Canadians May Not Work if Bird Flu Invades
From an AP report:OTTAWA - Health and security workers at airports and other key sites might refuse to work during a bird flu outbreak, complicating efforts to handle such a crisis, a Canadian government intelligence report warns.
The report says the entire country would probably experience "shortages of everything from fresh food and health supplies" due to worker sickness and fear of public exposure, the Canadian Press news agency reported Thursday.
The prospect of front-line staff at border points and airports staying home is among the worrisome scenarios flagged by analysts bracing for a possible flu pandemic.
