There are two ways to look at this situation:
1) The government does too little (in the opinion of some people), a pandemic breaks out, and people complain that the government did not do enough to prevent the pandemic; think Hurricane Katrina and New Orleans).
2) The government over-reacts (in the opinion of some people) and a pandemic does not break out.
When situations like the H1N1 flu presents itself, it is difficult to chart the perfect course. We as sports officials are taught to always error on the side of safety when it pertains to the participants. And over-reacting in response to a possible health crisis is no different when we, as sports officials err on the side of cautioin with regard to the safety of the participants.
