What of the Online World if we Have a Flu Pandemic

My friend and colleauge Bill Harris of Facilitated Systems has suggested that those of us who teach/support/do online group work may be seeing a huge need for our services if there is a avian flu pandemic. How many people will opt to meet online rather than go into an office or travel to an affected region? I suspect plenty.

But today via a Wired article, Games Tackle Disaster Training, it is clear that many online forms may have a place in responding to a pandemic (and theoretically any other form of disaster.)
"The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is funding a series of computer games to help prepare health workers and other first responders facing bioterror attacks, nuclear accidents and pandemics."
Makes sense.

If you were preparing your company for a pandemic, what would you be doing to make sure the wheels of human interaction still went round for you?
