Hi, an American friend of mine who has recently got the job of disaster co-ordinator for his college has really got a hair up his jacksie about the coming avian flu epedemic. Claims predictions of a billion dead world-wide and that the UK is already looking or extra
morgue space.
He is quietly advising all his friends to stockpile food and water for at least 3 months (and weapons to protect it with)together with fuel for generators, prescription medicines etc, together with a drug, Tamiflu, which is supposed to aleviate the effects of the flu if you get it.
My first inclination was to write him off as a newly minted nut along with all the other survivalist sweethearts we have around here but what do I know? Nothing, and this guy has researched it as part of his job and is quite seriously doing it for himself and family.
Anybody out there with some real knowledge about all this that can give me a second opinion as my wife is taking it very seriously and pushing me to do likewise?
(No survivalist nuts please, just folks with some research and factual knowledge behind them
Thanks
