Given a worst case scenario, what would you want to have aboard your
boat if you decided to take off and live on it to avoid being infected
if this becomes an issue like it did in 1918?

I'm on Lake Superior, and could find places to hang out for quite a
while thast would not expose us to sources of infection. I could maybe
catch a fish or shoot a grouse or squirrel to supplement our diet.

anyway.)

Given that the infection will most likely be passed from human to human if
and when the virus has mutated, a vast amount of food might be one thing to
stock up on. Of course, if it became a fact that humans could catch it from
birds, and given that seagulls and other seabirds can and do land on boats,
by day and at night, I doubt whether you would be much safer at sea unless
the middle of the Southern Ocean beckons you.

Squirrelburgers don't appeal to me, grouse is a bird that could easily be
infected, so that means you shouln't leave without the fishing gear, but if
the pandemic were to last a long time, you might get tired of trout and
salmon.

Guess Mr Heinz will do rather well if more of us take your advice!
