How to prepare for a flu epidemic?

[Gary McGowan]

Britain's The Telegraph reported on an aspect of the British Government's plans to deal with the swine flu epidemic, which has recently increased there. Health experts had originally predicted 65,000 deaths, but reduced that figure in September to 19,000. Nonetheless, the Home Office has "drawn up detailed figures of how the country would cope with large numbers of dead.

A Home Office document raises the prospect of mass graves being dug in inner-city areas where there could be insufficient cemetery plots, crematoria would have to run seven days a week, and funeral services would have to be shortened.

Further, "In its latest newsletter, the Association of Burial Authorities discloses that the Government has asked coffin makers to calculate their spare capacity." Home Office Minister Lord West has discussed plans with the head of an MPs' funeral group. A representative of the group is quoted, "The Government has been preparing for the possibility of an influenza pandemic for a number of years and we are among the most prepared countries in the world."

As an American, I would think we'd best prepare for a flu epidemic with doctors and hospitals, not mass graves and crematoria.

America, mostly the military, are secretly digging mass-graves, as well. Additionally, beware the vaccines, they may give more people a flu and cause death and disease, than they will prevent...... The best I can suggest are personal methods of avoiding crowds and most persons; washing your hands regularly; not shaking hands or touching surfaces others may have touched in the last hour; when it is endemic in your area wearing a 3M #8670F Respirator; boosting your immune system with healthy foods, vitamin and various other supplements [too complex to go into here, and do NOT trust the 'authorities' on this - they are anti-immune boosting with supplements! - and pushing the vaccines - look who owns the companies or has shares in them!!]; and find a physician NOT indoctrinated in Corporate medicine......
