A catastrophe like bird flu would cause economic havoc. By the way, I heard on the radio a month ago that Health & Human Services recommended we keep 3 weeks food on hand, in case of a quarantine. I took this advice. And the mortality rate is not dependent on your health – this bird flu can kill people who are so healthy that they don’t even get a common cold. If I understood it correctly, the healthy are even more prone, because their immune systems are so strong.
But I suspect any economic damage would be temporary?
