While I can understand your thoughts, I don't think anyone is going to all of a sudden prepare for heart disease, unless that preparation is to draw up a will.
Heart disease is something you are either preventing or not.
The "pandemic" is a contrived political move.
The only things you can prepare for health wise is to try to have meds on hand enough to last a little longer. Diabetic people in particular need to get insulin and test supplies ahead of need.
To the OP, I liked the Shellback Banshee PC, and I bought Hesco special threat plates. There are several good PC out there though. Shoulder straps angled a little, and adjustable fit will help it be more comfortable. Less crap hanging off it is a good thing as well. I've seen some guys carrying almost twice the load out I'd consider.
