You mean Plan-demic. its the new 9-11 its the freaking flu people. Look after your little kids and old folks make sure you don't get any lung infections you'll be fine.
The Massachusetts Senate has unanimously passed a pandemic flu preparation bill that has languished in the Legislature before the recent swine flu outbreak.
The 36-0 vote today sends the measure to the House. Both branches have taken it up in past years, but have not been able to agree on the details.

The bill specifically mandates the following:

(6) to control ingress to and egress from any stricken or threatened public area, and the movement of persons and materials within the area;
1st Amendment
(7) to adopt and enforce measures to provide for the safe disposal of infectious waste and human remains, provided that religious, cultural, family, and individual beliefs of the deceased person shall be followed to the extent possible when disposing of human remains, whenever that may be done without endangering the public health;

13th Amendment (Slavery)
Any person who knowingly violates an order of the commissioner or his or her designee, or of a local public health authority or its designee, given to effectuate the purposes of this subsection shall be punished by imprisonment for not more than 6 months, or by a fine of note more than one thousand dollars, or both.
