How To Be Prepared

There is only so much you can do.

1) Practice healthy hygiene
2) Stay in as much as practical / avoid sick people
3) Stock up on necessities (don’t go overboard — just make sure you have what you need around so you don’t have to worry about it if things get worse)
4) Make a plan which assumes the worst but hopes for the best.  If anything does happen you won’t have to figure out what to do on the spot.  Part of your plan should include contact information and addresses of resources available to you (i.e., medical resources)
5) Acquire Tamiflu
6) Get a mask: see this Scientific American article on masks
7) Follow the guidance of your local news / local authorities
