Yeah, Rita was a comprable situation. What exactly did they do that was so awesome that everything would have fallen apart had it not been done?

And they did a phenomenally better job than the free market did with Katrina.

That's not hard to do when the state forces keep private aid agencies from entering the city.

Wearing your grandma's panties will not protect you; I don't know why you keep relying on that.

I bump this thread after reading these articles,

Bird Flu Vaccine

"But when the flu pandemic goes global – experts fear some time this winter – there won’t be time to produce enough vaccines. 70% of vaccine is made in Europe. US vaccine plants were shut over the years because of non-profitability.

The Bush Administration, which is spending US$362 billion on its fool’s war in Iraq, lacks funds to restart vaccine production. Last winter, the US even ran out of normal flu vaccines, a humiliating fiasco for the world’s richest nation.

Billions for aggressive wars; pennies for national health- a policy worthy of the old Soviet Union.

If the pandemic hits this year, there will be worldwide shortages of flu, vaccine particularly in the USA. President Bush’s dithering and inattention to this grave threat has left Americans open to pandemic illness and civil unrest. Only now is the White House beginning to take action. But the pandemic threat was clear to world health officials over a year ago.

Only one current drug, Tamiflu, may reduce avian flu symptoms, particularly in vulnerable elderly and children. The White House has put in a last-minute order with Roche for 81 million Tamiflu doses, but Roche says it may not be produced in time for winter.

Canada, France, Britain, and Japan all laid in ample stocks well in advance. The US finds itself at the very end of the world’s order line for Tamiflu. What a disgrace, and what an egregious act of negligence by a government so obsessed with the minor threat of terrorism and conquering Iraq it averts its eyes from an oncoming disease tsunami.

Existing US Tamiflu stocks can treat only 2% of the population. Bush’s solution: `well bring out the army.’ Indeed, riots, chaos, mass evacuations, and economic collapse can be expected if the pandemic hits the woefully unprepared United States. Those know-it-all Republican Conservatives who sneer at other nation’s `socialist’ public health programs may be the first to die if the flu pandemic hits.

SF Chronicle

"The second priority -- building an adequate public inventory of Tamiflu -- has always been a no-brainer. Yet Washington malingered before adding the antiviral to its strategic stockpile and then purchased only enough to protect less than 2 percent of the population -- in sharp contrast to France, with supplies for 24 percent of the population, or New Zealand, with 21 percent coverage.

Yeah, I've been doing even more research into it. Pretty much, I think we're [censored].

That's some weak reasoning Hamish. Of course we can afford to produce vaccine and fight the war in Iraq...
