You're still misleading people, and, doing nothing to tell them how to prepare. The nation has been shamefully allowed to unwittingly play 'russian roulette'.

"3 Years later" you're still waiting for it to be "transmitted by humans"? H5N1 has been being transmitted human-to-human for years! If you'd asked him, Leavitt might have admitted that. It is being fought and Contained by 2005-definition WHO Phases 4 & 5 "Rapid Response and Containment" operations: movement restrictions, "Tamiflu blankets" to cases and contacts and caregivers and cullers, and attempts at animal cull zones (that are sloppy because govts don't want to pay fair compensation up front).

Delaying Panflu Year start to buy time to prepare!

Leavitt: Dec. 2005: "Any state, any community, any citizen that failed to prepare, assuming that the federal government could take care of them during a pandemic, would be tragically wrong."

It has put our National Security at risk because officals don't want to talk about this to the public!

Read "Recombinomics" under "What's New".

"Staying Prepared"?! - you and your state haven't even started in any ways that will reduce suffering and deaths come pandemic.

We are a skittish, panicky bunch these days, with little resolve or confidence that we can deal with much that comes our way. It's how we ended up in a 'war on terror'. I'm hoping confidence returns to our land.
