Re: What FluTrackers Are Personally Doing About H7N9
Unfortunately here in Italy there is little an individual can do for prepping purposes, as the lack of cash is overwhelming an increasing amount of people.
Recent statistics demostrated that at least 1 in 4 elderly people received a monthly retirement allowance of less than 1,000 euros (often less, around 500-to-700 euros).
In addition, a 12% rate of unemployment is decimating personal and families incomes.
The new cabinet will be formed in days and the main target is to cut further public health expenditures and infrastructures maintainance.
For my part I can only do things as I used to do in the same circumstances in the past:
-- replenish my stock of surgical masks;
-- purchase some additional boxes of zanamivir;
-- collect and stock chronic conditions drugs;
-- gloves, detergents for pavement, surfaces and toilets.
-- other drugs for fever, nausea and vomiting as needed.
These activities may help to cope with distressing situations but - when in the midst of a crisis - a dose of luck is also useful.
In overcrowded places like cities it was, it is and it will be difficult to avoid large epidemics consequences.

Therefore, I have added or plan to add those to my stores. 
), but that's about it. So we came up with the idea of his work kit - something that he can keep at work that is stocked with things to make him more comfortable and provide maximum PPE and hygiene. It's been about a year since we rotated the contents so I had him bring it home. We'll be working on refreshing and restocking that over the next couple of weeks.
