A friend of mine works as a research physician for the CDC, and specifically is working on pandemic flu preparations. This guy is as knowledgeable as one gets on this issue. I was speaking to him late last week to get his take on bird flu.
Like many of you, I was highly skeptical of the purported risk. He feels the immediate risk is moderate, but it is only a matter of time before another flu pandemic strikes. We spoke about vaccines and how time consuming production is. We spoke about gov't response - and he said you will not be able to rely on gov't to handle this adequately. He said that one should be prepared to be *isolated* for a period of weeks, as that is the only sure fire way to be safe.

My own old "Chinese" proverb.
Keeping the population fearful keeps the wallets open.
If sauerkraut were nuclear, kimchee would be plutonium.
Does anybody know the present stage? Someone on CSpan was saying that the 2 million vaccines presently on hand could be useless if it continues its present mutation. So what is its present mutation? Bird to Bird, Bird to Cat, Bird to Human?
We don't know what we don't know...
