Getting a Sense of Pandemic from the Brits

Here is a secret Pandemic report just leaked to the press in Great Britain that gives a good sense of what would happen were pandemic to strike.

It is pretty grim except if you look at predictions for vaccine reaching people. They estimate 3-6 months. Also interesting is the comment that because the Army is too busy in international committments they could not be used to help the people of Great Britain. We will be in a similar situation with even our national Guard overseas in Iraq. By the time they could be shipped home, the pandemic would have killed a bunch of people. Better get those boys and girls home soon, I say; we may need them for a threat worse than terrorism. If this thing mutates, there will be weapons of mass destruction in every cough.
