got any plans for the weekend a movie
shopping
how about prepping for the rapid spread
of infectious disease
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we're
counting down our picks for the top 10
ways to survive a pandemic Oh feels so
good for this list we're looking at the
most practical ways you can increase
your chances of staying alive if an
outbreak of infectious disease or to
take over the world
right at this moment number 10
avoid airports and public transportation
you can toss that group on your hanging
on to goes a first-class ticket ain't
going to get you away from a pandemic in
fact it more likely be a ticket to hell
in 2010 an MIT engineer developed a
computer simulation to emulate the
movement of a pathogen inspired by the
real-life itineraries of passengers
stopping at major US airports using
virtual infected travelers the model
showed the JFK LAX Honolulu San
Francisco and Newark Airport would be
the top five perpetrators in spreading
disease but of course this concept
applies to all major types of public
transportation worldwide bottom line
either have private transportation lined
up or suit up for the worst case
scenario Suda I'm trying to number nine
get a coverall suit also known as a
boiler suit we've probably all seen
movies or video games where our heroes
are geared up in high-tech protective
suits that look badass
we've likely all wanted to wear one at
one point or another and now you're in
luck because that's exactly what you'll
need in such dire circumstances why are
you wearing it's a hazmat suit that
stands for hazardous materials men's
suit wearing if you rent more than four
times a year it just makes sense to buy
there's a good chance you won't be able
to save the world wearing one but at
least you can protect yourself when
venturing out we also recommend buying
protective face gear such as masks and
safety goggles to go along with your
coveralls which you can find at your
local facemask and safety goggles and
for you actually they're not bad you
guys they fit on your face really really
snug get this get the nail gun number
eight procure an emergency light source
where's the generator pay the power
company all you like but don't expect
them to be working when all hell breaks
loose
losing electricity could mean anything
from eating your ramen raw and cold to
freezing to death since everyone around
you will also be suffering through a
blackout expect emergency generators to
grow legs and disappear in no time do
you think this is an ugly candle no way
man there's no such thing as an ugly
homemade candle fortunately there are
emergency light sources you can still
use such as candles matches fuel powered
light and Solar Hand Crank flashlights
creativity is born during times of
adversity and will hopefully lead to new
discoveries to brighten up your
surroundings like a light bulb base
remove it to fill the bulb up with water
then put back the batteries an LED and
add some flowers thanks for watching
number 7
make sure you have filters to clean air
time to clear
usually an outbreak occurs through
physical contact but if it becomes an
airborne outbreak the stakes are very
high we'd all like a decontamination
system installed on our front porch and
maybe some pressurized rooms but who has
money for that other than equipping
yourself with oxygen masks having proper
air filtration around the house can
reduce your chances of being
contaminated air purifier products with
hepa filters are recommended by Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention we
must tell you however that some can cost
almost a grand you're worth it though
right she doesn't want the 200 now yeah
bro under cigar house guys though says I
should get the 200 I break your thumb
you understand oh please number 6 ward
antibacterial products they're all
covered with filthy germs aren't they
Smithy's why what do you mean sir no
matter how protected you are an outbreak
is still frightening because you can't
see the bacteria dancing around us but
you can break up the dance floor by
sanitizing everything around you during
the 2014 Ebola crisis the most popular
items were bleach and disinfectants
stocking up on bleach and germicidal
wipes along with other solutions should
be your priority it's crucial for
everyone to sanitize things like garbage
bags couches and doorknobs on a regular
basis
after that you can head to the dance
floor where hopefully the only thing
that sturdy is the dancing
number five have a good communication
device Rick you copy
anybody can you imagine being the last
person to find out that the world went
back to normal
thankfully we live in a time where
everyone is connected through a global
network and as such we're able to keep
up with current events the easiest just
got easier
it's the messages I can customize my
email my niece sent me a picture if you
have a phone line you can be online it's
the easiest way to keep up with all
fruits but in the event that our
internet providers flee for their lives
everyone should wipe the dust off their
old communication devices Kohl's will
not be answered without that corded
phone that's one of your walkie talkies
to your buddy and tune in to the
emergency Channel with your radio more
importantly make sure to turn that
volume knob up in case help is on the
way
number four get water filtration if the
world has ended things are pretty bad
you don't want to make matters worse
than they already are
by having to drink urine some other
emergency items that often disappear
during times of crisis
are water and water filters it's usually
recommended that you prioritize stocking
up on bottled water before switching to
your tap water but in the event that
you're roaming the wasteland and come
across a water supply as long as you
have a way to decontaminate the water
just be grateful that it's another day
you don't have to drink pee cuz no
getting away from it number three
wash your hands the average person
touches their face two or three thousand
times a day two or three thousand times
a day three to five times every waking
minute in between we're touching
doorknobs water fountains elevator
buttons and each other everyone should
be doing this anyway whether or not
there's a pandemic one of the best ways
to prevent sickness and the spread of
germs is to wash your hands with soap
and clean water soap and water does the
trick
keep them clean all day researchers in
London have estimated that if everyone
properly washed their hands a million
deaths a year could be prevented and a
large portion of foodborne disease
outbreaks are caused by contaminated
hands so wash your hands for the love of
humanity in sickness and health good
times and bad number two
stock up on essential supplies anyone
even work in here
just get the serum we're getting close
to our number one pick but without our
essential supplies nothing matters
looking back at the past some of the
worst outbreaks in history lasted for
quite some time the Black Death held on
for four years with some sources saying
it was closer to seven and the 1918
Spanish flu persisted for over a year so
regardless of what the next pandemic is
you should only stock up on supplies
that can last you for a long period of
time don't plan on buying perishable
products or having some barbeque with
your neighbors instead go with the MREs
meal ready to eat right so this one key
thing paint over here make sure to hoard
all possible first-aid kits supplements
vitamins and antibiotics while you're at
it so we're about a year's worth of food
now and the goal is to really have two
three four years cap it off that's the
last one we're all done with the rice
before we unveil our top pick here are
some honorable mentions remove the used
product from front to back and dispose
of the product based on your facility
protocol I feel so confident in this
structure I bet you I can drink some of
this chocolate syrup without falling
into the thing glad quick tie are the
only bags with three-ply strength they
won't break like this bargain bag you
should get to the point where anyone
else would quit and you're not gonna
stop there no what are you waiting for
do it number one live in isolation
once you've stocked up and prepared for
every possible eventuality it's time to
head inside your vault it's only a
matter of time until everything goes
back to normal
we hope till then wherever you might be
and whoever you might be with enjoy the
moment
help experts and officials usually
advise staying indoors during any
outbreaks so this is what you should be
doing if situations occur necessitating
that you go outside avoid populated
areas and make the least possible
contact lastly keep your hopes up and
try not to go crazy well you can rest
assured mr. oh man that's not gonna
happen with me do you agree with our
list yeah it's all just nonsense what do
you think are the best ways to survive a
pandemic yeah yeah I can't recall is
