Ray, hooray for Newt Gingrich [I didn't know he was still around]: <"Having said that, Thompson's warning about a flu pandemic was his greatest single service to our country." Gingrich concluded that if Thompson is concerned, than the threat is real. He called on the Congress to meet the challenge of creating a 21st century virtual public health system that can respond to the threat of a pandemic, and suggested starting with hearings so that Members of Congress and the nation can understand the full scale of the threat. "While we were all deeply shocked and saddened by the attacks of 9/11 that resulted in the deaths of thousands, a pandemic, whether natural or engineered, could kill millions." The former Speaker said. "The response, therefore, must be equal to the threat." Gingrich, who holds a Ph.D. in history, stated that the flu of 1918 killed more people worldwide in a single year then the total number of people who died during the four years of World War I.> The USA is perhaps going to realize there is a major league catastrophe coming down the turnpike in time to do something about it.
