Michael Leavitt on Pandemic Flu Impact
I found these interview comments by Michael Leavitt, US Secretary of Health and Human Services on the impact of a severe pandemic flu.
The emphasis on food preparedness and having a food reserve for up to 3 months mentioned in the previous post, the food reserve should be considered as a supplementary reserve that can be drawn on throughout the pandemic event when conditions warrant.
As Mr. Leavitt mentions the pandemic will come in waves and last up to a year, so you may need to draw on your food reserve several times until the pandemic runs its course.
