"health care" oops that's not the flu, and that's not what I was talking about. Killer flus are somewhat different from heart attacks, diabetes, stroke, trauma... Surely you know that? No false dilemma- there's a limited supply of money, even if it's funny debt money- and the billions being spent in Iraq are clearly not being spent here on flu research, and beefing up the CDC (and not just a few million for bioterrorism- which is much less likely to whack our population, and whack it hard, than a killer flu is.) We have historical proof of what a killer flu can do- and it's worth planning for, and it's a lot bigger, and nastier, and more deadly, than any terrorist attack, or even any war. 30-40 million worldwide ninthday.com
