27 February 2006 Everyone for themselves
I watch the scenes of a society descending into chaos from the relative security of my mother's isolated home. Red tail lights snake to the horizon as people pour out of the cities. Half the doctors haven't turned up for work; many are either ill, or caring for loved ones.
The avian flu pandemic, as reported in a blog. 2% mortality.
This, and the Coming Big One, is something everyone should be prepared for. As far as the flu goes, we are not ready.
