Uhh... I think, I _hope_ that we are talking about 40% of your workforce NOT SHOWING UP TO THE OFFICE for days or weeks, not dropping dead, not even necessarily getting sick.

A 40% mortality rate among otherwise healthy adults, and we have much bigger issues to worry about.

Indeed. Estimates I've read on CNN in the past few days (I know, I know) say that if H5N1 were to be approximately as virulent and deadly as the 1918 flu, we would be looking at 90 million infected and 1.9 million dead in the US. -Rusty
