WHICH HEADLINE IS TRUE?
February 27, 2026​

---

Can you spot the real headline? Only one of these is true:

A. "CDC Warns: 80% of American's Homes Lack Basic Medical Supplies"
B. "World Health Organization: Only 1 in 10 People Globally Are Prepared for a Medical Emergency"
C. "Surgeon General's Report: Just 50% of U.S. Hospitals Have Pandemic Preparedness Plans"​

---

Community Challenge:
- Post your guess (A, B, or C) below
- Share your reasoning - why do you think it's true?
- Did any of the false headlines trick you? Why did they seem plausible?

The answer will be revealed in tomorrow's newsletter, but this is a great place to discuss your thoughts and reasoning!

Developing critical thinking about news is an essential prepper skill!​

Going with A—seems entirely possible that folks are missing basic medical stuff at home. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve gone looking for a bandage and found nothing but expired cough drops! Wouldn’t be surprised if the Surgeon General’s report (C) is just there to throw us all off. Did anybody else have a grandma who kept iodine and gauze from the 1970s "just in case"?
