CDC Chief Warns Pandemic Flu Is Coming

Swans Dead After Bird Flu Outbreak At Swannery



During a a national conference Thursday Dr. Julie Gerberding director of the CDC says "ready or not, a flu pandemic is coming."

"No one knows when the pandemic is coming or what strain of flu virus will cause it, but it is overdue", she said.

She was also correct in her statement in which she said, "politicians are not talking about a flu pandemic or the bird flu virus, which may or may not be the virus that causes the next pandemic. No one is talking about it, and it’s not on their radar screen.”

At the conference she also made mention that critical products and services including food, and water and basic drugs will be unavailable due to transportation and energy problems.
