Of interest to your list?
I am just staying away from any area or anyone who might be exposed.
We stocked up 2 years ago.
I want an apology from the MSM for being called a “nut job”
from another site:
“In Dallas, theres a Cowboys game on Sunday and the Texas State Fair is ongoing for the next 3 weeks just east of downtown.”
well, I certainly would n’t go to either now, if I were in Texas
Water.
Ammo
Food
More antibiotics.
In that order.

Here's some. An ACTIVE LIVE map of diseases around the world - followed by a scrolling list of recent cases - followed by a breakdown by disease with details of each incident.
So far, we have more to worry about from EVD-68 and chikungunya.

Anyone have advice on respirators? It is unclear as to whether Ebola can be transmitted via airborne route, but it is clear that coughing and sneezing can produce droplets which are transmissible.
Might be a good time to get more supplies at supermarket. If there is a widespread outbreak, grocery stores, hospitals, and pharmacies would be dangerous places.
Even a relatively small number of deaths in the 10s of thousands in the US would be enough to grind commerce to a halt and an ensuing economic collapse.
Um, they are called “peepers” because they are already prepared. They may shore up some stocks, but not much. Why? Again, they are already prepared!
And, I believe it’s time for the Texas/Oklahoma game! (Oct. 11)
Okay, since Ebola is a virus, antibiotics won’t help it... but what kinds of things should we stock up on?
I can think of a few things, such as Vitamin C. Any other supplements which are known to be helpful in this kind of a situation? Maybe Gatorade or Powerade to ward off dehydration (sugar-free version for me, as a d diabetic).
The OU/Texas game in Dallas is on Oct. 11 at the Cotton Bowl right next to the state fair. I would not be surprised if some OU fan brings back ebola to Norman, where I live.
I bought a couple of these for flu/cold and take extra vitamin C, but that was just for the usual seasonal stuff. dunno if it will work on something really serious.

“breathe healthy” masks that is.
What are we doing, nothing, we are already prepped.
