Back to the original question, how well could you cope for such an event? It's always challenging to think about what would happen as sometimes it includes the unexpected.
Quite. One case of bird flu in a major city and you won't need government intervention to make people telecommute -- large numbers will independently and spontaneously decide to do so. (Back in the days of dial-up, I had a lot of trouble connecting to Bell Labs on snow days. No rule, and the place was officially open for business. But everyone just did the rational thing.) --Steven M. Bellovin, http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~smb
