Sad thing was, at least for the US, we were one of the most prepared countries in the world. We even have the CDC, the most powerful disease control organization in the world, as well as multiple other smaller organizations that constantly advise the president on diseases, and studies their spread. We had plans for just about any kind of situation, including even the President dying of the disease, yet all of those plans assumed that the president would support their actions, or at the very least not obstruct them. Literally minutes after one of the first major actions taken by the CDC, recommending the public wear masks, the president immediately announced he wouldn't wear one, and that it was "just a recommendation, not a mandate." One of the worst things, I'd say, was when Trump decided to get another doctor to "counter" Fauci. He got a neurosurgeon to advise him on the pandemic. While I don't doubt the guy is good at performing brain surgery, I don't know what he's doing advising about a pandemic. It almost just seems like he went "what's a smart-sounding doctor? Oh, a brain surgeon!" That's like asking a state tax lawyer to fly to a different state to handle a murder trial! Or even the other way around! It's not his speciality, if he even did study any epidemiology it would have been in school, 30+ years ago.
It does though, I remember everyone thinking 2016 was a terrible year/ apocalyptic/ the worst year ever. Now the 2016 election is the only bad thing I can even remember about that year.
Netflix subscription? Haha.

A towel is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. Partly it has great practical value. You can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapours; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a miniraft down the slow heavy River Moth; wet it for use in hand-to-hand-combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (such a mind-bogglingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough. More importantly, a towel has immense psychological value. For some reason, if a strag (strag: non-hitch hiker) discovers that a hitch hiker has his towel with him, he will automatically assume that he is also in possession of a toothbrush, face flannel, soap, tin of biscuits, flask, compass, map, ball of string, gnat spray, wet weather gear, space suit etc., etc. Furthermore, the strag will then happily lend the hitch hiker any of these or a dozen other items that the hitch hiker might accidentally have "lost." What the strag will think is that any man who can hitch the length and breadth of the galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through, and still knows where his towel is, is clearly a man to be reckoned with. Hence a phrase that has passed into hitchhiking slang, as in "Hey, you sass that hoopy Ford Prefect? There's a frood who really knows where his towel is."
@@littlemissbump100 Isn't that minute, like as in seconds, minutes and hours, so I was looking through suggested words and found that, thought it was correct.

"you probably stopped watching" how dare you make such an assumption
James telling the videographer he's going to eat the guide was my favorite part.
He looked so delighted getting a whistle from blowing that raisin packet!! 😂😂 James, you're adorable 😍
Sure, you’re clever prepping for a pandemic, but you hit extra level clever with “That’s a very different kind of Tinder.”
Someone rolled a d20 on foresight here...
Researcher: First of all, we're talking about Salmonella that is not a virus...
Me: AND THE BEAN SPROUTS!!!
CANT FORGET THE BEAN SPROUTS!!!!!
@@ajearlywine4622 Exactly! You can NEVER forget the Bean Sprouts!
A towel is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. Partly it has great practical value. You can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapours; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a miniraft down the slow heavy River Moth; wet it for use in hand-to-hand-combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (such a mind-bogglingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough.
More importantly, a towel has immense psychological value. For some reason, if a strag (strag: non-hitch hiker) discovers that a hitch hiker has his towel with him, he will automatically assume that he is also in possession of a toothbrush, face flannel, soap, tin of biscuits, flask, compass, map, ball of string, gnat spray, wet weather gear, space suit etc., etc. Furthermore, the strag will then happily lend the hitch hiker any of these or a dozen other items that the hitch hiker might accidentally have "lost." What the strag will think is that any man who can hitch the length and breadth of the galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through, and still knows where his towel is, is clearly a man to be reckoned with.
Hence a phrase that has passed into hitchhiking slang, as in "Hey, you sass that hoopy Ford Prefect? There's a frood who really knows where his towel is."

"The chances are minut"
**Directed By Robert B Wiede Starts Playing**
Can't spell minute
*directed by the dictionary* starts playing
@@littlemissbump100 Isn't that minute, like as in seconds, minutes and hours, so I was looking through suggested words and found that, thought it was correct.
@@littlemissbump100 Oh sh*t, I just did text to voice, it's minut...
@@thierry18 Not according to google speech to text... but yeah, I still spelt it wrong.
For anyone wondering what I spelt before I edited it, I spelt "Minuet" XD
Remember when the apocalypse was this crazy far out future concept? Ah, 2019 was a naive time. Great vid tho vietch! Interesting
Am I the only one that thinks James Veitch just predicted the future?
James, Take one thing off your list.
Asteroid strike.
NASA now has that covered.
Much love.
I'd love to see a followup with everyone he talked to in this video where they react to their statements. I think it would be hilarious considering the smugness and humor some of them had.
With how spot on this one is, should release the other chapters.
You know. Just in case.
Iove his sketches. They are so smart an witty sometimes.
I love his sketches too. They are funny every once in a while.
The emergency kit for zombies is lacking the all-important cricket bat.
You mean you don't already have one of those. There's a lot of things you can do with a cricket bat.
The store guy saying, in a fully serious tone, "We have people come in here, concerned about zombie preparedness", may be the funniest shit I've heard in a long time.
“Where did you manage to get this pure water from?” He said it like such a curious child 😂
“The chances are minute”
Well, well, well, look how the turntables
