Ten Tips for A Survivor of a Pandemic

Alan, the hero of TWO JOURNEYS, uses three strategies to survive in a post-pandemic world: "Stay Healthy, Stay Sane and Return Home". Should a pandemic strike, and should you be the last man / woman on Earth - here some useful tips to save in your backpocket:

1. Stay cool.
2. Think ahead, plan your day, plan your life. You’re in this for the long run!
3. Make sure that you always have access to enough food and fresh water.
4. Keep yourself and your surroundings clean.
5. Avoid any situation that could be harmful. Stay away from dead bodies. A sting from a bee, a strained ankle or a bout of diarrhea can immobilize you. Don’t do any acrobatics, don’t try to be a hero (you are one already, remember?).
6. Get a weapon, and learn how to use it - don't use it on yourself.
7. Make sure you have a medicine box with a large selection of medication.
8. Go to bed early.
9. Don’t drink alcohol or use drugs.
10. Search for other survivors; but don’t count on finding any. Get a pet instead.
