A couple days ago, Mexican officials found out that something wrong was going on with sick people.
After sending samples of the influenza they found, it was sent to Canada to be tested by Canadian scientists...the Mexican Government was later told the influenza is new, deadly and viral.
Of course, after reading multiple sources of international news ( thanks to being bilingual)
i noticed this new strain of influenza was mix of Avian, Swine and Human flu.
I was perplexed. If you scroll down to read my previous blog posts you will noticed i said we need to be ready to face biological attacks or a pandemic, whether it was man-made(engineered) or natural. I do not want to sound like a paranoid conspiracy theorist but Who knows? this might possibly be a 'terrorist' attack by a rogue person, it could be an engineered virus; or it could simply be the fact that a human who already had normal influenza somehow interacted with an animal that either had avian or swine flu, thus becoming a host for the three flu's which then mutated into what now is a viral Human-to-human influenza. Always keep an open mind.
What is it that they found?
The hybrid virus was found to be swine flu mixed with avian flu and human flu.
- swine influenza: (an acute and highly contagious respiratory disease of swine caused by the orthomyxovirus thought to be the same virus that caused the 1918 influenza pandemic)
wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn - Swine Flu (or Swine influenzavirus (SIV) flu) refers to a subset of Orthomyxoviridae that creates influenza in pigs and are endemic in pigs. This is not a phylogenetics based taxonomic category.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swine_flu - Late in 1975, four Army recruits fell ill with a new strain of influenza, dubbed "swine flu," that was believed related to the pandemic ...

This Hybrid virus is not only a problem for Mexico. They have found people infected with this hybrid virus in California, Texas and i also read that they might have found someone infected in New York.
The Mexican military and others are handing out surgical masks to citizens in order to prevent more spreading of the hybrid virus. Some schools have shut down and other public places have shut down as well. Public events were cancelled. The Mexican President and Minister of Health spoke to the Public and warned them about the dangers. The international World Health Organization has shown concern as well. They are taking this seriously.
This Hybrid virus has now killed over 60 people and infected thousands, i am using this event to show my family that the preparations i made months ago were important, and although my mom was aware and supported the idea and helped me stock food...i am still using this event to further show her we need to invest more in our emergency preparation. So if the virus were to spread and cause an actual World Pandemic- i would be prepared to shelter myself at home and survive because of the supplies i have accumulated for survival (food,water, emergency supplies,etc).
This brings me to also warn all of you that a lack of preparation and survival items will put you in grave danger. YOU MUST invest in preparing yourself for a possible catastrophe at any time, whether it is an Earthquake, chemical,nuclear,biological attacks, Pandemic, solar storm, any type of other disasters....you must be ready for survival. A small pathetic first-aid kit will not do shit for your survival. You must have enough food to last a month in case you need to isolate yourself and will not be able to buy food at stores. You must have enough emergency supplies in a bag(backpack or travel bag) so you can use that as a Bail-out Bag, the bail-out bag is crucial and needed when you have to leave your home or any other place that might be in danger.
I cannot stress enough the importance of preparation and survival.
This is no game, you are not reading the words of some crazed conspiracy theorist who lives in the woods. You are reading the words of a normal 19 year old who lives in a city.
The fact that i prepare myself for future disaster does not make me "crazy" or "paranoid" in any way, it only makes me more likely to survive a disaster. If this Hybrid virus spreads more, chances are that this might turn into a pandemic....and when a pandemic hits- NO ONE IS SAFE.
The very second i read or hear the news mention that the flu has been detected in my City....that will be the very second i demand my parents to remove my siblings from School, i do not care if the school administrators dislike my decision- it is a decision someone with common sense would make....because in case you do not know, Schools have thousand of kids; and if a sick kid went to school with a viral virus, the school would rapidly turn into a cesspool of infections which would risk the health of my siblings. I have talked to my young sister and mother and asked them to be vigilant and aware of their surroundings and to report any suspicious activity. I have also told my sister that the very second i notice the hybrid flu has reached our area, it will be time for her to be retracted from school. I urge you to take the same steps if you have family members in school as well, it will prevent your relatives from getting infected...and remember, it only takes one infected person to spread the virus - once a single relative is infected, you and others are in risk of getting infected as well.
This is NOT a good time for a pandemic...with millions of people out of jobs and money, a pandemic would worsen things around the world; food supplies would be halted from being transported(and this is why you need to have STORED FOOD at home).
The immune system of many jobless,homeless people would weaken because of the lack of nutrients and vitamins they will not be able to consume since they would not be able to buy enough food. This puts them in more danger.
Schools, Malls, other public places would shut down causing the economy to spiral down-wards and worsen. If the economy worsens because of a possible pandemic, it would cause a rise in crimes and theft(think people stealing food, etc) and might also be a pre-cursor to Civil Unrest.
Hospitals would be over-crowded with thousands of people, and those who might not get care at the hospital will drop dead resulting in mass death rates around the world.
Simple said.....it would be a catastrophe.
I am urging you to start preparing now if you have not.
Stock up on canned food, water, and vitamins or medication you use (stock up on formula if you have a baby). I am asking you to do something so simple that can save your life and the lives of your family members.
Here is a short list of what ONE individual needs for a month of survival:
At least 8 gallons(try to make it 10 gallons if possible) of water for each person.
40 canned goods for each person (canned goods such as Beans, tuna, salmon, fruit, vegetables)
You must make sure the canned goods have an expiration date of at least two years or more.
Buy canned goods that expire until 2012 or longer.
Two canned goods that last for a long time are Salmon and Spam meats. Spam can last up to four years when stored. So yes, you meat eaters will not suffer at all, lol. (I am vegetarian and i am willing to eat meat for survival, so you other vegetarians will too, unless you prefer to be dumb and die).
Peanut butter is a must, it is something that you will enjoy during survival mode. Peanut butter mostly lasts for one year, so make sure you do not eat expired peanut butter.
Oatmeal, buy boxes of oatmeal and cereal - enough to last you a month.
You must buy enough food, and have enough water to last you a month.
If you are not stocked up on food , YOU MUST START STOCKING UP NOW, not next week, not next month, NOW.
Here is a short list of things you need to stock up on a lot for the whole family:
- Rice
- Dried beans
- Powdered milk
- oil (virgin oil)
- canned vegetables and fruits
- canned meats like tuna, spam, and salmon.
- Sugar, syrup and honey. ( During flu season try not to overeat too much sugar)
- spices
- salt
- Beef Jerky
-Peanut butter
- Oatmeal
- canned soups( Those noodle soups(Maruchan Ramen noodles that come in boxes work as well)
- flour, baking powder and baking soda.
- WATER ( The most important thing you need for survival. Literally.)
I know you might say " How the fuck do you expect me to get all that?".
Well, it took me LESS than 2 months to stock up on enough food for me, my mom, and my two young siblings, we now have enough food to last us a month.
Start by halting your wasteful spending. Stop buying worthless crap. Invest your money on preparations from now on. A new shirt or a new pair of shoes will not feed you. Invest your money on food for survival. Little by little you will notice you will have enough stocked food for a month. If you have a big family, of course, it might take longer....but tell each relative to invest on their life, make a small fund for survival; Each relative must give $50 for food for example. Remind them this is for SURVIVAL, not for games. If they are too selfish or idiotic to not invest money on their survival.....that is their fault and not yours, do not let them stop you from preparing yourself, become a leader and take the steps necessary to ensure your survival and the survival of those who are willing to listen to you.
If you have $50 right now...guess what? You have enough money to buy enough canned food to last YOU a month. This is not hard at all, it is common sense. You must take this Hybrid virus as a warning, it is your chance to start realizing we do not live in a Utopia were we all are safe and were the government is here to protect us. No. You have to become independent and as an individual take the actions that are needed for the protection of your health and wellbeing.
The hybrid virus is a forewarning of what will come in the future. Panic, fear, death, misery.
This hybrid virus is here to show you that you must NOW take the steps towards investing in your survival needs.
I know people ridicule those of us who take precautions , they call us "crazy", "paranoid", and many other things. These are ignorant imbeciles who do not take responsibility and the same people who want to believe we live in a utopia and that nothing bad will ever happen. But this has not stopped me from preparing myself and my family for disasters. Do not let certain idiots discourage you. These are the same people who will regret their stupidity when a disaster strikes and they have no food or water, they will beg people for assistance. Do not let that be you, Do not be a dumb ignorant imbecile like them. Be a leader.
Even if this hybrid virus does not become a world pandemic....trust me.....the future will be no heaven. I urge you to stop being delusional and ignorant and begin preparations for coming disasters of the future. This is your chance, use this chance to prepare EVEN IF THIS HYBRID VIRUS DOES NOT BECOME A PANDEMIC, it does not matter. Use this opportunity to start preparing yourself for future disasters. Stock up on food and other supplies as soon as possible.
Chances are you do not have a strong immune system.
You probably base your daily diet on fast or junk food (burgers, pizza, snacks, soda, high-sugar or high-fat foods, etc,etc)
Chances are you do not have enough Vitamin C in your system. So i encourage you to do the following: Start intaking Vitamin C from various Citrus fruits, strawberries, Pineapple...if not enough food with vitamin C is available for you, use a vitamin C (or Multi-vitamin) supplement.
I know Garlic tastes gross, but Garlic helps your immune system A LOT, it defends your body against colds and helps as a decongestant, so start eating garlic....remember, we cannot eat for taste- we must eat for results. Ignore the taste. Vitamin C and Garlic are two things YOU MUST consume in order to strengthen your immune system, start intaking these two warrior foods as soon as possible.
This is also the time to revise your habits such as hand-washing and all that. Start washing your hands more and make sure you clean them well. Make sure you do not eat with dirty hands or touch your face with dirty hands. Also take pre-cautions and try not to touch your friends during Flu dangers. Good Hygiene is mandatory. Try to sleep more as well, reduce stress as much as you can . These things take a toll on your immune system, you must make sure to take care of your health by having a strong immune system. You should also have latex gloves(the ones used in hospital) and surgical masks (the ones they use in the hospital) for your entire family in case this Hybrid virus spreads and it becomes a pandemic.

In case you did not know about this....you better realize that keeping up with world news is crucial.
The point of this Blog post is to WARN YOU and hopefully make you realize that this Hybrid virus is an event you must take into account, you need to use this event as a reminder that preparing for survival is really important. I am urging you to turn off that ignorance inside your head and start stocking up on food and water and other important supplies. Read my older blog posts. Use your intelligence, wake up and notice we do not live in a Utopia. A world full of corrupt governments will not be here for us, you have to take care of yourself.
Even if this Hybrid virus does not become a worldwide pandemic, i will repeat myself: Use this event to remind you that you must prepare for the future. As the old saying goes "Better safe than sorry", oh how perfectly true that is.
DO NOT become paranoid or become fearful. Be aware but do not go crazy.
A strong body and a strong mind will make you a good survivalist. Remain alert, calm and be ready to take action when disaster strikes. Preparing is not about paranoia or fear, it is about using common sense. Do not let fear rule you and do not become paranoid, these two things cause stress and stress does not help during hard times. Keep your mind stable and relaxed but alert at the same time. One does not have to be paranoid or fearful in order to prepare. So do not let fear or paranoia consume you, remain alert and vigilant but keep your mind strong and stable.
Please start taking the steps to protect yourself and your family for the future. I will stop writing for now because i do not want to make this post too long, however. I will update with a blog post tomorrow , it will have photos of my survival Back-pack so you can see and notice what is needed for survival, i will try to take photos and post them tomorrow. I hope you read this whole blog post and i hope you heed my warnings, you must rise up and begin to take charge, become the leader that is needed in your family, Female or male- gender,race, social status is of no matter. Whoever you are.... This is your chance and your warning, the time is now to begin your survival preparations for a future disaster.
