I was not trying to be funny, frankie.

This is quite serious. It's almost been a century since the last major worldwide pandemic. Google "Spanish Influenza", and read about the millions who lost their lives. We're "smarter" now, supposedly.

Although, assessing past performance with disasters, I wouldn't count on my gov't to get it right. Especially at the start. It will come down to being smart on your own, and taking proper precautions. Always protect yourself.

Smart people should have already stashed ample supplies of basic necessities in the event of an emergency. What is in that "kit" will vary from person to person. It always pays to be prepared. bigsmile

Summary:
The devastation of the 1918-1919 influenza pandemic is well known, but a new article suggests a surprising factor in the high death toll: the misuse of aspirin. AThe article sounds a cautionary note as present day concerns about the novel H1N1 virus run high.



I remember,even in the fifties we were fed copious amounts of that stuff by the Family-Physician whenever we had the Flu!
