Ebola Is Bad But The Flu Is Worse

"Shark Attacks Rise Worldwide: Risk Assessment and Aquinas' Criteria For Sin"


***

Ebola is bad. But the flu is worse. "Ebola is no joke: The Centers for Disease Control project 1.4 million cases of the disease worldwide by January in a worst-case scenario. But by comparison, the 1918 pandemic killed an estimated 50 to 100 million worldwide. The United States simply cannot afford to be complacent about flu preparedness. Getting ready for the flu is a complex endeavor, relying on surveillance, detection, communication and detailed response plans. The United States has been fine-tuning its response plans since it first released a national flu pandemic strategy in 2005. The linchpin of the strategy is timely access to an effective flu vaccine. And that’s where the trouble lies." Kendall Hoyt in Politico Magazine.


Flu?
Or God creating the Universe?
