't have the budget of a major power, I spent $22 and that's all I'm willing to spend.

CME and EMPs are real, that I know for a fact, the last two events have shown the possibilities of 'what if's' in today's environment.

Carrington Event (CME) 1859
Starfish Prime (EMP) 1962
 
The guy with the big stick is here now and I'm ending it.. Take the Ebola talk to the Ebola threads there's plenty of them.. Here we are talking about EMPs.. drt4life, undertaker and all the others move on unless its EMP talk ok? The media does blow shit up... Ebola was over advertised for a GOOD reason. It never took off here because of the mass hysteria. There are plenty of poor people dying in Africa for and from worse things things than Ebola but, that has got nothing to do with EMPs... Thank you for your cooperation. Good night..
 
There you see exactly what happens when we Brits let the Colonials try and run things for themselves, squabble squabble, squabble :) :) SE now ducks behind Sofa :)
 
but honestly,I personally can't do helluwa much to shield me from an EMP or even less from a CME,the day I will not phone (no network) can't connect my sorry butt here ( no network),my flat is ice cold,trains don't run..then one of these two have actually hit us...even if the chance is exremly remote,but so is winning in the lottery too...
