Thanks, good link...very detailed.
all kidding & mockery aside, I believe that advice is spot on.
Ramifications of the economy grinding to a halt for several weeks will make 9/11 pale. Biblical proportions.
============================================
Me too. I bet this time Clay wins...
Heh..heh..all these jokers in jogging outfits and riding mountain bikes will drop like flies while us couch potatoes might get the sniffles. 's what I hear.
Yeah, these touchy, feely morons are now getting themselves elected into positions of power, I mentioned that on another thread. Can you imagine the impact on our country when a majority of these dingbats are entrenched in our gummn'it? Hell, they will hold a ticker tape parade for the incoming Muzzies!
I thought the same thing.
With guns and ammo you can "barter" (Bwahahahahahaha) for everything else you need.
helpful hints from CDC. Imagine not working for a few weeks with just in time inventory. Startup might take awhile.
Social Disruption May Be Widespread
Plan for the possibility that usual services may be disrupted. These could include services provided by hospitals and other health care facilities, banks, stores, restaurants, government offices, and post offices.
Prepare backup plans in case public gatherings, such as volunteer meetings and worship services, are canceled.
Consider how to care for people with special needs in case the services they rely on are not available.
Being Able to Work May Be Difficult or Impossible
Find out if you can work from home.
Ask your employer about how business will continue during a pandemic. (A Business Pandemic Influenza Planning Checklist is available at www.pandemicflu.gov/plan/tab4.html.)
Plan for the possible reduction or loss of income if you are unable to work or your place of employment is closed.
Check with your employer or union about leave policies.
Schools May Be Closed for an Extended Period of Time
Help schools plan for pandemic influenza. Talk to the school nurse or the health center. Talk to your teachers, administrators, and parent-teacher organizations.
Plan home learning activities and exercises. Have materials, such as books, on hand. Also plan recreational activities that your children can do at home.
Consider childcare needs.
Transportation Services May Be Disrupted
Think about how you can rely less on public transportation during a pandemic. For example, store food and other essential supplies so you can make fewer trips to the store.
Prepare backup plans for taking care of loved ones who are far away.
Consider other ways to get to work, or, if you can, work at home.
The flu of 1918 would swoop into a town, kill many and be gone in a short period of time. This one probably won't kill that many or that fast -- so it'll be more than seven days...
A hand powered TV? Any idea on the name of it or where they got it?
I might be interested in picking up one for myself.
The powers that be need to lift the ban on killing those odious Canadian geese! Get rid of those filthy things, and our chances of getting the bird flu diminish.
Since duck tape is actually made from pureed duck (thus the name), it is perhaps the worst thing to have in your house in the event of an Avian Flu outbreak. The virus has been shown to survive the process of making tape from ducks, and is released when the tape is applied...
Its going to put a big hurt on chicken ranches/farms...
and yes the bird population is going to drop also...
buy pork belly futures and cattle futures
When you see your yard littered with dead birds, place head between knees and kiss your ass good bye.
150 mg. BID for 10 days, begining immediately with symptoms, is the way to go.
Why would there be any more need for weapons and ammo? If anything, the streets will be safer as sick people stay indoors and other people decide to hole up at home until the problem passes.
I would urge people to go to Dr. Robert Cathcart's site and see his information. He was famous in the 80s for treating aids patients.

Gotta love the 'ol Simonov. Now, if I could actually get my hands on any volume of 7.62x39 Wolf ammo these days. 8^(
I already have duck tape. How about chicken tape. Will I need that?
