They should be encouraging people to be prepared for a general disaster. Pointing at NOLA is an example that people can relate to. They should be saying you should be prepared for some thing like that. That appears to be what they are shifting to.

Egypt, Vietnam, china, really might be H2H and not directly from poulty. http://www.pandemicflu.gov/
after all WHO has to confirm the cause death or they aren't counted in the total.
