Utah preparing in case of a swine flu outbreak

If we did reach the point of being quarantined, what would we wish we hand on hand? Anything that you get for that situation is something you could use anytime, so it isn't a wasted effort/expense.
A little soup, crackers, juice, applesauce, gatorade, 7-up, etc. is a start. When I was sick the kids had lots of extra responsibility, so I purchased a lot of paper products to make life easier on them if it happens again.
Some easy to prepare meals for the healthy family members isn't a bad idea either. There is a lot of extra work when there are sick people to care for.
Good grief!!!!
Have you not ever read the bible? If in fact this turns out to be an epidemic or pandemic, think on this. Sodom and Gomorrah...all people turned to ash. Why? They were wicked, evil, practicing all manner of things contrary to the way God intended. God has a way of cursing the earth when He sees people not living their lives contrary to His teachings. This could be a curse, everyone. It simply could be...
The swine flu has killed 150 people so far. It may kill up to several hundred more.
In contrast, the regular flu kills 200,000 people EACH YEAR.
Nothing to see here.....move along.
How convenient.....
I'd hate to die of Swine Flu, because of its name. they need a more medical term for it, so that people don't die of shame when they catch it.
The 1918 Pandemic had three waves. The first began in March and was weak, killing few people. People were not concerned. During the end of August, the virus had mutated and the second wave was extremely dangerous and killed millions. The third wave was the next spring and was also deadly.
Scientists that I have talked to agree with the CDC that at this point there is no way to know what this virus will do. I am very calm but part of the reason I am so, is because I have educated myself on this and have made precautions for my family in the event of an eventual pandemic.
I am a Christian and do believe Biblical prophecies. There are multiple prophecies of last day plagues so for any who believe scripture, it would be foolish to not be prepared.
Is this one going to be one of the prophetic plagues? I don't know...and you don't know. Be prepared.
2. Don't be afraid to live life like you always have.
3. Don't believe everything the media tells you.
The whole thing is Bush's fault.
Good people may, and probably have, died from this.
If righteousness were rewarded so easily and wickedness punished so swiftly, our world would be full of good people. According to you, anyone that has lost a job in this economy deserved it for being wicked, then. Does that sound fair?
Everyone dies eventually, dude. Or do you think only the wicked die? I guess we'll know when your time comes.
