~ With the Swine flu one level from turning into a pandemic, how soon would you start to buy at least a 2 to 3 week supply of non perishables, and necessities ? What should we be buying and is 2 to 3 weeks worth enough? If this turns into a pandemic, it is possible that local stores will be so short handed, that they will be limited to store hours, deliveries can be delayed even come to a stand still if it does spread as fast as the CDC is expecting. I would just like to be prepared.

My family is planning to go to parts of China (Beijing, Hong Kong, Hainan Island etc.) and maybe Japan or Taiwan this summer. With the swine flu outbreak, would you still go or cancel the vacation?
Thanks for everyone's input!

Conservatives expressed great desire to shut down the borders; was that a prudent position?

Question Details: I am a public health -epidemiology PhD student. I would like to research pandemic preparedness but I am having a hard time fitting epidemiology into the topic of pandemic preparedness. Everything I have thought about seems so community health based. Any and All suggestions and thougts are appreciated. Thanks

They announced that it's phase 5, and I know that Phase 6 means "full scale pandemic," but what does that mean SPECIFICALLY?
Would we have to masks like they do in Mexico City?
Would school be canceled?
Would they tell us not to go out?

People are already panicking just because a couple hundred people are infected and a few have died, sadly. How bad do you think the panic would be if we went from a level 5 to a level 6- which means a full on pandemic. How would people react?

I know this seems like a strange question and I assure you, I'm not a total hypochondriac but I was just watching TV and saw all of the adults in Mexico walking around in surgical masks and wondered what they are using on the babies, infants and toddlers? I have an 11 month old and I know for sure she wouldn't tolerate anything being on her face.
Also, even though they have said that pork is safe to eat still, will any of you be eliminating your families diet?

Officials are planning to use volunteers (who would be given training) to help care for patients during a flu pandemic when there is person to person transmission.
Right now the fatality rate is over 60% worldwide and 85% in Indonesia.
We won't have a vaccine for 6 to 9 months into a pandemic and antiviral drugs will be in short supply.
Would you be willing to help take care of patients during a pandemic?

everyone is saying that we would have to stay in our homes but i doubt that so what would happen??and would we get oober cool mouth mask things??

If I work at a in patient (meaning that people live there) residential treatment center for people recovering from drugs and alcohol and the swine flu goes to a level 6, will I be allowed to stay home from work? And if so, would the residents of the center be allowed to go home to their families or would they have to quarantine here at the center. Thank you in advance for your answers

Someone said this and I was wondering why.

I know Republicans are so dead set against Universal Health care . People with out medical care will certainly spread disease with out even knowing it . Poor working class people who can not afford Medical insurance will certainly go to work with the flu or risk losing their income . People who work at restaurants drive a cab or work at a grocery store (who handle money BTW ) seldom have health INS. This is how the flu spreads so quickly.

My friend told me (I dont know where he picked it up from) that all country to country travel would be stopped if phase 6 was activated. Is this true?

It was a map of the country with little red dots where we could expect to see concentrations of the swine flu. First person to give me a working link to this map will get full stars.

I have two root cellars in separate rooms with concrete walls off to the sides of my main cellar. I was thinking about preparing one of them in case of an emergency situation like a pandemic or other catastrophic event where my infant daughter and I would be stuck inside my basement for some time. Neither root cellar has any windows, just concrete walls and one currently has boards covering the dirt floor. I would very much appreciate the help and advice. Thanks!
Oh, and I live in CT, if that helps.

and what would the cause of it be?

Not just Swine Flu - but anything on a similar level.
What does the media propose to benefit from doing so?
