I do not wish to be a scaremonger but a report published yesterday on the preparedness in the United Kingdom, United States and Holland for a flu pandemic would frighten the wits out of anyone. It hypothesises 21 million cases in two weeks in Britain alone and 100,000 deaths. I assume our Department of Health and Children is prepared somewhat for such an event.
