Maybe I'll sleep tonight. Between the suicide bomber in Oklahoma and the Avian flu that could be coming down the pike, I'm not gonna bet on it.

I'll check back on this thread when I wake up. I sure hope Canada can hurry up and get those autopsies completed.

'night

Don't think I have missed noticing the intensive and expensive efforts being put into emergency preparedness in this area suddenly.

"Regarding Tamiflu...
It takes a year to make a batch. Production capacity of the current formula is at the max. I don't see any changes happening...:-("

Neither do I under current circumstances. It would take massive research funding, lab and manufacturing subsidies.

In a pandemic, i don't think there will be any choice. If people start dying by the thousands, areas will begin to quarantine themselves.

People in large-scale life-and-death scenarios do not akways behave rationally... and "stay put in one area with other affected people" is NOT a universal reaction to the problem.

Your right, I should have made myself more clear. People in healthy areas will not allow people from infected areas in. Quarantines work both ways.

In the days of the plague, ports would fire on plague ships trying to enter their harbors.

That was my point.

The bird flu is not known to go from person to person ,,yet.

Unless you are willing to go through the most confounding and obtuse conversation you have ever had, you would be well advised not to engage these people on their fantasy.

To them, conjecture is proof. All of the sources they cited stated clearly and unambiguously that there is no proof, only expectations. Yet, they still claim you are wrong AND their sources are wrong.

The argument goes like this; here is my source, and his statements prove me wrong,,,so I am correct.

It's amazing.

And you thought only liberals were illogical.....:^}
