Mark, It seems to me he is giving the administration's justification for not lengthening recommended preparation times. ie "if we say be prepared for 30 days, everyone will go out and buy 30 days worth of supplies at once and that will cause shortages, etc and panic." In my opinion, the more prepared the populace is, the less chance of a panic, and the more time will be there after the problems hit to rectify the problems before the public becomes unruly. If everyone were prepared for 30 days, then the government or authorities would have 30 days to try to find workarounds or fixes before the public paniced. This 30 days would be after the actual problems had happened. I think he is taking a big gamble with this approach, hoping for the best.... Don't know why I bother to post, you seem to be saying better than I. O. H.
