Weekly World Risk Update 5/9 - 5/15

      This weekly world report is all about the health concerns and epidemics that are being declared. A mysterious skin disease in Vietnam has claimed more lives while epidemics have been declared in Madagascar, the Phillipenes, Nepal, and Ghana, with an epidemic hazard being declared in Ireland.

      Meanwhile the drug war continues to heat up in Mexico as cartels battle over territory, and the Eurozone Crisis heats up once again with talk of Greece exiting the eurozone.

      This is your weekly report preppers. Look for the information you need to stay safe and survive and keep on prepping.
