So my question to you is are you preparing for viral outbreak and what would you do if such an outbreak occurred?

Apart from a few non-reusable masks i haven't put much thought into this in my preps.

Also was wondering would you let such a thing affect your personal life. would you reduce physical contact with spouse or children, go extream and sit in your gas mask or maintain usual contact.

From time to time we have all had these viruses in our lives. As there's no real treatments just the usual info, rest, drink plenty, take pain relief much like the common cold. This is a more serious strain though, usual victims being sick, weak, young, old and people with compromised immune systems. Spread by hand contact, sneezes and coughs. Best prevention is probably isolation, if its serious enough, extreme hand hygeine and maybe masks if you are treating someone in isolation. Problem is holiday time now and with more flights out, more chance of catching it. That's the reason the person was treated in Scotland as they had been next to someone on a plane infected with it. Anti bacteria hand gels, pain killers and disposable masks would make a good prep.
