By five years after, most companies who could be affected by such an

But this is of cases that were (a) bad enough that the person went to a

soup, and it will go away in a few days.

Is there a report which extrapolates the UNREPORTED cases and estimates
the mortality rate from that?  [And does anyone have any basis on which

Let's extrapolate from an event that I know of, and remember. In 1976, a 
particularly dangerous strain of flu, Victoria, was the influenza du 
jour. As in most strains, there were two versions: Victoria-B, where 
your life sucked for a few days, and then you got on with it, and 
Victoria-A, which was life threatening, and BTW, yet another bird flu 
entry. I'm not going to post a bunch of links, but if you want 
entertainment (or validation) influenza victoria 1976 in Google will 
give you hours of interesting data.


I had the A strain, and was gravely ill. My lungs are scarred as though 
I had had tuberculosis, and I'm grateful that was the only damage. In 
just the area I lived in, there were multiple deaths reported. The 
outbreaks were localized, but quite dramatic in those geographical areas 
where it took off. I don't mean to add to the hysteria, but I also would 
prefer that you not discount it. Much will depend on your local area, on 
whether people are tightly clustered (NYC, LA), or thinly populated 
(Wyoming, North Dakota).

E.S., I apologise if I sounded like I wished to discount any danger.
There is a possibility of danger.  There often is.  I may just be tired
of people making noises as if this particular danger were guaranteed.
Although it is guaranteed that SOME disaster will befall us, at SOME
time, and so we should in general prepare for A disaster, there is no
guarantee that this is that one (nor that it isn't!).  I also have
enough trouble fully comprehending the entire theory of statistics that
I feel it necessary to question when a study based on the 50 worst cases
is used to extrapolate to the entire population.

And I am a mathematician by nature and training.  Just, it would seem,
not THAT kind of a mathematician.  ;-)

Five years after 9/11 you would think that people would have located 
business continuity ops much further away (assuming the businesses are 
based in NYC) than NJ.  I'm sure that regulations require them to be x 
miles or in another state.  But all things should considered... even the 
capability for major catastrophic incident(s) to affect primary and 
(nearby) secondary sites.


I think the reasons are probably due to companies/governments thinking 
(hoping?) that in the event of a catastrophic event the business would 
be able to get ppl from site A to site B.  To me it is ridiculous to 
assume that anyone would be left at site A, or even in the vicinity of 
site A.  And if they are still around site A after a catastrophic event, 
would they behave normally and could they be counted on (families, 
fears, trauma, etc)?  I'm an employee, but in desperate times my family 
comes first (that is a no brainer decision that every CIO should think 
about).


Put your major data/ops centers on different continents, or at least on 
different coasts.  Not big enough to do that?  Outsource to someone who 
is.  Don't want to spend the money?  Partner with a non-competing 
similar business that is strategically located away from yours.  Don't 
do the minimum to insure your business survival, do the maximum.


Disclaimer: I work for someone who provides outsourcing services 
including the area of business continuity.
