Warning! Warning!
In an ironic note, coming off this bird flu scare, we got an e-mail from the U.S. Consulate in Chengdu. It was an e-mail about the nuclear test in North Korea, basically stating that there was no apparent threat to Americans here in China. Furthur into the mail was the line, "As a standing policy, the Embassy urges Americans residing anywhere overseas to always be prepared for the possibility of an emergency." Good advice. But in this case, I think that the prudent response would be to stay put rather than go to a place where the missles might be pointed.
