description: "...of the twelve possible scenarios on which the Department of Homeland Security bases its planning", a prominent public-health specialist writes, "pandemic flu is the one experts say is virtually certain to happen... it is also the most severe in terms of lives lost...apart from a nuclear bomb exploded in a big city". THE COMING AVIAN FLU PANDEMIC gives you the background information you need to understand the coming pandemic crisis, and why it is likely to be so dangerous. Nothing about the pandemic is more important for us to understand, as individuals, than the numerous warnings by federal officials that government will do very little to help us through the crisis. We will be pretty much on our own. There ll be no one but ourselves to turn to for help. That is why it is so completely necessary for us as individuals and as households to prepare for the crisis and to do so now! Written for the non-specialist, the book details the many practical steps you can take to make yourself and those closest to you as safe as possible during the pandemic. It also includes a detailed checklist of supplies and equipment you'll want to stockpile at home so that you and your loved ones can ride out the storm. The author of this important new book, Michael I. Selzer, Ph.D., writes in the introduction, "...this is not a medical book, but a book about how to cope with a crisis that will be caused by the inability of medical science to prevent a deadly infectious disease from becoming a global pandemic - and the high death rate of people infected by it. This crisis will affect every individual and every community in some form or and that means, of course, that although the crisis is medical in its initial cause, it is personal, social, economic, even political.
