Sunday Night Not Blogging

I was in the hospital all weekend.  My plan was to get home and write the definitive post about avian influenza, but that will have to wait.  On CNN tonight they mentioned that we are spending five and a half billion dollars to prepare for a biological attack (that probably will never happen.)  We have spent less than a tenth of that preparing for a pandemic that probably will happen.  My only hope is that some thought is being put into making that bioterror defense planning flexible enough, so that we can use whatever preparedness it gets us, to fight off the more likely threat.
