How bad could it get? Is government doing enough? Take our poll!

In September 2006, C. Nordqvist estimated that an avian flu pandemic could cost as much as 2 trillion dollars, inflicting 180-360 million deaths worldwide, and resulting in 130 million outpatient visits. During the SARS event, a single hospital in Taiwan performed fever screening of 5,000 citizens each day. Is it possible to do more?
