Lesson learned: During outbreak, don't travel. Have enough to see self and family through, and self quarantine during the outbreak cycle. No one out, no one in. Living in the country in the middle of 100 acres we can sit it out, barring severe emergencies. If we still catch it it, then at least we tried every reasonable thing to avoid contamination.
Don't feed the birds.
WASHINGTON - U.S. bank regulators on Wednesday (3/15) advised financial institutions to have contingency plans in place in case avian flu becomes pandemic.
"Financial institutions and their service providers supply essential financial services and, as such, should consider their preparedness and response strategy for a potential pandemic," the Federal Reserve, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Office of Thrift Supervision said in a statement.
