Pandemic

I'll look at you site when I get time but my view is that we could improvise infant respirators and that would solve that issue. getting into them before it is too late is more of an issue though.

if there is a pandemic we are going into "isolation" mode, staying away from other people, we've got enough food to last 6 months possibly longer if we use "portion control"!

The virus can remain active for over 6 weeks, particularly in damp conditions.

Staying away from other people may be only part of a solution, as anything delivered must be regarded as contaminated and has to be de-contaminated with 10% bleach and all the UK super markets only sell concentrations below 5%. Not one single UK supermarket recommend their bleach for purifying water because of the additives.

Look into commercial antibacterial sanitizer spray & wipes.

Kills 99.999% of germs. For the 0.001% that get through, you'll have to take a chance

new medication that would automatically be issued to registered people bugging in ?. How are you going to get government issues of food ?

the govt does NOT have any food stocks of its own, the very least they will do in an emergency is EXPECT the supermarkets to supply the food!

We have not had conscription in Uk, for many years now but there is provision in law for it, during an 'emergency'. The latest version is The Civil Contingencies Act of 2004, which loosely interpreted means that if 'they' declare an emergency citizens rights are suspended for the duration.

What does this really mean ?. Well, one can expect the casualty rate among the police and army to be about the same as for civillans and there are not going to be enough left on their feet to control the civillian populace. This shortfall will probably be rectified by importing foreign mercenries. Their plan is that Law and order will prevail ... at any cost.

One way to keep the populace quiet is to make sure that water, electricity, gas, telephnes etc ... continue to work .... despite an estimated 60% reduction in able bodied manpower. In any urban area there will be thousands of bodies to be disposed of every day and the security services will be too busy to do it. Supermarkets and other public places will have to be closed to prevent the virus spreading, so how do the unprepared get their food and medication ?. The answer in both cases is conscription of able bodied civillians. Those who have previously caught the virus and survived will be especially sort after to care for the infected, since they will be immune until the next mutation.

There is nothing new with this and the last time it happened was in 1947, when all able bodied men in the fens had to turn out in the storm to fill sandbags.

with the attitude of the modern 21st Century population, NO ONE will turn up even if they are conscripted, and there wont be enough Army or Police to enforce it, nice try, but we are definitely on our own here, dont expect the govt to come running to the rescue like the 7th Cavalry cos it aint gonna happen!
