Here are two additional, and very different, stories on local agency forecasts should a super-flu bug appear.
For the Philadelphia Inquirer, John Sullivan reports that while many other areas have their flu plans up and running, or at least are circulating drafts, his own town won’t say anything and might not even have done much planning at all.
And perfectly timed to illustrate the point of Sullivan’s story in Philly, in San Jose, California, the Mercury News’s Julie Sevrens Lyons provides details from a 347-page draft plan that spells out what local agencies would try to do, and the disorder, fatalities, and general misery that would probably sweep the region anyway should a killer flu start passing person-to-person.
