It is a grisly scenario: 650,000 deaths, with bodies piled up in shipping containers before being buried in mass graves all over the country.

The alarming prediction is contained in a confidential Home Office document drawn up to help councils and other organisations deal with a catastrophic outbreak of the deadly H5N1 strain of the virus.

I am thinking that Halliburton and Blackwater USA already have the contracts drawn up, for the (US Army engendered) bird flu pandemic.
