Methinks that somebody somewhere, knows something WE don't and they're both very nervous about it and don't quite know how to still keep the public informed and avoid a national panic. Anybody remember that movie with Charlton Heston called The Omega Man?
Well, I've got mine. Why wait forthe government?
Got mine shortly after 9-11. Just give us the same freedom to buy drugs that the Russians and ChiComs and the Mexicans have you useless morons!!
IIRC, there's no antidote for smallpox. Only prior vaccination will help with smallpox which kills about 1/3 of those infected.
The Omega Man was a cool show.
"Anybody remember that movie with Charlton Heston called The Omega Man?"
Based on the short story "My Name Is Legion" by Robert(?) Matheson(?) IIRC. Last normal human on earth, fighting all the vampires.
As far as USPS goes, not a freaking bit. The only thing they reliably deliver to my place is the third-class advertisement crud. The original spam, in hardcopy. I'm retired AF, and my wife spent the last 15 years of my career moving with me as the Fairy Godmother department willed, including to a base within 15 minutes flight time of the Soviet border. She'd probably rather have the antidotes and immunizations stored here well in advance, and probably shipped via FedEx or UPS.
Let the fools panic. That will mean more stuff for those of us who survive.
Every American should buy a small bottle of Doxycycline. Personal responsiblility works. Besides being the only cure for Anthrax that works, it is the cheapest of anti-biotics at .75 cents a dose.
If we buy our own, it will cost $7.50 per person, if we let the government buy it for us it will cost an additional $100 dollars per person in "distribution costs".
Distribution costs is the politicaly correct word for theft in this case.
