[00:00:00] :  This is, this show is brought to you by safety FM. The following program is rated for mature audiences and may contain adult language, adult situations and frank safety discussions. The names in certain details have been changed to protect the safe and the unsafe. But believe me, every item and here is true. Recording the covid memories from the last year and a half today on safety wars. I have a little bit of an advantage over a lot of my family members because I still remember my grandparents and a lot of the family that grew up during the spanish flu. A lot of my older younger cousins, I should say without were born in the 80s. I don't remember a lot of the older family members that went through the spanish flu. I got to hear stories on papa stories about the spanish flu from their point of view. They were alive in 1917, 1918, That's from my family. My father's side of the family came over from Germany and before everything went to groove. No, during World War Two. And we got to hear a lot of families stories about how people were dying, people were, how it impacted their lives, things of that nature. Eventually, all those families stories were lost. I still remember some of them. I realized that I don't remember so, but I'm going to do with some of the people that I deal with. A lot of the groups that I deal with, including my church family is I'm proposing that we all sit down and record stories either in writing or we have recording systems and what have you audio. If you want to go old school audiotapes that we could record some of our memories. What are we looking for? Mhm. You can look at this from a disaster preparation point of view. Well, this is what we ran out of. So for whatever reason. Well, I'll always remember the toilet paper running out of toilet paper and paper towels and no, thank God my kids are out of diapers because there are no baby wipes anywhere. That's one memory. Some of the other memories, I remember going into the supermarket, my local supermarket and I had a full face respirator on with the 100 cards. And guess what was me and five other people in the whole place. And there was no protein, no meat, potato chips, forget about it, No pasta, no potato chips, no pancake mix. I said okay, no pancake mix, let's look at the all purpose flour, no all purpose flour, you name it, they didn't have it anything, the normal stuff. They had plenty of other items that you probably shouldn't be eating. So this is essentially my memories of this and what we're going to use for that. My Children, I told them to go and write down and record what they went through with remote schooling. Either online and a lot of them, we had to bring in tutors, things of that nature being cut off from family and friends for a year. We missed a lot of birthdays, a lot of holidays, a lot of other family events. What were they like? Maybe we're going to spend, we're going to spend this holiday weekend trying to reconnect now that things are opening up with some of our friends who we haven't seen in a year or more. All this stuff, it needs to be recorded for posterity. That needs to be recorded for the next God forbid pandemic that comes about. Usually it's every 100 years or so. There's some type of an epidemic or pandemic. Any of this stuff as part of our history. It's important that we communicate those and record our experiences because those who don't record history don't study history are doomed to repeat history. We don't want to get caught off guard the next time that something like this happens, especially with the timeline of events and the leading indicators that we're going to have a problem for safety worse.
