How to Protect Your Family Against the Coming Pandemic

by John Hart

Most dictionaries define pandemic as "an epidemic that is

geographically widespread; occurring throughout a region

or even throughout the world."

Recently, Klaus Stohr, the coordinator of the global infuenza

program at the World Health Organization predicted a bird flu

pandemic that would take more lives than the Spanish Flu of

1918 wherein 20-to-40 million perished.

He wasn't the only expert who pressed the panic button.

United States Health and Human Secretary, Tommy Thompson,

said "This is a bomb that could impact the world."

Dr. Julie Gerberding, Director of the Centers for Disease

Control, Atlanta, Georgia, issued a warning to physicians

to be on the lookout for symptoms of the avian influenza virus

known as H5N1.

Even CIDRAP, the Center for Infectious Disease Research and

Policy at the University of Minnesota is alarmed. They have

this statement posted on their webiste: "If the next pandemic

strain is highly virulent (such as the 1918 strain) the

global death toll could be dramatic."
