THIS SITE IS DEAD. WHY?

People are watching and reading and the ratio of readers to posters is considerable. I think many users make the rounds each day and read if anything major has happened. I have posted significant news multiple times and what are people going to say.

I do know that some have expressed Avian Fatigue. That is, it has been two years, there are not bodies in the streets, and until there are people will put Avian in the TB bracket, or chronic annoying outbreaks which don't really threaten their personal lives. Until their family or friends begin dying from a Pandemic, some have grown comfortably number. 99% of the population neither believe that it about to happen, and by the time they do believe, too late.

You might compare this to a prophet who tell everyone Jesus is coming in Ecuador on the top of a mountain, they sell all their stuff, and go to wait on the mountain. Day comes, and no Jesus. Then the sweating leader says.. well, well... it will be pretty soon.

People here have heard pretty soon so much they are either willing to check just in case or have moved on with their lives.

A lot of people find it depressing and already have their water and beans stored up and there is nothing left to say until it really starts happening.

That is the bottom line. Until we have a virulent CNN 24 coverage event, people have gotten bored.

So very true medclinician....I have a two week supply of food stocked up but thats not for an avian outbreak. I check this site daily to monitor the progress of avian. I believe it will be pretty clear, when its time to stock up on food for a pandemic. I just have to shake my head when I see people do the chicken-little dance and say the pandemic is going to occur soon. I have seen it many times on this board and each time they have egg on their face.

I know that the state of urgency I feel now will inevitably die down a little - it's human nature. Like Hotair I've definitely moved on from the panic stage I experienced at first, but I think a lot of what I feel now can be attributed to the fact that I'm a lot more confident about both my preps and mental readiness. I'm still not quite where I want to be, but I know that the last few shopping trips will be easy compared to those who haven't even started prepping. I still visit the site every day, and I usually learn something every time I do. My knowledge of the subject is so much greater than it was a year ago and I feel that this site, amongst others, has been instrumental in getting me up to speed. Thanks Albert. When you look back at older posts you do see some names that don't pop up anymore, so I think Medclinician is right about "Avian Fatigue" - there will be a lot of people who move on when it doesn't happen this year. Just remember, it's been getting more lethal and more widespread since 1997, and every year that goes by is time that's been given to you to get ready, and one year closer to the inevitable.
