I've been preparing for weeks. Meanwhile, I explain to others what is coming (I live in a rural area in Canada). People laugh at me or simply don't care.

This requires such a strong shift in paradigm that they will need to see things falling apart or people dying close to them until they act.

Dude make everything you can. If they don't trust your word, try to show them news pieces that explain the nature of the exponential function. NYT on others are doing some work on it.

Believe me, I went through 2008 and it was hard here in Spain, but this is something different. You're nervous not only for your economical future but for your health and the health of your loved ones, and it's an invisible enemy.

The government is saying that this is a huge crisis, but a temporal one. Society is closing down and pretty much everyone agrees that this is bad and is going to be for long.

Those of you who know what's coming, you should make your best effort. I regret I didn't go way more vocal of fears of being dismissed as an alarmist.

What do you mean by preparing? What steps are you taking?
