This is exactly how we’ve been warned that a pandemic would begin. First you hear about it on foreign soil (we were expecting Asia or Europe, but I think Mexico qualifies), then on the east and west coasts.

I wonder why 37,430 courses. Why not 50k or 500k?

Hmmmm... number of Registered Republicans in the area of concern?

Yes, this would not be a whimsical request by the governor.

That is probably the number of medical professionals deemed essential to handle a pandemic.

Sure am glad he is on top of this. Perry is very good in emergencies. I feel a bit safer with him in charge right now. Maybe he will finally close the border....lol.

I expect to see something in Northern Virginia soon, in either Arlington or Fairfax Counties.

Arlington is an illegal alien sanctuary county run by hard core Socialists.

So why does this seem different than the SARS panic? Sometimes I get paranoid for no reason other than I live in a strange country now (post-11/4/08).

Is this media hype or are they keeping something from us?

Sometimes he tends to over prepare but I would rather have the meds available and not need them, than to need them and they aren’t available.

With Obama in charge, they are likely keeping something from us. Just because we are paranoid doesn’t mean we aren’t being followed...lol.

It really is scary..especially with the bozos in charge of our government now.

We shouldn't have to ask for it. The gov't stock piled this stuff just for these emergencies.

They can't go off and give it to one state and not another.

Me too. Not always a big fan of Perry, but he has done good in emergencies and he won’t take any crap from the federal government.

Each state may be allotted a certain number from the stockpile. He could be requesting 1/3 of his allotment or (shrieks in real horror)all that will be available for Texas.

Fighting and turning against each other plays right in to a panic resulting in a ML. Relax. A lot Clinics in your state and mine already have stock of this on hand. I don't know about you though but when it comes to the “federal government” stockpiling and supplying as they see fit vs states taking precautions themselves it's a no brainer for me. Texas is not well liked by DC right now anyway but an Arkansas reply like that surprises me . Do you really believe we wouldn't help a neighbor in need?

No one is fighting and turning on each other...yet.

If our Gov't came out and made the statement that they have opened up their supply of Tamiflu to ALL the US States, then people would feel abit more secure.

Show me where I said NOT to help Texas.

If your governor requested this, I would think, hmm...good idea. Maybe we should too. I guess we just see things differently.
