It is sad that so many people don't have the will to do their own research, apply some logic and decide on their own. I guess independent thinking and self-reliance is no longer available in the minds of city dwellers. I certainly hope the farmers and rural folks were more wise. If the folks start dying en mass, stay home and wait for the rebuilding. You have an inquisitive mind and the will power to weigh information and make an educated choice. The world is going to need people like you. If the entire provence is so decimated and survival becomes difficult, you can relocate south of the border and join the rural folks here. The cities will be chaos, no law enforcement or critical services left. Hard working survivors will be needed to band together and carry on
