@Marp The doctor that prescribed CIPRO for us when we were not sick....pretty sure that was not legal.....did it for hundreds of people.  No one ever called him on it and 20 yrs later he is retired. Who paid for it?  The insurance co's of course.  We and the hundreds of other people who got these prescriptions for CIPRO were 2,500 miles away from the nearest anthrax infection and the craziness didn't stop there.

The conversation then turned into an airborne assault that was suppose to happen too but of course did not. Nevertheless we were told to choose a room in our home that we could use as a safe room and told to make it air tight and to teach our children as well how and when to use this safe room. We were told to choose a room without a window and to shutoff our a/c and to place towels under the door to seal out the waft of airborne poison that some lunatic was about to unleash onto the U.S.  We were told to buy portable radios so we would know when it was safe to exit from our safe room and to stock up on food and other supplies. 

When I saw that we still had the CIPRO in our cupboard I told my husband I was going to take it to the repository for expired and unused medication so it could be properly destroyed.  The fear was so ingrained that even 20 years later his initial reaction was to ask me, are you sure we should, it's good to have on hand just in case isn't it?

When you say you "were told" to do these things, WHO told you?   I ask because no one told me to do any of this. I remember following the situation on the news,  but never felt that I needed to get Cipro or scope out my house for safe places.

People just need to wear the dang mask! Hard to imagine anyone being so selfish or so clueless. We had a five year old little boy die from COVID-19 In our county yesterday. This virus respects no age group, gender, or race. We are all susceptible. The little boy had underlying health condition but the news would not disclose it; I wish they would, it might be helpful to know.
