Oh, that _is_ rich. ;-)

I think a lot of people would love to know just how they plan
to make that happen. :-)

It is said:

        President Bush is expected to approve soon a national pandemic
        influenza response plan that identifies more than 300 specific
        tasks for federal agencies, including [some stuff and] expanding
        Internet capacity to handle what would probably be a flood of
        people working from their home computers.

That's not a lot of detail, and the article only cites www.pandemicflu.gov
as a reference.  They don't appear to have published any detailed plan
that Pres. Bush is evidently about to sign there.  What is published there
feels like background information, and is vaguer still.

Anyone with more information on what they're talking about?
