I think we will just have to agree to disagree with what Marc Siegel wrote. On reading his link again this maybe is worthy of note:- but potential threats should be put into context. So, in our risk assessment, how many people are likely to die from terrorist attacks, and how many likely to die from flu infections over (say) a time period of 10 yrs ? Considering the projected numbers how much should be spent on defence, wars, and homeland security, and how much should be spent on serious healthcare issues? Allocation of other resources should also be made along the same lines. Well, just a thought -g- I found this link on your name suggestion of Osterholm. Although he paints a more concerned picture, the link seems more reassuring that a good grasp of the problem is maintained. It isn't just theoretical cidrap.umn.edu Ron Paul, good fellow that he is, seems to be struggling with more immediate problems then Avian Flu, and also concerned how some in power might use a pandemic to push for even more powers. freemarketnews.com
