      Prepper Chat Nights are on the 1st and 3rd Fridays of every month. It’s a (video optional) call where we mostly talk about our recent prepping experiences and lessons.

      Note: The Friday chats aren’t the only reason to join Discord. While the website remains the better place for guides, articles, and experience reports, Discord really shines for conversation or helping someone through an immediate situation. The two work well together, and I use both every day.

      The FDA has granted emergency use authorization for pemivibart (Pemgarda) as a Covid-19 pre-exposure prophylaxis for immunocompromised peoples aged 12 and older. Pre-exposure prophylaxis means it must be given before exposure to be effective in providing protection.

      This is long-awaited news for immunocompromised people, since the previous monoclonal prophylaxis, Evushield, stopped working almost a year ago.
