In the US, it’s very often the mother’s decision, because the nurses will ask her. Fathers mostly get very little say in the medical care of their children in the US at nearly any age if the mother is present.

Nah, just the male children.

Why not both?

One has to wonder if Recall just isn’t as profitable as they had hoped.

Like most prepper things for sale, this is a better product to skin money from the ignorant and the unreasonably fearful than it is truly useful. It assumes you have electricity and the functioning equipment to access it.

In a real prepper situation, you either already ready have the knowledge in your head, (the best method), or you have real books and pamphlets to read, (slow to access).

Remember Kiddies, if a real SHTF gets here, there not only won’t be no google or youtube, but there won’t be much time to use it anyway. Survival is a real time sink. And most living in the big cities will simply die in place anyway.

It’s supposed to be in the US also.

First you live in rural Mississippi, now you live less than 75 miles from the Canadian border? Should I call you an asshole ignorant troll?

The numbers are still non-zero across the northern US. Needing a passport to shop at Walmart should be at least a hint that I’m over 1000 miles away from you. And I should probably be happy that I’m not as representative as you I suppose. In any case, enjoy your “rural” life.

Me, I’mma waiting for iceout on the lake and for the frost danger to go away, (about another 4 weeks), so I can get my garden in again.

Good for you. Where I live, there is still no cell service, (got to be in a town for that), and the US Postal Service will not deliver mail to my home, (I need to pay $165 a year to get a postal box in town to get my mail and I need to drive to get it). I do have internet most of the time, but that and the electricity can be sketchy in a storm, the hazards of living in a forest. So if I can’t access that, Oh well, been there before. And I have lived many years without it. Like I said, we will just do without. Oh, and the nearest Walmart is in another country, Canada. I need an enhanced driver’s license or passport to shop there. So I ain’t missing much there either. The nearest hospital, (level 3, the “barely a hospital” level) is 50 miles away and the nearest ambulance is 20 miles away-- you have a heart attack, you will probably die before help gets there.

There is wannabe rural like you and then there is rural.

The difference is we are used to it. You are not.

As one of those more rural Americans-- we’ve always lived that life of not being able to get those things the rest of you take for granted. Whether it’s tofu, cell phone service, or healthcare. So my life will continue with little disruption.
