usa stocks short???

After the embarrassment of Katrina USA will not want to be caught short on stocks if there was a major flu outbreak.

How well stocked is the USA? Very interested to be brought up to date on this.

China is in the bird flu region and would not want fear of an outbreak without enough supplies to impact on the next Olympics with tourists staying away. Expect public statements sometime to give reassurance.

These are big population countries and demand would be very high.

We are discussing human life and should not be alarmists but do need to be prepared.
