With newer cases of coronavirus being recorded, making preparations for lockdown 2.0 may be a wise move. Countries like Italy & the UK are already implementing the second phase of their lockdown, and it is starting to look like a matter of “when” and not “if” America will do the same.
While some of these countries have not taken lightly to these measures (in the form of riots), there’s no denying that it is safer to curb the number of cases — as the massive deaths of the first wave are still very fresh in our hearts.
3 Essential Steps for Making Preparations for Lockdown 2.0
Already, there are signs of what to expect should the second wave of this attack continue rising. Marion County in Indianapolis has cut down the capacity of bars, nightclubs & venues to just 25%. Face-to-face learning in schools will be suspended from November 30thdue to the 13% rise in child infections.
Even the average American is preparing for this, much more, us, preppers. Let us take lessons from the first lockdown to figure out what else will be affected should this lockdown be implemented.
Home Schooling
Should the case of child infections keep rising, schools will have no choice but to try to avoid gaps in learning, and that is most likely going to lead to the very gaps they’ll be trying to prevent. Take a cue from the first lockdown.
You should not wait until this happens. As things stand, I suggest that you buy your kids some homeschooling equipment. This doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re spending hundreds of dollars
Just get supplementary learning & assignment materials for your kids to be prepared if eventually online classes return to vogue.
Chest Freezer
If you don’t have one already, you should get one as soon as possible. This machine helps store a sizable amount of protein, which will be handy if meat shortages hit again. You and your family won’t have to eat scrapes to enjoy meat protein with a stocked chest freezer. I mean, you’re a prepper: you have to be prepared. No?
Community Interaction
Perhaps the best preparatory step you can take towards lockdown 2.0 is to get more involved with your community. This is about discharging community duties and having a say in decisions, and being identified with council members. This will be crucial if the lockdown is implemented.
With solidarity among you all, your community can demand the lockdown to be called off. If you’re already thinking that your voice has no influence, ask yourself how often you’ve put it out and the steps you’ve taken to empower it.
Asides from this, your community members are your allies in disasters and emergencies. They will prove very useful in case of any happenstance.
