なぜか、今、この時期に、ペンタゴンが5月9日付のHPに「全米中に広がる可能性がある鳥インフルエンザに注意せよ」との"メッセージ”を掲載した。
「レイダース・ニュース」がロイターからの記事だとして転載している記事によれば、20−35%の人々を感染させ、3%の人々を入院患者にし、300万人の人々を死に至らしめる可能性があるとのこと。
ペンタゴンでは、これに備え、万全の対策で臨む覚悟とのこと(爆笑)。

Pentagon: Bird Flu Could Kill 3 Million, Require Martial Law
Added: May 11th, 2007 10:28 AM
The United States military has started to plan for a possible bird flu pandemic that could kill as many as 3 million Americans.
The Pentagon's plan for dealing with a massive outbreak of avian flu has been posted on its website.
It says a pandemic in the US could result in 20-35 per cent of the population becoming ill, 3 per cent being hospitalised and 1 per cent, that is 3 million people, dying.
The Pentagon says the bird flu outbreak would overwhelm civilian and military health facilities and cripple the ability of authorities to provide even basic commodities or services.
Possible scenarios include US troops being called in to put down riots, guard pharmaceutical plants and shipments, and help restrict the movement of people.

“You can never be ready enough. We have a plan in place,” Ellen P. Embrey, deputy assistant secretary of defense for force health protection and readiness, said during a joint Pentagon Channel and American Forces Press Service interview.
