Vancouver Swine Flu Epidemic

So far 1,500 people have been confirmed infected with swine flu. Relevent highlights:

  • "officials are expecting about 1,500 ... which is at the low end of their projections."
  • "snowball that turned into an avalanche ... faced with a national crisis"
  • The disease could hit "roughly 50,000", "double [in infection] in strength", and expand "one [friend or relative] at a time"

I think this is the time for urgent action to end the problem: the Vancouver Convention and Exhibition Centre must be hit with that fuel-air bomb from Outbreak. Its for our own safety.
