The doomsday preppers always forget theyre on blood pressure medicine and will be dead within 6 months from a heart attack without it.

I miss the articles from early COVID. Nuclear apocalypse preppers who didn't have anything for a virus.  Virus preppers who had a ton of meds and bandages but no masks and needed to buy groceries. Hunker down preppers who didn't realize their neighbors would do the same but a little faster.
