I disagree. If anything, the administration has ignored disaster preparedness to date. Some very credible sources have pegged the number of dead at 30 million. And that is in the US alone, not worldwide.

There are a number of things that have to fall into place for that to happen, but all are within the realm of possibility, and not "science fiction." If H5N1 or a variant manages to jump species (which it has), remain virulent, and be easily transmissible between humans, look out.
