U.S. Prepares for Possible Flu Outbreak

WASHINGTON (AP) - The United States may have to close schools, restrict travel and ration scarce medications if a powerful new flu strain spurs a worldwide outbreak, according to federal plans for the next pandemic, obtained Wednesday by The Associated Press.

It will take months to brew a vaccine that works against the kind of super-flu that causes a pandemic, although government preparations include research to speed that production.

The federal plans have been long-awaited by flu specialists, who say it's only a matter of time before the next pandemic strikes and the nation is woefully unprepared.

Re: U.S. Prepares for Possible Flu Outbreak

With every mutation viruses become more and more powerful, and it becomes necessary to make more and more powerful drugs, but I wonder if anyone will find a way to stop the mutation.

FYI:- The common cold is caused by a virus of which there are about 150
strains. Once you have had one, you will never get it again. If you lived
long enough to get every strain, you would not get another cold!
