During a #pandemic, if you must meet face-to-face, use large rooms. They have better ventilation. http://t.co/LSd2OZSe It's time we all began to take seriously the warning about a possible influenza pandemic. Whether or not your organization has a plan, you can do much to reduce your own chances of infection, and the chances of mass infection, by adopting a set of practices known as social distancing.

Bird flu debate: Should H5N1 experiments resume? | @scoopit http://t.co/Z17q5PjI Virologists making mutated versions of the H5N1 bird flu halted their research in January after a U.S. government advisory panel suggested that their work, though well-intentioned, had the potential to endanger the public . ... An essay coauthored by Fouchier and Kawaoka, with researcher Adolfo García-Sastre, argues that research that has already received approval should be permitted to resume. “It is unreasonable to extend the pause on H5N1 transmission research until every country has made a final decision” on how to proceed, they wrote. “To contribute meaningfully to pandemic preparedness, we need to conduct more experiments to better understand transmission of H5N1 viruses in mammals, in a timely manner.” For now, the work remains at a halt. As of Wednesday, the World Health Organization reported that 359 people had died between 2003 and 2012 after catching H5N1 — nearly 60% of confirmed cases. http://mbio.asm.org/   Thanks Ken Y A-B!

I liked a @YouTube video http://t.co/JpCZ7F8I Pandemic! DOCUMENTATION: http://www.corbettreport.com/?p=5773 Corbett Report Radio #226 Be afraid, citizens! Be very afraid! The WHO is back in town, warning of a new potential pandemic threat. If that fact brings to mind flashbacks of the 2009 swine flu pandemic hype then you've been paying attention. Tonight on the program James breaks down the constant low-level conditioning to accept the next big pandemic scare, where that pandemic is likely to come from, and what might happen in its wake.
