On the upside, I work at home and have a stockpile of supplies. On the downside I'm an Illustrator/Graphic Designer and in such a situation, especially if it were for an extended period of time, I would more than likely have little or no work and since I pretty much live from hand to mouth I would be kicked out of my home where I would most likely be subjected to the H5N1 virus.

I guess a person can really only prepare so much. I could contract Bird Flu before anyone knew what was going on and suggested ways to avoid it...

I've decided I'm as prepared as I can be at the moment so I'm going to go on with my life and not worry about it until it's time to act.

Is it burrying my head in the sand to think this way considering how much I prepare for other eventualities?
