When I landed at Auckland Airport a few weeks ago from San Fransisco, I was met by a bevy of health professionals. Today, I guess they are spread thinly across New Zealand's landscape facing the almost inevitable pandemic.
News in today's Bay of Plenty Times reported the second confirmed case in Tauranga. The victim worked in Briscoes. That's 100 metres from this office. And 5 co-workers have gone down with flu-like symptoms - all are now in isolation and taking Tamiflu.
I went into Briscoes a couple of days ago. Not surprisingly, there is no bevy outside the store today. We are way past that. Swine flu is here and it's getting pretty damn close.
