Thanks for the story find Trey )
I agree, it's probably an announcement of readiness planning and local exercises in prepping for such a contingency. Still it makes me wonder if something more serious is about and if so, there should be at least anecdotal reports getting out of any area where there are any large numbers of casualties.
Yet the story is shocking in its scope and tone.

0

There have been very few reports on the flu in Indonesia recently. The reports I saw were H1N1 news of other countries but rarely on their own status. This article about training seems unusual, even surprising to me.
