What is somewhat scary about this particular strain is it strikes young adults more that small children and elderly which comprises most of the 30,000 plus deaths each year fromt he flu. The key is whether it becomes a true pandemic and if it mutates into something more virulent. The Obama administration is betting that it is much ado about nothing and I hope they are right. In essence if it becomes a pandemic they will be behind the 8 ball in responding and will likely be open to critics. My sense is that they are right.

What is gratifying is his recognition that the Bush administration put in place really good programs to deal with a pandemic in response to the bird flu concerns.
