I will read over it later. But if the spouse gets it well they wont know for a short while. So imo friends family or coworkers will get it to you eventually. Delaying it Is all I think we may do..
-
Watch for prices to go up on all that medically related material for protection. :) Now that there's a new market, I'm sure production will go up and flood the market...and prices will go up.
-
I would agree with you on prices going up on protection items. I have seen various sites sending email sales info with jacked up prices on masks,gloves an tyvek suits over the past couple of weeks.
-

Apocalypse Now: Preppers Are Gearing Up for Ebola
It’s showtime for the Doomsday set. As the lethal virus crosses America’s doorstep, prep kits and gas masks are flying off shelves and fringe survivalists are going mainstream.
Jason Charles knows the exact moment he will lead his wife and five kids out of their Harlem home, pile into a car, and take off for the wilderness. It will be not long after Ebola reaches the population of New York City, hospitals overflow, and looting begins—when the first riots break out on the streets of Manhattan.
“Right now it isn’t bad, but if the first case happens in New York, you start hearing about hundreds or thousands of people getting sick and it shotguns through the city, then you want to start getting your plan together to leave,” says the 37-year-old fireman and dedicated prepper. When that happens, he says, “it’s a free fall, that’s the system breaking down.”
But the moment of evacuation is delicate. Skipping work, pulling the kids out of school—all of these decisions have lasting consequences. “If you leave too early, you look like an idiot; if you leave too late, you could be dead,” Charles says.
