Why in hell would I want to store canned tuna? That crap is nasty.
 And why is he suggesting those particular things specifically? I didn't think tuna or cows could get bird flu.

The Mrs is going tomorrow and buy masks. And more stock up supplies are on the weekly shopping list.
What kind of anitbiotics fight the birdflu? |

Long term protein. Milk for infants. Avian influenza would cause supply problems.
Better stock up. I am including Spam and the like in my provision stocks plus ammo for hunting. |

If you're interested, check out the Survival Forum.
Anybody know which stocks to buy to take advantage of this latest pronouncement? Which corporation owns Starkist? Bah, it's probably too late anyhow. I'll just buy some to store next to my plastic sheeting and duct tape.... |

Well, apparantly it ain't a rumor, unless ABC News got fooled by it. abcnews.go.com/GMA/AvianFlu/story?id=1716820&page=1 Holy hell. How is there NOT going to be panic buying in the stores now? |

Did you miss this part of the article ? The bird flu virus, to date, is still not easily transmitted to humans |

Stock up on Tamiflu and the other newer thing, can't remember its name.
I don't think there is any big problem with supply right now. Better get it now, next month who knows. |

No I didn't miss that, but what does that have to do with my post? With government officals saying crap like that, people are going to panic. If he actually said it, it's not a rumor, now is it? |

The kitchen pantry isn't secure enough, and the infected birds will find it there!! Didn't you see the Hitchcock movie!?!?!?! I have no freakin' clue. It sounds more like something The Onion would report. I checked CNN and Foxnews' sites, and they have articles about him making a speech over the weekend about birdflu, but no mention of tuna and milk. I wonder if someone at ABC is having a bit of not-so-harmless fun?

Give the "Tuna Fillet in Olive Oil" a try - It's a lot tastier than that packed-in-water crap, and yet still costs only about a buck a can. |

If you get the flu and it results in pneumonia, is that pneumonia usually bacterial or viral? What antibiotic would be best if it is bacterial?

It's a flu--a virus. Antibiotics are as useful as water, perhaps less so. Jim |

None. Since the H5N1 triggers a "cytokine storm", I've been idly wondering whether a medication that suppresses cytokine production, such as Prednisone, might help. But, then, I don't have even remotely enough knowledge about that stuff to do any real research on it. |

There is still Tamiflu out there. Right now I'm looking at 8 boxes of capsules on the shelf and 6 bottles of the liquid. This is all our hospital pharmacy gas in stock, but we ordered some from our wholesaler last week and had no problem getting it.
If the H5N1 develops resistance (and it probably will) the Tamiflu will be useless. The best thing everybody can do is have enough consumables on hand (food, water, toiletries, medicine) to just STAY THE HELL AT HOME when or if a flu outbreak occurs. This will break the chain of transmission and shorten the outbreak significantly. |
