Do they know something about this flu that we don't?

This is unusual, even by 'hyping' standards 'perfected' by the Bush, Jr. Administration.

Just for the sake of argument, let's say that this were a Biologically engineered flu which they know would have a profound effect upon reaching the general population. This may neither be as simple as it sounds nor as random. There may be implications which are unclear at this point, but will become dramatically so later. Obviously, a good bio-weapon would have a low traceability and 'natural' clinical course which would become accentuated with exposure to the general population. I know...this sounds nuts, but I'm weirded out by the kind of attention this is getting from the highest elected officials and those whom they have appointed.

I'm not normally a tinfoil hat person with respect to stuff like this, but we have Governors, Homeland Security, and everyone and her brother all over this a priori.

I for one have never seen anything quite like it.
