<h1>Prepare Now for Dangers of the Bird Flu Pandemic Chaos</h1>

In a bird flu pandemic, more people might die from other causes
than from bird flu itself.
Even if you've stocked up your home with all the food, water and
immune system boosting herbs you'll need for the next 3 months and
you're all set to sit there and read WAR AND PEACE until the bird
flu virus burns itself out -- you could still be at great risk.
If you really want to live through the bird flu pandemic, you
better have a plan to avoid human germs as well as the bird flu
virus.
On a bird flu discussion forum, someone recently posted this
advice -- stop telling your neighbors you're storing food and water
for the bird flu pandemic. Stop trying to convince them to do the
same thing. Make your preparations in secret. Because when there's
no more food at the grocery store, and their kids are hungry,
they're going to remember that you've stored food -- and they're
going to come knocking at your door.
Truly sad words, but they obviously have a truth to them.
You definitely must think just as hard about the nature of your
neighbors as about the nature of bird flu itself.
You must assume that law and order as we take it for granted now
will not exist or will be enforced only sporadically.
Your local police are 95% great people with a strong sense of
duty. But some of them will catch bird flu too and some will die
from it. Some of them will feel their greatest duty is to protect
their own families. Others will stay on the job but will be too
stretched and stressed out to keep order on every square block of
their territory. This is especially true of rural areas. And you
cannot depend on the 911 system, which will likely be overwhelmed.
And if they're no dispatchers to take calls and send messages --
and no more ambulance drivers or police cars available -- what good
is it?
At some point the government may step in and declare martial
law, but we don't have enough soldiers to stand on every street
corner in the world.
Many neighborhoods will band together for mutual protection.
Many people will band together so they can loot and kill with
impunity.
Some people will surprise you. Some gangbangers will use their
guns and street organization to defend the people in their
hood.
Some "nice" people will take advantage of the lack of civilized
constraints to do some not so nice things.
If your neighbors already know you're a bird flu kook, it's too
late now to start preparing in secret -- and probably it doesn't
matter.
Because if your neighbors get together and decide to go house to
house, how're you going to stop them?
And I don't mean they'll be doing it for bad reasons. Neighbors
should be keeping tabs on each other to see who's got bird flu. Who
needs food cooked and delivered to their door. Who has small
children who need watching.
I can understand the stock up on supplies and lock up the door
against the world mentality -- I pretty much share it.
But realistically, you'll stand a better chance of surviving the
pandemic if your neighborhood works together -- including you.
Because many neighborhoods are going to have to defend
themselves against outsiders -- and you don't want to be seen as an
outsider who just happens to live on the same block.
You want to be seen as one of the group. As someone smart enough
to foresee the pandemic and prepare for it, you should assume a
leadership role.
The better you get along with your neighbors now, despite being
laughed at for storing food, the more likely you are to keep enough
of that food and water for your family.
If your neighbors really are the kind of people you don't want
knocking at your door (and I've lived in neighborhoods like that,
myself) -- then plan now to get out.
You should do what you can to get out of such a neighborhood
anyway, bird flu or no bird flu.
