How to Survive an Impending Killer Flu Pandemic
"The only thing harder than preparing for an emergency is explaining why you didn't."
Flu pandemics occur with predictable regularity,
generally about three per century. The last major
one was in 1918 when approximately 50 million
people died. There were two more of less serious
magnitude in 1957 and 1968.
Today there is a new, extremely virulent strain of
virus ermerging in Southeast Asia which is already
responsible for killing dozens of people. So far
those infected have contracted the illness
directly from birds but health officials are
concerned that if and when the virus mutates so
that it can be passed from human to human it will
lead to a worldwide pandemic far more severe than
that of 1918.
Hope for the best, but plan for the worst...
Addressing the Pan American Health Organization’s
(PAHO) 46th Directing Council meeting in
Washington on September 27, 2005, WHO (World
Health Organization) Director-General, Lee
Jong-wook stated that there will be another
influenza pandemic and failure to prepare for it
appropriately will have “catastrophic
consequences".
“There is a storm brewing that will test us all.
We must anticipate it and prepare to the very best
of our combined ability,” he said.
Perhaps it won't happen. Perhaps it will all
fizzle out and die away. Some believe it's Y2K all over again. They cite the fact that more people are killed by lightning every year than have been killed by the bird flu.
We urge everyone to examine the evidence for themselves. If, after looking at all the facts, you think it's all scare mongering hype, at least you've done your due diligence.
Our conclusion, after examining the facts, is that the danger is far too real to ignore. It costs very little to prepare but it would be disastrous not to if this killer virus ever gets loose.
By preparing now you'll enjoy the peace of mind of knowing that you and your loved ones have the best chance for survival.
What You Can Do to Prepare Now
TAMIFLU - Available once again
to
the general public. Order yours now.
 The only known way to protect yourself
against the virus
is to avoid contact
with it or by preventing it
from
spreading through your body with anti
viral
drugs such as Tamiflu
Fortunately there are a number of steps that every
one of us can take to minimize the risks to
ourselves and our families.
And let's not kid ourselves...we won't be able to
count on the government for help. Hurricane
Katrina taught us that.
Keep Informed. If and when the virus mutates so
that it is being spread from human to human, it is
likely to start in Southeast Asia. Pay attention
to the news. When you hear that this has taken
place, it's time to act. We might have two or
three months before the pandemic reaches North
America, but with international travel so fast and
easy it could be much sooner.
Do not travel to areas where you know the flu
virus is found. The Center for Disease Control
has a website that will give you this
information.
Prepare your Children for Homeschooling. Most
outbreaks get their start at schools. You can be
certain that the schools will be closed. And even
if they're not, you should give very serious
thought to keeping your children at home.
Minimize Contact with Others. The virus can be
transmitted for two days before a person is
showing any symptoms and for a week after symptoms
have disappeared. You never know who isn't and
who might be infected.
Wash Your Hands. The most common way for the flu virus to invade your system is from hand to mouth contact. Every time you touch an object that others have touched you stand the risk of being infected. If someone carrying the virus sneezes in a room, everything will be contaminated. You can easily become infected by just rubbing your eyes or by touching your lips.
It's important to know how to wash your hands.
If you looked at your fingers under a microscope your finger prints would resemble deep canyons. They make ideal places for the H5N1 virus to settle. Just running some water over your hands and giving them a cursory wash only removes the viruses that are on the surface. The ones that lurk deep in the canyons of your finger prints and the creases of your palms need to be scrubbed out with soap and running water, for at least 20 seconds. (Hum Happy Birthday to yourself twice as you wash. ) Afterwards you need to thoroughly rinse the soap away because it will contain trapped pathogens.
Put a QUARANTINE sign on your front door. This will effectively deter any would-be thieves. Here is a sample that you can print out.
Stock up on Food and Water. Most supermakets only
have enough food for about a week. It's critical
that you stock up on enough food to last you for
the duration which could be 3-4 months.
Update your Will. Hopefully this won't be
necessary but not all of us are going to survive.
Get a Flu Vaccination. There is no vaccination
yet for this particular strain of flu but a
vaccination will give you protection from
contracting any other flu which could weaken your
system, making you more prone to fall victim to
the dealier avian strain.
Is it a Cold or is it the Flu?
This is critical to know. If you have an antiviral such as Tamiflu or Relenza it must be administered within 48 hours of symptoms. If you only have a cold, you'll be wasting a very crucial defense.
Here's a great LINK that will help you diagnose which is which. |
Buy Enough Anti-Viral Medication for Every Member
of you Family.
Currently the only drug that can
help mitigate the effects of the avian flu virus
is oseltamivir, otherwise known as Tamiflu. The
world supply is very low, and not nearly adequate
to provide sufficient protection for everyone, so
you should stock up on this drug immediately. You
can buy it online, but do your shopping because
the price varies considerably. And once a
pandemic strikes, it will be impossible to get at
any price. |
Life Insurance. Make sure your life insurance is
adequate, and check the fine print. Some policies
have clauses that don't cover you in the event of
a pandemic.

Stock up on face masks. You will need to wear
these when you absolutely have to come into close
contact with others. It's likely that any public
businesses or government offices that remain open
will make it mandatory that you wear a mask before
entering. Make sure that your mask has a rating
of N95 or higher.
Prepare a quarantine room. If anyone in your
family becomes stricken, he/she should be
immediately moved to a location that is isolated
from the rest of the house. This room should be
as far away as possible and should be stocked with
food and water, medical supplies, sanitation
facilities, communication, cleaning tools,
entertainment (books, radio, TV, etc.)
Communication. There's a good chance that TV and
radio stations will no longer be able to broadcast
if there is a power failure in your area. A good
quality battery operated radio, capable of
receiving short wave stations will enable you to
stay informed of developments in the outside
world.
Power. There could be an extended interruption to
your electric power. You should consider
alternative lighting and heating methods.
Battery, propane, kerosine, and gasoline
generators are possible options.
Protection. New Orleans showed us how quickly
civilization breaks down under catastrophic
conditions. And that was mild in comparison to
what we could be facing in a pandemic. The bottom
line is this: most people won't take the
necessary steps to prepare for disaster. And once
it hits, they will be panic stricken. And they
will do anything to try to save themselves. Which
includes trying to take whatever you have that
they might want.
You will need to have some means to protect your
family. If you own firearms, make sure you are
stocked up with ammunition. Remember, you won't
be able to call a patrolman if you find an intruder
on your property.
Find a Place in the Country. If you live in the
city, you will be surrounded by anarchy.
Catastrophes such as this always lead to civil
disorder. If you can escape the city you will be
much safer. If you don't have one, consider
purchasing a trailer. If you can't afford it,
consider a tent.
"Up to one billion people could die around the
whole world in six months.... We are half a step
away from a worldwide pandemic catastrophe."
Dmitry K. Lvov, Director, D.I. Ivanovsky Institute
of Virology, Russian Academy of Medical Sciences.
Whether or not it will happen this year, and
whether or not it will be as catastrophic as many
virologists are predicting, one thing is clear:
There WILL be a pandemic of unimaginable
proportions some time soon.
We can either bury our heads in the sand and hope
it won't happen, or we can begin taking immediate
steps to ensure that in a worst case scenario,
we've given ourselves and our loved ones the best
possible chance for survival.
Please tell all your friends, relatives, loved ones and acquaintances
about the dangers of a flu pandemic. The more people who are
forwarned and properly prepared, the safer it will be for all of us. Let
them know that they can sign up for this newsletter at
