    Re: Do you have 3 months emergency supplies & food?

    Good points and precisely once airborne over here you can bet I am staying put and not going to get out.

    But the Asian countries have dealt with avian flu by killing the chickens where they had a breakout. In the asian countries pigs and ducks
    would easily be the substitute meat. These are the 'backyard'' meats that are cultivated by most.

    There should be pressure for a temporary ban on poultry for a while (just like with the spinach situation) worldwide.

    But I remember the e bola virus originated from monkeys in Africa held great fears of being transmitted worldwide and that never happened.

    This avian thing sounds a bit more likely though.

        I don't think we'd have more than 2 mos worth of canned and frozen food. But I'm wondering how long does a store boughten gallon of water last? I bought some for the Y2K and have maybe 2 or 3 gallons in my basement, you think they're still good after what almost 7 years?
