Thoughts on Flu Pandemic and Survival Planning for Disease Outbreaks [ 39:00 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | DownloadI recently received a request to do a show on the potential risk of an influenza outbreak (global flu pandemic) and was able to quickly put a show together on it. What is interesting is that the governments official advice is remarkably similar to the fundamental preparations that survivalists discuss every day.
I encourage you to take this threat seriously because a pandemic is one of those risks that is not an “if” but simply a “when” and by what particular means. Tune into todays show to hear my thoughts on,
- The shocking death statistics from three pandemics in the last 100 years from flu outbreaks
- The high death rate of infected parties by the H5N1 Avian Flu
- Why world governments are truly alarmed by the potential out break of the bird flu
- Why we can’t create a vaccine for a flu strain until it is really to late
- Why we have not yet had a case of avian flu in the U.S.
- The real economic impact of a true flu or other pandemic
- The real need for a quarantine in such an outbreak even a government enforced one
- Why food storage is so important for this potential threat
- Why even the power grid and water system may be at risk
- The people most at risk to the economic threat that will come from the flu threat
- Why your job is at risk and how you have no protection from termination during a quarntine
- The importance of having the choice to self quarantine before one is ordered
- The fantasy land some people live in that denies the horrific reality of a true pandemic
- Why the aftermath will be something the government can’t “bail us out of”
