Bush Plan for Flu Crisis Shows U.S. Not Ready
That about says it all, doesn't it. Yes, highly paid professionals will prepare for the flu pandemic with the same can-do efficiency that they used when they prepared for a category 5 hurricane hitting New Orleans. That is, resources are at the direction of incompetent cronies. (The president has many friends, but tends to misrust those smarter than him, who speak in irrelevencies and psychobabble. So most of his friends are pretty dumb, or act really dumb in a way that dubya can't detect.)
The plan, if they make one, will be cooked up at double-time by military planners. It will involve combat troops in bio-warfare uniforms (the ones that look like hefty garbage bags with goggles) cordoning off the 'clean' zones, which will tend to be Rich Folks Neighborhoods, and Business Districts, Ski Resorts, and Country Clubs, to stop the Diseased (that will be the rest of us) from getting in there and infecting them with the dread flu we all have...
Well, what if we don't all have it? It won't matter. Unless we are somehow on the 'safe' side of the line George W Bush orders the military to draw across the civilian population, in the collapse of public order (predicted by their report) it's just a matter of time before most everyone not on the 'clean' list will be dead. After a suitable time, the military can 'mop up'... and control the story.
After all, that's what a 'Quarantine' is.

And isn't that more-or-less what has happened in New Orleans?
