Not to create fear, but I think people should take a look at these three articles about the spanish flu.
The first one talks about how it wasn't that bad at first, but then mutated in to a deadly strain by fall. Did you know it lasted 2-years?

The best tools we can have is knowledge. The medical professionals have been making their case, and some of our politicians have been making their own. They're not always on the same page. Armed with information, you can make the choices that will protect you and your family in the weeks and months to come.
Yes, I said months. Even the North American International Auto Show cancelled their show in June (Detroit Auto Show). The building they have it in will be converted in to a hospital. Heck, right now automakers aren't building cars, and are looking to build respirators Instead.
This may be a good year to plant a garden.
