As the world braces for a second, more severe, wave of H1N1 Swine Flu, government agencies and consumers groups suggest a Swine Flu survival kit.

These are the basic elements of a home-made Swine Flu survival kit:

• A two-week supply of food and water.
• Fever reducers, such as acetaminophen, ibuprofen, or naproxen.
• Cough and cold medications containing chlorpheniramine, diphenhydramine, oxymetazoline, and pseudoephedrine and lozenges with dyclonine, glycerin, or honey can help ease symptoms.
• Electrolyte drinks, such as Gatorade or Powerade, to keep you hydrated.
• Hand sanitizer with at least 60 percent alcohol, such as Purell, to kill viruses when

Consumer Reports also suggests to prepare an emergency Swine Flu survival kit, recommending packing at least three days' worth of non-perishable food; at least one gallon of water per person, per day; a first-aid kit that includes any prescription or over-the-counter medications your family might need; as well as antihistamines for allergic reactions, pain relievers, stomach and anti-diarrhea remedies, and antacids.

Whilst most of suggested basic items can be easily found it would be wise for people to start preparing well ahead of time instead of waiting until the last minute, risking to find retailers sold out on items such as hand sanitizers, medications and surgical masks.

Being locked up in your own home for 3 days or more can easily become unbearably boring. However things can become less boring if you have a pc and an internet connection which is going to put you just few clicks away from betting on sports, horses or online poker.

The best part of online gambling is that you never have to leave your home to bet on sports, horses or more simply play poker online.

However you must beware from possible online frauds, making sure to never have to sweat a payout after you win.
