If Iran, after leaving the NPT, had stockpiled sufficient MEU for several bombs and hidden it well, the chances of finding and destroying it would be small.
Switzerland has stockpiled sufficient NI to treat 25% of the population and considers using some of the stockpile for prophylaxis in health care workers and essential services (fire brigade, police, etc).
Therefore, the only reason to bat on, as captain Alastair Cook opted to do, was to stockpile sufficient runs that he could set ultra-attacking fields when the tourists eventually came out to bat.
Therefore, it is not feasible for low-income countries to allocate scarce resources to stockpile sufficient quantities of oseltamivir for an unpredictable influenza pandemic.
International stockpiles of influenza A antivirals have been growing rapidly since 2005, and most countries are stockpiling sufficient quantities of antiviral to treat 25% of their population (Department of Health and Human Services 2006; Ferguson et al. 2006; Roche 2007).
Stockpiling sufficient AV drugs (but not near-patient tests) to treat all patients with clinical cases would be cost-effective, provided AV drugs are effective at preventing deaths from pandemic influenza.
Early detection of virus strains with pandemic potential is important, as early detection of an outbreak is critical to generate and stockpile sufficient quantities of vaccines and anti-virals to limit the spread of the disease.
In addition, 19 reverse osmosis desalination units, positioned in almost every atoll, serve as an emergency store of water to households that have been unable to stockpile sufficient reserves of water for the dry season.
Our results strongly suggest that governments stockpile sufficient influenza antiviral drugs to treat approximately 25% of their populations, by assuming that R0 is not much larger than 2. In fact, no suboptimal strategies, based on the treatment of a fraction of cases on an age basis, were found able to reduce remarkably both the clinical attack rate and the antiviral stockpile required.
Schools have been advised to speak to suppliers to see if they can purchase food "off contract" and to ascertain whether they have stockpiles sufficient for an emergency.
Despite the sanctions, Pyongyang now has a nuclear stockpile sufficient for around half a dozen warheads, has made substantial progress in developing a long-range missile and is working towards miniaturising a nuclear warhead for an intercontinental ballistic missile.
