What, I thought it was BUSH who was using fear as an excuse to destroy our civil liberties, wage perpetual war, shred the Constitution, and turn the USA into a fundamentalist Christian theocracy?

Why panic on their word? There is no preparation that can be done to prevent an outbreak since there is no known single strain that has been identified from which a vaccine can be developed.

This is the same reason why from year to year some people get flu shots and still get the flu. Viruses are mutating machines and it is impossible to characterize a specific strain until it causes an outbreak.
