The New York Times > AP > International > WHO Urges Preparation for Flu Outbreak:
"Governments must brace for a future flu outbreak because one will strike inevitably, the World Health Organization said Wednesday.
"'Influenza pandemics are natural phenomenon, like earthquakes,'' said Klaus Stohr, coordinator of the global flu program at the WHO. 'The problem is bad preparedness.''
"Influenza is highly contagious and has killed millions over the past 100 years. It has traditionally moved in cycles, and some scientists say a major outbreak is already overdue."
