More Swine flu / Pandemic Preparedness Info

<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1602" title="viramask_n99esc3501" src="/images/uploads/2009/04/viramask_n99esc3501-324x185-custom.jpg" alt="viramask_n99esc3501" width="324" height="185" />Since my post from yesterday regarding <a href="http://www.utahpreppers.com/2009/04/pandemic-preparedness/">Pandemic Preparedness in light of the current Swine Flu outbreak</a>, I've talked to several other preppers and want to provide our readers with more information.  Specifically I want to share some other/better mask information, some great links for info on the virus spreading and to discuss sheltering in/quarantine a bit more.

Pandemic Preparedness - Swine Flu Outbreak

<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1584 scissors-resample" title="pandemic-troops" src="/images/uploads/2009/04/pandemic-troops.jpg" alt="pandemic-troops" width="334" height="214" />With the current <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/topNews/idUSTRE53N22820090426">Swine Flu scare coming out of Mexico</a> and popping up here and there in the United States, it is prudent to become familiar with the situation and especially prudent to review your Pandemic Preparedness Level.  I should also stress that this is a "DON'T PANIC", Just Prepare! post.  <!--more-->So first, let's get to know the player - what is the swine flu?  Well, it's just a variant of the "flu" that makes the round and gets passed around every year.  Thing is, this variant doesn't typically pass to humans so there is not an anti-virus in production or even made yet.  Don't take it from me though, and don't take it from the 'news'.  Here are links to the CDC info and briefs on this situation:

Some First-Aid Kit Examples

<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1397" title="firstaidkits" src="/images/uploads/2009/02/firstaidkits.jpg" alt="firstaidkits" width="280" height="153" />First-Aid Kits are kind of a funny prepper item - there are SO many that you can just go buy that it doesn't seem like a big deal.  Yet, countless people I know barely have a box of band-aids in their home.  Those who do go purchase a pre-made First-Aid Kit don't typically pay much attention to it - it's crossed of their 'list'.  But day to day use of the only medical supplies in the house means that after a year or so the First-Aid Kit is severely depleted and nobody notices until there's a need for it.

Learning From the Pioneers

<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1319 scissors-resample" title="1844_1877_1" src="/images/uploads/2009/02/1844_1877_1.jpg" alt="1844_1877_1" width="304" height="211" />Many know that Utah was originally settled by Mormon Pioneers, I'm a descendant of those pioneers from 8 different family lines on my Mother's side.  The Mormon Pioneers crossed the plains from Missouri to Utah in covered wagons, handcarts and many on foot.  Most of them buried family and loved ones under a pile of rocks on their way here.  It was a harrowing experience the like of which will hopefully never be repeated.
