>>This confirms my suspicion that large numbers of Americans are quietly preparing<< I hope more than we realize certainly are... but the question is how many ? Personally as well as I think we have done --if we have to care for other families who because of their stubbornness or fear of someone making fun of them did nothing --it wont last long and that is the trouble. My hunch is 10% are preparing adequately and maybe another 15% a little bit which will leave 40% % scrambling and causing panic when they wake up in last 6 weeks of the year. 1/3 will do nothing no matter what in blind stubbornness.

>>>You mentioned that it would be a good idea to get shots. Do you or others have a short list of suggested immunizations? In my original post I suggested tetanus and flu shots. IMO, those are shots that are helpful to have regardless of Y2K, but could be really important should there be Y2K problems. For those who think that Y2K will bring failures in the water supply or sewage treatment, or who live in areas that are susceptible to such problems, a cholera shot might be smart. Karen
