What grade of surgical masks protects from the flu, Henry? I would like to buy some.

Well, I read the article in your post, and was at least somewhat encouraged that the public will be encouraged to stay home during the epidemic. I have no plans to go to work and get a fatal case of the flu, but would also like to keep my job, so that is a bit of not horrible news. It is part of the subject I had not seen discussed in print before. Yes, there will definitely be economic catastrophes, particularly in the third world as trade might stop. I think we should of thought of things like that before we globalized. We don't even have enough labs in America to make vaccines, and that definitely makes us very vulnerable.
