"It is a big, big issue. I mean, it's almost imponderable," she said. "I have to admit: the more research I did, the more frightened I became."

It's HUGH! And SERIES!

BS. The 3rd World would need to be isolated, but they don't form a big part of the world economy anyway. The rest of us would take some precautions and be fine. Telecommuting and videoconferencing will boom. Buy telecomm and computer stocks.

As for SARS, nearly all the economic losses were caused by panic reactions, not by actual deaths and illness and their impact on the economy. That should be a lesson to everyone, not to exaggerate disease threats, and overreact to a handful of cases.

Not to sound despotic or anything but perhaps a good genetic cleansing will do our country some good. I hate those labels on the plastic bags that warn about asphyxiation and on beach balls that remind us to use under responsible supervision and how about that "Coffee may be hot"... I could go on...

Hooray! Another apocalyptic scenario comes back to the forefront. Global Warming and Global Peak Oil were getting a bit lonely.

Still, she urged investors to embrace prudence, not succumb to panic.

It's always good to follow panicky hyperbole by encouraging your audience not get panicky.

With interest rates so low, stuffing your mattress with cash might not be such a bad idea. You're not losing anything and always have the cash on hand.

So I'm going to make a WAG here and guess that she's selling gold.

Hmmmm?

"The World Health Organization and public health leaders have been warning for some time that the world may be on the verge of a pandemic, the first since 1968. Adding considerably to their concern is the fact that the strain they fear will trigger a pandemic, the H5N1 avian flu ravaging poultry flocks of Southeast Asia, is highly virulent."

Yes, I look back in abject horror at the cataclysmic pandemic of 1968. And, isn't virulence a virtual requirement for pandemics?

She's selling something.

Looking at past pandemics, closely packed populations had it worst and more spread out were not nearly as bad, so.. major cities and poor countries have the most to fear.

But all the major cities in the US are dems. The more spread out suburbs are pubs. Hmmmm.

Will be blamed on Karl Rove and Bush.

Gosh, if the Flu pandemic hits at the same time as a series of big earthquakes, huge tsunamis, killer hurricanes, wild tornadoes, raging forest fires, and an anti-gay rally on the Boston Commons, the world may cease to exist.

"We won't have 30-per-cent unemployment because frankly, many people will die. And there will be excess demand for labour and yet, at the same time, it will absolutely crunch the economy worldwide."

This sums it all up!
