I had to laugh! Our most populous state in the nation and one of the most (if not most) prosperous and they are going to spend about $1.76 per person in preparation for what could be the most momentous event in at least two generations. I can only hope that funding will increase as the danger is perceived to increase and gain momentum in its march west. But we are seeing more and more say openly to prep for isolation. I guess once the HHS came out with it as a recommendation others now feel safe in saying it. |

Oh geez. Now it's my panic time. 18-24 months?!? i know, i know, we've talked about that, but I really didn't think it could possibly be that long and I'm sure I don't have much more than 6 months. Ack!!!! I'm sure I'm running around like a chicken with it's head cut off. (weird metaphor I know....) -- Libby who can't get out to get more stuff until next week....

I like that in the San Jose Mercury News the Public Health Officer said individuals are to take more direct responsibility for THEIR OWN CARE. Many of the sick will have to care for themselves at home. They are warning people UPFRONT that they are on their own with this thing and DON'T expect the government to come to bale you out. They are certain to not make this thing come off like New Orleans. |

I to am the chicken with its head cut off...I know I have enough pasta for a year and possibly enough rice and flour..and I have started buying corn meal(and corn flour) at least some veggies there.....I have enough sweets for a year we are not big candy eaters ...i have just done inventory of canned goods..looks bad...I have alot of spaggetti sauce and tomato sauce..but not much in canned fruits... I guess if I have enough to get through a winter, until i can plant(hopefully a garden)..cause if it is in bird pooh you would actually have to have a greenhouse to plant..bird pooh on your lettuce and then you get infected... I know that my 600 litres of water will not last long with 4 of us(but will have to deepend on rain water...or snow..have lots of snow right now... I am still of the thought it will hit North America and Canada in March/April..like the last pandemic did..people are happy to see spring and shed there clothes and there common sense... |

Muskrat, Stock up on some canned fruits and veggies. Canned veggies come packed in water, and you can drink it! (Dont pour it out when you open the can!). Also some canned fruit comes in light pear concentrate juice, which is a tasty drink, especially for kids. (I avoid buying canned fruit in heavy syrup, because I want to be able to drink the juice in an emergency and not be overwhelmed by it, haha!) :)

ST Micro develops Avian Flu "lab on chip" By: INQUIRER staff Thursday 19 January 2006, 11:06 ST MICROELECTRONICS and Veredus Labs said they're developing a so called "lab on a chip" which will quickly detect strains of bird flu and other flu viruses.
Veredus is developing an app which uses ST Micro's "In Check" technology to discover whether a patient has Avian Flu H5N! or a subtype of Influenza A or B using just one test, rather than multiple tests. The technology works by processing a sample on a disposable chip, with results detected by using a portable reader using optical signal acquisition, processed by ST Micro's bioinformatics software, which runs on PCs. The two firms hope to have the product ready as early as autumn this year, they said. µ

I believe there is a of planning not covered by the media by employers . Most employers are starting their plans Some essential workers will be quaranteened right at the start. Some will be laid off first. Im sure there are people out there who know that they are essential to their employers. have they concidered they could be quaranteened. |

What freaks me out the most out of this whole thing is that more people are not talking, planning etc. This is huge!!! This could be like the Great Depression. Only this time people will be sick and/or dying. And on a worldwide basis. I'm glad that I found this forum. And in turn I am telling everyone I know about it. What I especially like about this site is there aren't any commercial interests like other ones I have seen.
