Heard on the radio, a scientist was saying that the last flu pandemic was in 1918. With records kept at that time, the estimated number of deaths was 30 million but she said, 50 million was more accurate. She stated that every hundred years, there are two minor pandemics and one major one. She said that the bird flu is now primed or evolved for the next one hundred year pandemic which will sweep across the USA in waves over three weeks and will kill hundreds of millions world wild because---the virus has evolved to withstand temperatures over 98.6. She said that when the flu stikes, the US will become inoperative because half the population will be at home. The hospitals will not be able to handle the load and the infrastructure and services will have no one to work them. When the pandemic hits the US, you'll need to have three months of supplies, food and water stored in your home until it finishes. Be prepared to stay home for at least three months. And don't forget the guns when the neighbors come over, sick as a dog, wanting your stuff.
