This really scares me! We've already been through mrsa so I'm not really panicked about it but I am scared about the bird flu because I know that this is a real possibility. If not bird flu then it will be some other form of virus that will cause a pandemic. I assume that you watch the same programs on TV like I do. It could be something as simple as a new strain of flu. There are a lot of really scary things out there. The drug makers and the governments of all countries don't want to put out the money to produce enough anti-viral medication in case of a pandemic which they pretty much know is going to happen so what the heck are we supposed to do? We try to stay prepared for disasters but some things are just going to be too big. You say that you are prepared, I would truly like to know what you mean. What have you done? A true pandemic is going to bring all commerce to a screeching halt across the world, most medication is manufactured in other countries, food supplies will dwindle, nobody will be working or have money to pay for their utilities if they are even still working. I'm on serious pain meds and couldn't live without them, the pain is way too severe (I'm disabled) and have a few other health problems and my husband is diabetic and has heart problems. What do we do when we can no longer get prescriptions? I'm truly frightened over this very real possibility. I would appreciate any feedback and suggestions. Thank you, Jewels
