The article states that Americans are "stockpiling" flu medicine. The verb to stockpile has no connection to the stock market or financial investments. To "stockpile" something is to collect, accumulate or amass it. To stockpile medicine is to collect it for later use. As a noun, a stockpile refers to a "supply" or "reserve" of something.
This statement is false. The article states that "concern" about the fish-flu is spreading, not the fish-flu virus itself. The subject of this sentence is the noun "concern". Later the article states that there "has yet to be an occurrence of fish-flu in US waters". The fish-flu has not spread to the United States. "To spread" means to distribute to a wide area.
This is the main point of this article. We read that Americans are "alarmed" (meaning "worried") and that there is a "growing fear" of fish flu in the United States.
This is a true statement. The article states that the last "outbreak" or eruption of the fish virus occurred in Asia. An "outbreak" is a sudden increase, in this case of the number of cases of the fish flu.
