In the United States, a small number of religious fanatics equate Y2K with the ancient prophecy of the end of the world. They are warning people to stay indoors and pray, and to stock up on vital supplies like drinking water, staple foods, gasoline, medicines, batteries, emergency lighting, and so on, like a modern-day Noah's Ark.
在美國，少數狂熱宗教組織已將 Y2K 危機和「世界末日」的古老預言劃上等號，警告人們在那一天裡足不出戶、閉門祈禱。而飲用水、乾糧、油品、藥品、木炭、手提收音機、電池、緊急照明設備… …，凡是可以救命的，都應儲存著準備帶入諾亞方舟。
