TRUCK DRIVERS ARE REPORTING THAT FEMA TRAILERS ARE

HEADING FROM THE MAIN DEPOT TOWARD MAIN CITIES     This on Steve Quale's site at http://www.stevequayle.com/index1.html

THIS COMES FROM CB REPORTS AND IS CREDIBLE. ALSO, I HAVE A FRIEND THAT USED TO WORK WITH ME IN PITTSBURGH'S LARGEST HOSPITAL HAS REPORTED THAT THE EMERGENCY ROOMS ARE GEARING UP FOR A DANGEROUS OUTBREAK. THIS SWINE FLU THING IS NOT SOME HARMLESS THING. I THINK IT MAY BE A PRECURSOR TO MARTIAL LAW. I WILL ADVISE OF FURTHER DEVELOPMENTS

 

Any one able to follow up - gnfin/waterboy?

This should not be cause for additional alarm. At phase 5 I think it is safe to assume that the gov't is preparing by mobilizing various assets in case they are needed. 

I hope waterboy checks in - he's a trucker with a cb..maybe he can confirm

Let's hope that following protocol makes a difference.

to us in the uk fema is a bad thing???

right seemed to read up abit on fema....

they dont do anything for mayday do they????

maybe a silly question.....

Considering that the DHS stated they would be reacting to this as if it were a full pandemic, distributing FEMA trailers, mobile medical facilities and even body bags is probably part of the plan they're executing.  Likely there's a check-list of "things to do" and frankly I'd be surprised if FEMA setting up stations near large cities isn't on it.

If you trust FEMA, you can read today's situation update:

http://www.fema.gov/emergency/reports/2009/nat043009.shtm

They state the following:

One quarter of the Strategic National Stockpile of anti-viral medications, personal protective equipment, and respiratory protection devices is being released to the states.

My guess would be that the national stockpile is big, and it might take a few trucks to move 25% of it out to the states, of which we have 50.

If you don't like FEMA, and love conspiracy, just Google "FEMA flu conspiracy" and choose whatever level of reality suits you.

I don't doubt that we aren't getting the whole story, but really, does anyone believe that the government is actually competent enough to pull off a huge conspiracy of any sort?

which hospital does he work at, I work in Pittsburgh. Can you get more information. Thanks

This is waterboy. Got nothin on that... over....
