I was really getting worried for a moment there. Have no fear of “Change” America: Our government’s “when-the-shit-hits-the-fan” plans to keep us a nation of corpse-munchers are as follows:
Provide guidance and support to poultry, swine and related industries on their role in responding to an outbreak of avian influenza, including ensuring the protection of animal workers and initiating or strengthening public education campaigns to minimize the risks of infection from animal products.
Sufficient vaccine to vaccinate the entire U.S. population within six months of the emergence of a virus with pandemic potential.
Expand the public health recommendations for domestic seasonal influenza vaccination and encourage the same practice internationally.
Encourage and subsidize the development of state-based antiviral stockpiles to support response activities. [8.5 billion of our tax dollars projected]
Early warning of a pandemic and our ability to closely track the spread of avian influenza outbreak is critical to being able to rapidly employ resources to contain the spread of the virus. An effective surveillance and detection system will save lives by allowing us to activate our response plans before the arrival [It's here now] of a pandemic virus to the U.S., activate additional surveillance systems and initiate vaccine production and administration.
Expand our domestic livestock and wildlife surveillance activities to ensure early warning of the spread of an outbreak to our shores. [Factory farms?]
Develop and exercise mechanisms to provide active and passive surveillance during an outbreak, both within and beyond our borders.
Expand and enhance mechanisms for screening and monitoring animals that may harbor viruses with pandemic potential.
Develop screening and monitoring mechanisms and agreements to appropriately control travel and shipping of potentially infected products [Products like pork?] to and from affected regions if necessary, and to protect unaffected populations. [Like children who eat school lunches?]
Provide guidance and support of infection-control and containment, including those circumstances where social distancing measures, limitations on gatherings, or quarantine authority may be an appropriate public health intervention.
Provide guidance for states, localities and industry on best practices to prevent the spread of avian influenza in commercial, domestic and wild birds, and other animals. [Birds like chickens? Other animals, like Smithfield Foods' commercially murdered sick La Gloria pigs?]
Encourage all levels of government, domestically and globally, to take appropriate and lawful action to contain an outbreak within the borders of their community, province, state or nation.
Determine the spectrum of infrastructure-sustainment activities that the U.S. military and other government entities may be able to support during a pandemic, contingent upon primary mission requirements, and develop mechanisms to activate them.
Work with state and local governments to develop guidelines to assure the public of the safety of the food supply and mitigate the risk of exposure from wildlife. [Factory farms]

One corpse-munching nation under god, indigestible, with death and misery for all -
We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common good, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish veganism for the United States of America
