Coronavirus: Preppers and the Pandemic
The daily drama of money and work from the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ.
Theyβve been preparing for the worst for decades, but are survivalists, or βpreppers,β really ready for the coronavirus outbreak? Ron Hubbard, owner of Atlas Survival Shelters, is banking on it as he sells survival shelters which he says are more in demand than ever. But writer Mark OβConnell, author of the upcoming βNotes from an Apocalypseβ is not so certain the preppers have it right. And Beth Healey, a British medical doctor who spent a year at Concordia Station in Antarctica, has some insight into the psychological effect radical self-isolation can have.
