New Deadly Flu Erupts

I think that by the time the officials announce that there is a pandemic, it'll be too late for the masses. Because it has to be widespread and killing right and left first I believe.

 

One of the precious values of the internet. My wife is not cyber minded and tells me news a day or two after it is known here.

 

I think of all the 'doomsday' scenarios, a pandemic would be the longest to recover from, even if it would be over quicker than others, because the mass casualties would take a few generations to regain the population. But on the bright side, there'd be a lot less unemployed!

 

A retired gent I knew as a kid had a saying: "let the goobermint feed you and the Lord lead you". Do not know if he was not a wiser fellow than folks gave him credit for. Seems over 50% of the population is following his first part. Should a pandemic hit I wonder how filled the "handout" centers would be. Not planning on being anywhere near a populated area. My brother has his retreat strongly gated. My gates are stored but the pipes are cemented into place and ready. We can shut down the farm quickly if need be.

 

Let the sheep have there feed, net the ants store, and the Eagles fly.
