Bush outlines $7.1 billion flu pandemic strategy
~It is IMPORTANT to remember.. that you need to be in close contact over time, with infected CHICKENS to catch this Flu.. It has NOT mutated to a form, that can be passed from Human to Human. Being prepared for any Flu/Virus is sound Policy.. But we must remember to use our common sence.. there is NOTHING to Panic over..As the President said in his speech today.. "There is NO pandemic virus in this Country.. or in the World right now."
From the AP:
WASHINGTON - President Bush outlined a $7.1 billion strategy Tuesday to prepare for the danger of a pandemic influenza outbreak, saying he wanted to stockpile enough vaccine to protect 20 million Americans against the current strain of bird flu as a first wave of protection.
The president also said the United States must approve liability protection for the makers of lifesaving vaccines. He said the number of American vaccine manufacturers has plummeted because the industry has been hit with a flood of lawsuits.
Bush said no one knows when or where a deadly strain of flu will strike but “at some point we are likely to face another pandemic.”...
