October 24, 2009 - Obama Declares National Emergency for H1N1
CBS ^ | October 24, 2009 | Staff

[snip] Health authorities say more than 1,000 people in the United States, including almost 100 children, have died from the flu, known as H1N1, and 46 states have widespread flu activity. So far only 11 million vaccine doses have gone out to health departments, doctor's offices and other providers, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention officials.

[snip]Health and Human Services chief Kathleen Sebelius now has authority to bypass federal rules when opening alternative care sites, such as offsite hospital centers at schools or community centers if hospitals seek permission.

Some hospitals have opened drive-thrus and drive-up tent clinics to screen and treat swine flu patients. The idea is to keep infectious people out of regular emergency rooms and away from other sick patients.

Hospitals could modify patient rules — for example, requiring them to give less information during a hectic time — to quicken access to treatment, with government approval, under the declaration.

What’s incredible is the the market only dropped 200 points.

I don’t disagree and that’s why I added “so far”.

I saw that as a ‘streaming’ head line on a ‘sports show’ this AM....

You would at least think they would say that TRAVEL is the worst part of this but they don’t even use ‘obvious’ built in excuses.

“The real mission is to disrupt the sense of normalcy in the country ...”

Ditto. I’ve lived 6 full decades and in all that time no such emergency as this has ever popped up. Never. Funny that it’s happening now...

As I understand it that’s global estimate.

South Korea estimates for their country it’s about 0.6%

They still have a private insurance option and have been told their level of care is similar to ours.

It is shades of Obama’s Barry-cades. When he shut the government down and refused to let retirees see open air landmarks because he was having a hissy fit and wanted people to suffer
