The Department of Homeland Security held a press conference July 9th and Secretary Napolitano made comments on the H1N1 Flu. The thoughts on preparation are especially relevant. Here is an excerpt.
"One point I'd like to emphasize for all of us is that the work we do now on H1N1 is not wasted because it has applications and other scenarios as well. So even though we cannot—and science cannot predict what kind of flu or flu epidemic we are going to experience, and how serious its lethality will be—whether we're in a 1918 situation or a 1968 situation—that remains to be seen. But, what we do know, however, is that the preparations we do now would apply to many other scenarios as well—so the time, the efforts and the monies are put to good use."
Secretary Napolitano closed by saying that preparation is key. And it certainly is.
