Incredible weapons and ammo not mentioned.

Bleach also was not mentioned. 7 days? If the crap hits the fan, you best have more than 7 days.

There would be widespread panic, and the phone numbers and stuff listed would be useless. Do you venture out? Will the places be manned?

If there was radio, TV and the Internet in 1918, I bet there would have been widespread panic and riots. The information highway has many great uses, but it also can spread fear and panic and riots that would not happen when info was not spread so quickly, as in 1918.

"Incredible weapons and ammo not mentioned."


I thought the same thing.

With guns and ammo you can "barter" (Bwahahahahahaha) for everything else you need.

Why would there be any more need for weapons and ammo? If anything, the streets will be safer as sick people stay indoors and other people decide to hole up at home until the problem passes.

Not at all. In Happyland USA (where ABC News is headquartered), during a pandemic everyone would come out into their yards, share all their food and supplies, and them join hands and sing, "I'd like to buy the world a Coke!"

We also have a little thing that they didn't have in 1918...vaccinations.

I'm sure there will be plenty of places opened by looters. Maybe they will help you at the check out counter.
