Government not preparing for flu disaster this winter.
There was a story on NPR this morning about the possibility of a severe flu season due to the vaccine shortage. Guess what? The government has done absolutely nothing to prepare for that real possibility. The hospitals are poorly equipped to deal with the rush of patients, but, oh well, it won't happen in an election year.

2. I wonder if they're making any old people sign loyalty oaths at places
where there is flu vaccine? If not, it's coming. I expect the worst from this administration, and I find that I'm never disappointed.

3. This admin has not prepared hospitals in any way
for a chemical or biological attack of any serious proportion.

Why should they worry about some piddly little flu?
