Good Advice Will Be Ignored
When the bird flu epidemic starts (note how I say when, not if), it can be bad or really bad or even Really Bad. A new modeling experiment suggests that with proper international cooperation and coordination, it can be pretty well contained and casualties limited.
Unfortunately, our own health system isn't up to the challenge, and our prospects for getting other people to cooperate with us keep getting worse. Hopefully it won't get this bad.
