This quiet will end Nov 22 when panic will start.
It is so predictable.... all the highly thoughtful articles, essays and reports over a year cannot motivate sheep to think and read between the lines and make simple prudent precautions-- but a 2 hour fictional movie on the idiot box or dumbing down box Nov 21 will shake up the masses.
The tactic of lulling people to sleep with the "72 hr " nonsense was never about "fixing" it in 72 hours-- that is how long they estimate it will take FEMA and the Red Cross to set up emergency shelters.
If only everyone had modest preparations and been informed properly most of the panic -if any -would have happened AFTER trouble began and not before. This is sure going to be interesting to watch play out --- 3 weeks of peace and calm left.
