Sounds more like a Rahm Emmanuel effort to get the Pelosi off the hook regarding torture than a genuine health threat.

They're chomping at the bit to find some excuse to herd us all into their little camps where we won't be such a burden on Mother Earth.

Here's the problem we have to confront:
All of these measures would be justified IF this event had high lethality or morbidity.
If 20% of the cases in Mexico went blind (for example), we would be DEMANDING that all these things be done.
The lethality of A/California/04/2009 is far from clear, however.

Again, we are at phase 4...Other than the 1918 flu pandemic, which was a phase 5, we have not had an event above a phase 2 in the 20th or 21st centuries. At phase 8 (out of 6 phases), the administration will consider closing the US-Mexico border.

Homeland1 Special Report April 27, 2009
|
Dear H1 Member,
Last week, a never-before-seen strain of swine flu turned killer in Mexico. Cases started to arise in the United States, Canada and Spain.
The World Health Organization has now announced a 'phase 4 pandemic alert', meaning sustained human-to-human transmission is causing outbreaks in at least one country, signaling a significant increase in the risk of a global epidemic.
In todays special eNewsletter, learn the facts behind the swine flu outbreak and how to be better prepared for this potentially serious threat.

However, you have put more thought into it than the CDC.

Again, we are at phase 4. Page 32 of this report estimates deaths in US between 900,000 and 1.8 million for a phase 4 event. That's some interesting and sobering information right there.

I’m pretty sure the above greatly overstates the risk level we are at. The report you cite has only FIVE risk levels (see page 32). The WHO, on the other hand, who just put us at a level 4, has SIX risk levels. In other words, regarding the two scales, you are comparing apples and oranges—they are different scales. Level 4 on the WHO scale is not comparable to level 4 in the attached pdf.
I don’t read WHO’s description of Risk Level 4 as anything close to the risk level 4 described in your document.
To: Pete
page 31 table 2 shows we are on phase 2 or 3. Consider would indicate some schools should be closed which that is taking place. If Mexico is using a similar plane they are on phase 4.
The US is on phase 2 or 3.

This document is a little confusing there are inter-pandemic periods which are pre-pandemic planning phases you can read on page 17. Then there are categories.
In the US we are on planning phase 4 but we are on pandemic category 2. Which in the US we are expected to lose between 90,000 and 450,000 people at this category.
