Working at home via telecommuting is widely heralded as a business safety strategy during a pandemic.
Now a nutritional panel from the University of Sydney in Australia has encouraged stockpiling up to 10 weeks of food because they say it’s not IF a pandemic will sweep that nation, but WHEN. Because Australia is closer to Asia and has large amounts of international traffic, they feel Australia will be hit sooner and harder by a flu pandemic.
I think the recommendation in the US is already up to keeping enough food on hand for two weeks. Maybe it will be 10 weeks here soon too!
