the stores will be stripped suddenly and that will drive more panic. Prepare now even if you do not believe a pandemic is coming.

We've been preparing for months, for anything headed our way. Be it disease or terrorism attack. Some of my family think my hubby and I have gone off the deep end.

I believe the Red Cross and HS has revised their 72 hours of supplies to 2 weeks worth. I'll see if I can find it if you want?

Good morning.
"We've been preparing for months, for anything headed our way. Be it disease or terrorism attack."

I've prepped since the Seventies and my family is as ready as they can be. Our house, when it is finished in July will provide comfortable shelter, with power and a good water source for the entire clan.

The rub is the various medications I take to stay alive. The next time I see my cardiologist I will try to talk him into a prescription for a six month supply and fill it only if the flu mutates and the pandemic begins. I place my faith in the FreeRepublic to give me enough warning. If the flu is a bust I'll keep the prescription for my great-grandkid's amusement after I'm gone.

The part of the bug I don't like is the near 50% mortality rate for those who get it.

You're not alone.

You're not alone in the advanced prep, or in the family that thinks you're nuts. We currently have about four months' worth of food/water/pet food/diapers/other sundries stored up -- and I'm usually laying in a bit extra, because those family members who think we're nuts will need help, too.

We're ants.
They're grasshoppers.
