It just goes to show that you just can't be too careful with forwarded emails.
Lesson: Do your own research. The phrase "even the very elect" comes to mind.
As soon as I put it on the blog I get an e-mail showing the "Urban Legend" side of the previous post. The brother who got us all talking of this apologized and now so do I.
Just shows what can happen when you jump to conclusions and try to take your leaders there too.
However it was also pointed out that the websites are legit, both the church's and the Govt. So use the info that is there and take it for what it is worth.
It's still good to be prepared. But stirring people up to do it with "urban legends" is not the way.

Children Growing Up, Old friends Growing Older
Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret Gate;
And though I oft have passed them by,
A day will come at last when I
Shall take the hidden paths that run
West of the Moon, East of the Sun.

I've seen the an article on this. And you are correct. Even though there are urban legands about pandemics doesn't mean that we shouldn't be prepared.
We all need to be aware and be prepared.
Thanks for the links.
I have to agree also that it's easy to get all stirred up about things like this. We have the scriptures and modern prophets, and they warn us of these things also. Somewhere in between fearmongering and apathy is where we should ideally be on this, I guess. Be prepared, but then don't fear.
This did give me the kickstart I needed to build my supply back up. It has depleted these last few months and I haven't been keeping track. Costco time!
