I heard a presentation today where our local public health officer stated that if you counted everyone who had ever died in wars, added those who had died from AIDS and flu, you would get approximately 320 million people. If you totaled the number who had died from smallpox alone, you would get 500 million.

Puts the threat in perspective, eh?

RE your post #5 - Yes, it certainly does put the threat into perspective. Thanks for that info. I can't help but wonder what other states are planning to do about smallpox.
