The Coming Pandemic

Last month I posted on the coming flu pandemic, and the eery links to the Spanish flu of 1918. It's good to see the Bush Administration is taking this seriously. In spite of our technology, we are no better prepared for the Bird flu mutation now than we were at the turn of the last century. In fact, thanks to our technology the spread could be faster, and more deadly. Considering the Spanish influenza killed 100 million worldwide, that's frightening indeed.
