It’s still early in the season, but communities around the country are attempting to prepare for what they call “super flu”, an influenza pandemic. According to this AP story, “In Dallas, city librarians may replace sick 911 operators.”
The Associated Press took a closer look at those preparations and found wide differences in how far along states are – and little consensus on the best policies, even among neighboring states, on such basic issues as who decides whether to close schools.
Almost half the states haven’t spent any of their own money yet to gird against a super-flu, relying instead on grants from the federal government.
