Today at the Clearinghouse we had a guest lecturer speak on Terrorists, Hurricanes, and Viruses: What's next? I wasn't able to attend (because of the girls) but I watched it as a Webcast. He discussed the ramifications of a pandemic from various viruses--such as the Avian Flu. He said that a vaccine cannot be developed until the virus has mutated. At this point, it is expected that there will be 3-6 months (at a minimum) period to develop a vaccine to treat the mutated virus. There might be some degree of quarantine during this period of time.
What it tells me: FOOD STORAGE is going to be super important!!! We might all want to re-evaluate our efforts to fulfill this vital commandment!
