No. No. Let’s not do anything. Public Health protocols? Screen arrivals from Asia? Quarantines?

No. No. . . .

“”t happened so quickly. They started shivering, thousands of them at once. And then they started to fall. Every one of them. They just fell over, dead." Scott Dowell, the director of the Centers for Disease Control's Thailand office, tells Specter, "The world just has no idea what it's going to see if this thing comes. When, really. It's when. I don't think we can afford the luxury of the word 'if' anymore.... The clock is ticking. We just don't know what time it is." --- Michael Specter reports in "Nature's Bioterrorist" (p.50), in the February 28, 2005, issue of The New Yorker.

“Robert Webster, a virologist at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, in Memphis, who has been studying avian influenza for decades, is even more stark. "This is the worst flu virus I have ever seen or worked with or read about," he says. "We have to prepare as if we were going to war-and the public needs to understand that clearly. This virus is playing its role as a natural bioterrorist. The politicians are going to say Chicken Little is at it again. And, if I'm wrong, then thank God. But if it does happen, and I fully expect that it will, there will be no place for any of us to hide. Not in the United States or in Europe or in a bunker somewhere. The virus is a very promiscuous and effective killer." “ --- (Drudge)

No. Don’t do anything.

Now who is the suicide?

You persecute me for fourteen (14) years --- this is how I repay you. I warn you. To save your lives you must take precautions now. If you can make it to the Fifth Day then you have a chance.

Use your technology to make knowledge available. Use laser disks. Follow the example of Open University.

Make housing available using factory building techniques.

Break down the barriers in your society. Use markets to intermediate between yourselves.

Help each other. (stop)
