I have been riding an up and down mild panic lately around quarantines, total global collapse, and economic devastation. So this weekend, I took a break from reading and just played with my daughter and got back to a sense of normalcy. But as I went shopping and ran errands, I did not see a single sign that shelves are becoming empty, or that people are really slowing down on buying things. I know it's true for big ticket items, but Target was full of people and so were a couple of other stores I visited.
I live in California and we are on the brink of a governmental collapse. Every day you hear of a state running into the red with cut backs, layoffs and furloughs. So as I revisited my doomsday scenario in my mind, I just do not see where any state is going to come up with the money to enforce mandatory vaccination. I do not even see that there is sufficient local police force to do anything either as police are also being laid off and cut back. So that leaves the National Guard and the military. And we know how stretched they are with Iraq and Afghanistan.
So while I am quietly building my first aid kits, purchased a book called Just in Case to help me figure out how to build enough supplies to last for a while, I just don't see in these economic times how cities have the resources to enforce anything. If other states are anything like us, clinics are being shut or seriously shut down. People don't have health insurance. It would basically be a monumental task for THEM to do this.
But I would say this if something did start to happen... I would not try to leave the country. This country is HUGE. There are so many pockets of places you could disappear into. If you want to have a plan, try to find some place you could rent that is in the country in a seriously cash strapped area. In an area with few resources, there would unlikely be personnel to track you down. Even if it's some kind of retreat place or funky cabin. Live in it off the grid so you cannot be tracked... do not activate any utilities or anything and you would probably be fine.
I just would never expose my self to airport authority OR airline authority if the climate was about forced vaccination. I could dig up the website, but when I had a few awful experiences flying with my daughter last April, I found a forum where you could post your complaints about airlines. The stories I read there of outright abuse on the part of airline attendants and ground crew is chilling. They have incredible power since 911 and in some cases, it seems if you just look at them wrong they can kick you off planes and leave you stranded. The problem I had did not led to that, but I FELT the intensity with this particular woman and I sensed that I should be very careful. Now I know why after reading the forum. And I am a very seasoned traveler so I have lots of experience to compare it to. so..... off the grid is the best place for you to go, IMO.
