A pandemic to force the people to get prepared ? Seems that months ago we were told to get prepared. I assume most of us did so. But most folks I live around think I am nuts for doing so. If the patriots are going to initiate "the plan" ,they must consider that many people will not be ready. I have always said that most of my neighbors would die if there was a grid down situation , for any length of time. So how do you get people prepared ?  It just occurred to me that part of the "take down" is the possibility of retaliation which brings about a total shutdown of the grid, the supply chain, the banks, etc. Most of the population is not prepared. So how do you get them prepared? The virus has caused the population to go the the store and stock up. They are getting prepared to survive the "storm" without even knowing it.
