The safest place in the world right now

[Brer]

A few years ago the safest place in the world if a nuclear holocaust were to occur was the far south of New Zealand’s South Island.

Right now I reckon the Falkland Islands to escape the CV if it locks down entry.

Like Laos the FI don’t have the virus.

Any other ideas?

I would think there would be many "island" areas that would also apply to, like the Marshall islands, Cooke islands any number of south pacific/Polynesia etc

I just saw a story about the base camp in Nepal as being a good place. Sure. 

 

my house is a great place to be. Sure.

Antarctica, but probably not that much fun !!

[CNXexpat]

I am healthy, my wife and my cat too. So my house is the safest place on earth for me.

[spiekerjozef]

That's my pick.

High risk of getting the flu or minimum a cold because it´s so cold. And don´t forget the dangerous penguins and the melting ice.

Until immigration come to check on you, in their BMW, along with a cheeky little virus....

Have you locked your gate and got plenty of supplies?

Think your right.

In the end nowhere will be entirely safe.

The safest place would be the Artic provided you can survive there long enough. There's no utopia on Earth, live with it.

The safest place is where you are right now.  Isolate in your house until this is over.  Safest course of action.

Yep - agree, when we had this place built 7 years ago I seriously thought that "politics" was driving us towards a world war & built with this in mind, have everything we need, apart from loo roll!

Go where the Liverpool guy has gone but the airport looked a dodgy place. ????

Im not going to quarantine myslef, but I am chosing my spots and I Lysol the elevator buttons 2x a day

[erinsf]

Per the person below who mentioned islands like, the Marshalls being safe.....I learned yesterday, the Marshalls are on lockdown so, yes....I imagine they are a good place to be. 

[Kwasaki]

Plumbers installing bum guns must be making a few Bob. 

Who needs toilet paper. 

[rvaviator]

Safest place right now ....

 

China. They got a handle on this now, and if you do get sick, you can not get people with any more experience sorting out the problem  ????

The majority of the cases are in Bangkok. Increasing each day. I would not be surprised it turns into another Wuhan.

Outside of there and a short distance from another city, I think is pretty safe.

For now.

Safest and nicest: Svalbard.

 

But impossible to go:

 

Welcome back another time!

We’re very sorry to say that Svalbard has hit the pause button.
Svalbard and Longyearbyen is temporary closed for all but necessary travel. As of today, there are no confirmed cases of corona infection in Longyearbyen, and we want to keep it this way. Longyearbyen is a vulnerable society. We only have a small hospital with limited public health services and at the same time, we have functions that have to be maintained for the locals to be able to live here. We’re therefore forced to take all necessary precautions in order to handle this situation.

If you are one of those people that had to leave Svalbard on last night’s flight, or if you’re one of those dreaming about visiting Svalbard: Continue to dream, and please come visit our beautiful archipelago another time!

We also want to thank everyone who is helping to limit the spread of COVID-19, and for your understanding of this difficult situation. We look forward to welcoming visitors back as soon as we’re allowed to.
Stay well out there and save the hugs for later ❤

Best regards from the Svalbard team

I think the safest place also depends on how you are set-up at a certain location. I feel pretty safe up north in Thailand to be honest, living 20 mins out of town too.

Perception is wonderful 

 

[Vigilante]

Anywhere in the countryside,in any country, with lots of food,water, guns and bullets

..and a good perimeter fence

Obviously that is only feasible in the US and a few other places where gun ownership is legal

Starving hordes are the biggest danger imo.

thai gf and i are here in china now (hainan island).  we decided early on it was best to 'shelter in place' here, rather than risk the crowded buses and trains and airport terminals and the airplanes to get back to bangkok.

 

stocked up (no panic, just buy a little extra each time out) with a month minimum worth of dried goods.  always have a 3-4 month supply of all other stuff on hand anyway.

 

we figured the virus was gonna spread eventually, if we left we'd just wind up going through it twice.  seems to have worked out well for us at least.

 

chinese were strict with their quarantine enforcement.....which was helped by the country already being shut down for lunar new year.....and maintained enforcement until no new cases.

 

here on the island, no new cases in about a month.  only one person left in the hospital.  on the mainland, no new cases within the population for 2-3 days, only small numbers caught at airport screenings.

 

hainan middle and high schools are set to reopen the first week of april (mostly locals students), and colleges and universities around the end of april.  more students returning from the mainland that will have to undergo 14-day quarantine.

 

restrictions are being relaxed now, more shops are opening, restaurants now allow dining inside.  'help wanted' posters are going up as well.

shouldnt be a  problem in a land like  Thailand where  food  is  easy to come by

[URMySunshine]

Bavaria ?

[TooBigToFit]

Im sure there are some preppers in those old missile silos who are feeling safe as the watch reruns of the Omega man and War of the worlds. But in War of the Worlds, it's a virus or bacteria that kills off the aliens who thought they were invincible. Maybe we are those aliens!
