This is my first Post.
I’ve been reading the Fluwiki since early this year. I must say that all of you regulars have really put together a very educational, informative, humorous, and thought provoking collection of post.
As the invisible countdown continues to what seems is going to be an era of biblical proportions, I feel confident that what I’ve learned here will make the difference for my family.
On behalf of my family, friends, neighbours, and all the countless people that are going to survive because of your efforts, THANK YOU !!!
I second the thank you to the Flu Wiki. Because of the people on this website, I have learned how to store food, how to treat water, how to set up a sick room, and the many supplies I might otherwise not have bought (a corn tortilla press for example). But I love it most when someone makes me laugh, because God knows we all need some humor now.
Fluwiki is, without a doubt, comprised of a unique and wonderful group of people. I am very thankful I came to this website many months ago.
History Lover - ditto on the humor for sure!!
and re HB’s post at 14:50 - yep, what he said:-)
We are a community of people who tuned into the possibilties of this virus becoming the next pandemic. Many of us are running around telling everyone who will listen to take this thing seriously and to prep, others are up to their eyeballs in research, digesting it and posting it here in simplier terms so the non-science people have a chance of understanding so they can go out into their communities and get people in decision making positions moving (that would also include mothers who are the decision makers for their families). Even if you only feel comfortable telling a few people, those are a few more who stand a better chance of living through this thing. Mom and Dads who are taking care of their children are protecting our future.
I have met wonderful people on this site and I thank all of you because each and every one of you offer support, thought provoking insights and active discussions that have made me consider information previously out of my field, virology and food storage, for example.
Thanks to everyone here at the Wiki. You are all a wonderful source of information and inspiration. You make me laugh, and you all make me feel like I belong here. Can’t imagine going through this without you all!!
The amount of work it must have taken to build (and maintain!) the Wiki is beyond my comprehension — but, as with those above, not beyond my appreciation. I join them in expressing the gratitude we all feel.
Great idea to start a thank you thread, because that is what you did. Thanks to everyone from me, too. But I want special thank you’s to all of you who are running the news thread, the mods, and those of you contributing to following the situation in Indonesia as it develops. Each time I visit the Indonesian Outbreak Case SUmmary thread I want to say thank you, because I am floored by the work people are putting into that. It feels so generous to me, so important. Can’t comment there! so I do here.
Without this site I wouldn’t be anywhere near as well informed as I am nor would I be prepped. Thank you so so much to the wonderful people who had the conviction of their beliefs to start this Wiki and to all those that have allowed them to realise their ‘dream’.
To everyone who has the strength to post (or even just browse) - you are now part of the the most amazing global community that has ever been formed. I look forward to the big reunion we will all have when this is over. I will take that as the ‘all clear’ signal - when a thread is started saying we need volunteers to organise the Wiki reunion .
Thank you all for the survival tips and a special thanks to Frenchiegirl

What everyone else has said goes for me and my family - many, many thanks to all of you!
The regulars make this site what it is. We just provide the framework.
But since someone has to say it, on behalf of all the mods and editors, you’re all very welcome.
Some Linux guy gave a technical chat and at the end, he suggested everybody might want to say “thank you” to their neighbor - the persons sitting next to each person in the audience.
Thank you, left and right. :-)

Lugon,
Is that you to my left or my right?
Many thanks to all those who contribute from the owners and moderators to the subject matter experts and the practical application specialists.
Each voice hear moves us toward an answer.
TO NS1
Amen. In ten years we will be reviewing this site on the History Channel.
Many, many thanks to ALL posters!
Gather and Solve.
NS1 “left or right” - I guess both if we’re on different sides of the planet :)
Thank you, anyway!
I have feared flu from early childhood. When I first heard of panflu I thought, well thats it, we’re all gonna die. Then I came here, and learned so much! Now I feel strongly that my family will have a fighting chance,with or without me. The gratitude I feel is enormous. You have collectively changed my life.
I want to add my thanks to my new adopted family on the wiki. ya’ll have really changed the way I look at my life and the way that I live it now. Ya’ll have help me and my DH prepare our family in ways we had never even considered. I feel confident and prepared as much as you can possibly be prepared in these troublesome times. Every morning I check here for a few minutes, sometimes making a comment, sometimes printing out valuable information, sometimes just getting a daily chuckle over some obersavtion or incident that has happened in someone’s life. I also check in the later afternoon, to see if there is any new developments and how everyones day has been so far. GOD BLESS EVERYONE OF YOU. Keep on posting and I will keep on reading and passing on information that you provide.
Thanks to all of you, again.
I don’t know how much time is left, but when the SHTF I’m sure this site, if not the entire net, will crash. So I thank all of you now, and hope to see you personally May 15th, (Gatlinburg?).
Fish Mox, butter from New Zealand, Velvetta -to freeze or not to freeze, and the news hounds that do an amazing job covering Indonesia and India and the rest of the planet. Thanx!
I, too, would like to add my sincere thanks to all of you for your hard work and for caring enough to share such valuable information!! You’re the best!
Man this sounds like an obituary.
I want to add my small voice to the chorus that is showing much graditude for Fluwikie and all of it moderators, organizers, and everyone that is connected by fluwikie one way or another. When I first found fluwikie, although I was already into prepping, this forum has added much education to what I have learned throughout my fire service career, I say thank you and know that by this forum and Fluwikie being here, has made a difference and will make a difference in so many countless lives, not only in the United States but throughout the world.
Goju! I’m surprised. I was going to add Thank You Goju, for your inspiration!
I’m still going to add it….
Thank You Goju, for your inspiration!

Thank you guys and gals for all the blood, sweat and tears you all put in to giving us a safe place to exchange ideas!
Want to add my name to the thank you list.
I want to say thank you too. Especially for Dear Santa thread that had me laughing and thinking. What Frenchie girl said too.
I can’t think of adequate words yet, but wanted to make sure I said I am very appreciative of being able to have the Flu Wiki, and the intelligent, caring people here.
Teach the children well… (back to basics; Nature, Science, Ethics?)
Thanks to all for some of the most intelligent conversations I’ve seen anywhere.
