The Role Of Optimism In Pandemic Planning: A Blog Posting From Avian Flu Diary
October 31 2007 by The Systemic Analyst.
The Blog Avian Flu Diary has posted a wonderful commentary on the unwarranted optimism of government officials and other leaders who continue to make public statements professing preparedness for pandemics. Drawing from the informed preparedness of the general public during the Cold War in the 1950’s, the author contrasts the ability of average citizenry to cope with a disaster then as opposed to the misled and placated masses of today. The piece is definitely worth a read.
