I don't think you can buy or stock up on Tamiflu.

But I have been preparing a bit. What if it was suggested that people not congregate or go to work or work from home? Not quite a quarantine, but if you are living paycheck to paycheck, possibly debilitating. What if there are only skeletal crews working at utility companies? What if people can't work at your grocery store?

I've stocking up a bit on food, water, chicken stock (hah hah), aspirin, vitamins, other prepared foods. We have a camp stove with propane, a couple bottles of hand sanitizer, and a decent enough first aid kit I bought when the Red Cross came to sell stuff at the workplace. I'm not going crazy or anything, but I figure we need to make our household self sufficient for about 5-6 days at a time.

This is also a good time to get into good hygiene habits - wash hands more frequently, cough or sneeze in elbow (not in your hands), use the hand sanitizer, get the flu shot. It won't make me bullet-proof, but it covers the bases.
