But it could have been much worse. That being said, some parts of Tx actually did look like a war zone, thank goodness there were only 20 or so deaths, it could have been much worse.</p> You know, Ike was bad don’t get me wrong.

What scared me most was the EOC photo. During a H5N1 pandemic having so many people so close together seems dangerouse. Unlike a hurricane that lasts a few days – a pandemic will last weeks to months and then recovery can begin.

Hopefuly those in the EOC are making plans.

I know it's a busy time, but I hope you will do a few more blog posts before the new administration takes office. Establishing and maintaining this communication outlet is a great service. And I hope Secretary-Elect Daschle continues the blog on his watch! Best of luck.</p> Secretary Leavitt — thank you for all your hard work on behalf of the health of the American people.
