Personally, a government that takes 50%+ of my income producing this kind of garbage-level content scares me more than COVID ever did. What the fuck am I/are we paying for?
Hey, they're also producing the nuclear weapons. :)
Probably not helpful in WW3. Possibly helpful in a "Goldsboro, North Carolina, January 1961 but not lucky" type of situation.
I thought this was satire, but then I saw the .gov We are living in a satire universe folks.
The US govt is literally adopting the dumbest takes on Twitter[1] as official policy. [1] https://twitter.com/DanaHoule/status/1496723469890949127

“A fire broke out backstage in a theatre. The clown came out to warn the public; they thought it was a joke and applauded. He repeated it; the acclaim was even greater. I think that's just how the world will come to an end: to general applause from wits who believe it's a joke.”

Are they though? I’m not exactly confident those work anymore. Our subs keep crashing in to underwater mountains.
"The FDA has approved two different forms of KI (potassium iodide), tablets and liquid, that people can take by mouth after a radiation emergency involving radioactive iodine." If there was a radiation emergency, people should take a drug that would help protect them from thyroid cancer.
I am genuinely asking; how worried should we be? I'm really freaking out about this...
I wouldn’t be too worried. The best things you can do to prepare are often the same kinds of other disaster prep you should do. Have a couple of weeks of water stored safely in your house. Have a small emergency supply of food. Have a well stocked first aid kit (watch for expirations). Have a battery powered portable radio. Look at ready.gov for a checklist: https://www.ready.gov/kit Such a kit will have the high val…
The comments here are silly. You can absolutely prioritize your risks, which means you’re not precluded from taking sensible precautions if you’re able to. This isn’t rock/paper/scissors. If you’re far enough away from the point of impact and the winds are right, Covid might be more of a threat than a nuclear bomb. If you’re two states away from where a bomb goes off, and insist on open-mouth kissing strangers as the…
No, what's silly is filling people's heads with rubbish about COVID in case of a nuclear disaster or other acute emergency. Hand sanitizer is absolutely not the right thing to be concerned with. Masks perhaps, but not for COVID. Storing clean water, minimizing your perishable food waste, securing your house/shelter and making makeshift repairs to damage, using a radio (e.g., from your car) to listen for information,…
Also considering that one of the parts that suggests hand sanitizer says the following
If you are able to, set aside items like soap, hand sanitizer that contains at least 60 percent alcohol, disinfecting wipes, and general household cleaning supplies that you can use to disinfect surfaces you touch regularly. *After a flood*, you may not have access to these supplies for days or even weeks. Keep in mind each person’s specific needs, including medication. Don’t forget the needs of pets. Obtain extra batteries and charging devices for phones and other critical equipment.
The "After a flood" part makes me think this is just general disaster preparedness and has nothing at all to do with COVID.
Edit: There was another part about hand sanitizer that was much more COVID-19 related that I missed the first time, my mistake. But the entire page looks like a copy-pasted frankenstein.

The page is useless as is.
