I think the only thing you can really do with a big (small) scary virus is to make yourself as healthy as you can. Make sure you have plenty of remedies on hand so that you don't have to go anywhere if you catch it. And make sure you have enough food, etc, on hand in case you need to quarantine yourself for a couple of weeks (months) when it hits your neighborhood - especially important if you're in any way immunocompromised.

In any case, worrying about it will decrease your ability to resist it. They are expecting this thing to sweep the world, but then they said this about Swine Flu and Bird Flu... etc. Maybe it will, maybe it won't, but all we can do is prepare.

Thanks for your article.
