Coronavirus doesn't have to be scary, if you prepare your home properly. Here's a few top tips.

CORONA TIP #1

When it's all over, bottle caps will be currency. Leave them scattered on your desk, or strategically placed in empty drawers in rolls of ten.
CORONA TIP #2

During your confinement, keep a diary of your thoughts. Record this on physical media (tape decks are cheap on Ebay!)

Leave these in interesting places around your house. Remember to start sequentially from your front door!
CORONA TIP #3

Wrap some barbed wire around a baseball bat and place it in a box near your front door. Lock it with a combination lock.

Don't forget to scrawl the combination on a scrap of paper and leave it in a cupboard upstairs, just in case!
CORONA TIP #4

Don't lock your doors unless there's something valuable in the room - like ammunition, your bottlecap stash or that leather armour you wore to PAX East.

Use your best locks only on the rooms with the best things.
CORONA TIP #5

Remove all non-essential items from your fridge. Place a single bread roll in there, or maybe a can of food or two.

Don't forget to remove the labels from the cans!
CORONA TIP #6

Think ahead and buy some pots in advance. Leave these in groups of three in the corners of your larger rooms. Scatter some bottle tops in a few of them.

If you can't get pots, then cardboard boxes will do in a pinch!
CORONA TIP #7

Leave a medkit or two in plain sight. Don't make people hunt through your house for them unnecessarily.
CORONA TIP #8

Spotify will likely stop working after a while. If you've got a radio, keep it tuned to an old-time radio hour or your nearest numbers station.

If all else feels, pre-prepare a cassette and stick it on a loop!
CORONA TIP #9

Seal shut the doors to your three least interesting rooms. It keeps things moving and saves people time and effort!
CORONA TIP #10

Think carefully about how you want to be found. Keep a few bottlecaps with you until the end, but don't be afraid to be creative.

Remember that scrap of paper with the combination on it? Being the corpse they found it on is an easy way to stick in their memory!
As usual, if you liked this and want to buy me a coffee (or a Corona) you can do so here! 👍👍👍
