Military planning for possible H1N1 outbreak

The U.S. military wants to establish regional teams of military personnel to assist civilian authorities in the event of a significant outbreak of the H1N1 virus this fall, according to Defense Department officials.

Hamthrax comes out and its the end of the world, then we’re told that regular flu kills more folks than swine flu so stop worrying, but, apparently, in the background theres a quiet undercurrent of concern at the higher levels. Interesting.

Be interesting to see what happens this winter as flu season rolls around.
