Pandemic Flu Awareness Week

Hey everybody, it's Pandemic Flu Awareness Week! So why not take a few minutes to look at the Flu Wiki, or to read a few posts or follow some of the links over at Effect Measure? Yeah, it's depressing, I know -- but this really is pretty likely to become a big deal.

What kind of big deal? you may be wondering. The kind of big deal that, like, shuts down the global economy, kills a lot of people, and throws the remaining population into chaos as the already-fragile infrastructure collapses around them. That kind of thing. It's basically a doomsday scenario, but it's not yet a done deal.
