Survivalist mode

Not to sound too wacky, but we've started stockpiling canned food "just in case". This whole H5N1 avian flu pandemic potential has me more than spooked.

I found a good article talking about how everything was effected due to the 1918 pandemic.

When you have two prominent reporters (who have been in combat zones) saying that they're going to stockpile so they can ride out the pandemic, I think it would be prudent to do likewise.
