The Emergency people enjoy their drills and get to pretend they would be of any use at all if it gets really big.

These people will do anything to get people to take the flu shots. When such a push is put on about medicine like this it’s scary. My doctor said I should get the shot. I’ve never had a flu shot but everyone I know that has had it, got sick. That tells me that the body is trying to get rid of that stuff. I just told my doctor I’ll take my chances, I don’t want to get sick.

I'd like to add that the National Guard is significantly under prepared to respond to a major Martian Attack on Des Moines, Iowa... if one were to occur.
This vulnerable state is due to the Bush policies in Iraq and lack of concern for early primary state residents.
I sincerely hope that the DEM candidates can effectively make this point as they campaign. I also hope that the MSM will allow their message to get out to those who need to hear.
As far as the "supposed threat" from our Muslim brothers and sisters, I ask... "Why can't we just all get along?"

While you have a point about the ‘we’re all gonna die’ aspect, the fact is we are way way overdue for a pandemic of some type.
You can only hold off ‘mother nature’ thinning the herd for so long, then she lets loose the entire can of whup ass in one shot - see Katrina.
Intelligent people use the time available to prepare for such events.

OMG...what if TWO flu pandemics break out. Or a flu pandemic coupled with an Ebola pandemic...then we’re really screwed.

I’d suggest reading up on how immunizations work. In the scientific literature.

Um, there isn't any flu epidemic.
Just thought I'd clarify that, since the first duty of a rational man when people around him go stark raving mad, is to restate the obvious.

Obviously. Is this like that imaginary bird-flu pandemic that was going to kill billions upon billions?

The surrender monkey’s talking point. This has nothing to do with the Guard and everything to do with Iraq.
