This has been coming for a while. Whether it gets here this cold and flu season I don't know. I just know that a massive plan needs to have the kinks worked out before it does strike here. There are many people who can't seem to grasp the numbers involved in such a potential wide spread tragedy. I believe it will make the 1918 epidemic look like a cake walk. Bush just wants a plan in place should the unthinkable happen, and some on here are crucifying him for merely suggesting it. I would prefer to have a plan and not need it, than need it and not have it.
That poor man, what he's had to endure in his presidency, a lesser man could not do. God bless him.
