Are there lessons Learned from Survival Training in the 1980s that apply to surviving these times? Yes.

The most important thing to know about survival (even surviving coronavirus) is that people who take an interest in survival tend to survive and those who don't don't.

So, by studying what coronavirus does most recently to people is one of the ways how best to survive it.

Because think of Coronavirus as a Grizzly Bear or Mountain Lion marauding your neighborhood. However, you cannot just go out and get your 30 odd 6 bear rifle and shoot it. 

Note: One of the amazing things about a 30 odd 6 is that even though it will also bring down bears of all sizes, it was originally designed for the bullets to travel through 10 men on a battlefield before they would stop. So, it was usually a bolt action 5 or more shot rifle used mostly in World war I and the early part of World War II as well. The other interesting thing is that if you shoot it at a car or truck engine at close enough range that engine will never run again if you shot a hole through the engine block. So, this is one way they stopped all vehicles except for maybe tanks during world War I and world War II. end note.

My grandfather had one manufactured in 1911 that he hunted bears in the 1920s and everything else with it too including elk, deer and possibly raccoons. Even though my father tells stories about his father not wanting to damage raccoon pelts so he could sell them. So, he didn't want a bullet hole in the raccoon pelts. So, he sent his sons up trees with baseball bats after raccoons to knock them out so there wouldn't be any bullet holes in the pelts (which to me is an insane thing to do if you have ever seen how a raccoon actually fights because their claws are like knives and so are their teeth.) (Sharp as knives). And many older women who make the mistake of walking their poodles or other dogs at night have wound up in the hospital when the raccoons go after their dogs. You don't want to do this because raccoons are sort of like monkeys in that they hunt at night in family packs which can be really nasty if you don't understand this about them.

So, if you are an older woman with a small dog please remember this so you stay out of the hospital.

The point here is that there is a whole lot of information about survival in many different types of situations that it is good to know about. Like "Don't travel alone if you are a white woman in Asia."

This might sound goofy but if you are in a place like India or the middle East you don't want to be a white woman traveling alone simply because you might survive it if there are two of you to fight the men off who often in lower classes have no self discipline like men in the western world do and might rape you or kill you if you fight back to stop them from raping you.

You would really be surprised by how many women I have met who have been raped in Asia, India and the Middle East often by men who they thought "Were there friends or even lovers" in addition to just being strangers with no education or self control or self discipline at all like you would see in educated men in the western world. You might as well be on another planet in many of these places. Because if you expect the respect and deference you would receive in literally any western country it just isn't there in many places on earth at all.

However, in regard to coronavirus the more you know about the dangers the better you will survive.

Who will tend to die the most?

People who are living in Denial like Trumpers who don't believe any of the actual facts regarding this illness.

Like for example, a friend of mine was talking about how people in parts of Montana act like Covid doesn't exist at all in their behavior. The problem with this is eventually this could catch up to them and kill them. So, yes, if you are remote enough there might not be people much infected there but that's only for now. Because later when it hits there it will hit with a vengeance because eventually this will happen everywhere on earth. It's just a matter of time at this point.
