Well the US Government, State Governments, and County Governments are now preparing some very intensive plans when bird flu comes here.
Front page article in the local news here said the county is estimating 1/3rd of the population could contract the flu and 1/3rd of those folks will die from it. So they are estimating a 10% loss of the population base.
What's even more frightening though are the battle plans being prepared. This involves the use of the US Military and National Guard to completely quarantine areas in the US that get bird flu. All shopping malls, schools, parks, universities, stadiums, big companies and places where large amounts of people come in contact with each other will be shut down. Roads will be blocked to prevent anyone from leaving the county. People will be ordered not to shake hands with anyone else and to stay 6 feet away from other people. Some people will be quarantined to their houses once hospitals fill up and will not be allowed to leave their properties.
So basically if you live in an area that gets hit, you're going to be living in a total police state situation for about 2 to 3 months.
