The government has issued several reports and guidelines to help families prepare for a swine flu pandemic, should it happen. They are recommending stocking up on supplies such as hand sanitizers, masks, vaccinations, emergency food reserves, etc.
Coupled with everything that seems to be on the horizon as far as a coming food shortage, and emergency situations, it does make sense to prepare ourselves or at least have an emergency preparedness plan that is in place.
When an outbreak like Swine or Asian flu hits, a whole city can be quarantined for several weeks, and many of us will be quite relieved if we have enough food laid up to last through that.'
During a pandemic, what often happens is that there is a rush for emergency supplies, which quickly vaporizes them. And usually the civilian or government supplies are only for a short term and remaining reserves are distributed quickly.
They HIGHLY recommend stocking up on emergency items NOW before panic buying occurs and the "breakout" announcement is made on the 6 o'clock News.
If there is, in fact, a Swine Flu outbreak, the demand will be huge for things like food reserves, breathing masks, etc...
Symptoms of Swine or Asian Flu include:
fever
cough,
sore throat
muscle aches
eye infections
pneumonia
severe respiratory diseases
The symptoms of avian influenza may depend on which specific virus subtype and strain caused the infection.
As with anything that happens in life, do not panic! Simply prepare for the worst and the worst case scenario is that you will have emergency supplies on hand for come what may, for the next 30 years!
PREPARE NOW while time is still on your side and you can get the preparedness supplies you and your family need, and you will never HAVE the need to panic!
