How would you react to a pandemi?

[silver 2039]

I would leave Bangalore and go somewhere else.

What would you do if you heard people started dying in heaps in China, India or Mexico or your own country? Have you already made plans if something like this would happen? Would you run for the woods or stay home and hope for the best? Have you bought any bird-flu medicin or stocked up on conserves or anything?

How long would you survive if no vaccin or medicin would do any good?

Are there any other catastrophies that could follow such an event? If North Korea lost 90% of their population and their neighbouring countries, for example South Korea, were saved because of a medicated population - would nukes go off?

I have already been undergoing preparations for scenerios like these and others. I cannot and will not go into depth, but at this time, I am NOT prepared, and would be focked.

I've had far worse headaches than diseases for years, this pandemic will be forgotten in my throes of pain.

I thought Solanum the latin name for potatos and the like?

Indeed it is: Solanum tuberosum is the scientific name for potatoes, and is part of the nightshade family (Solanaceae). I think the name might have something to do with the fact that some members of the nightshade family are used in voodoo potions to create "living zombies".

Interesting. Are you having a problem with a suitable base of operations as well?

Haha, solanum is also the name of a fictional virus that causes clinical death and then reanimation with higher brain functions impeded, ergo you become a zombie.

Just having a little fun.

If a real pandemic with no vaccine hit I'd be in trouble. Being in the military it would be my duty to provide services, so I think my likelihood of catching it would greatly increase. However, I'd protect my family by having them stay home and not going there until it was over.
