Key Facts About Avian Influenza
What is CDC doing to prepare for a possible H5N1 flu pandemic?
CDC is taking part in a number of pandemic prevention and preparedness activities, including: Working with the Association of Public Health Laboratories on training workshops for state laboratories on the use of special laboratory (molecular) techniques to identify H5 viruses. Working with the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists and others to help states with their pandemic planning efforts. Working with other agencies such as the Department of Defense and the Veterans Administration on antiviral stockpile issues. Working with the World Health Organization (WHO) and Vietnamese Ministry of Health to investigate influenza H5N1 in Vietnam and to provide help in laboratory diagnostics and training to local authorities. Performing laboratory testing of H5N1 viruses. Starting a $5.5 million initiative to improve influenza surveillance in Asia. Holding or taking part in training sessions to improve local capacities to conduct surveillance for possible human cases of H5N1 and to detect influenza A H5 viruses by using laboratory techniques. Developing and distributing reagents kits to detect the currently circulating influenza A H5N1 viruses. Working together with WHO and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) on safety testing of vaccine seed candidates and to develop additional vaccine virus seed candidates for influenza A (H5N1) and other subtypes of influenza A virus. ---------- From Above: "Working with other agencies such as the Department of Defense and the Veterans Administration on antiviral stockpile issues." There working with the DoD alright but not just about antiviral stockpiles. They have scenarios for total lock downs of towns and cities. There will be no bugging out to anywhere. Were not talking about the National Gaurd comming to your town,. The US Armed Forces will come to enforce the Marshal Law. Out of all the possible events that could happen out side of a nuke going off in a major city this is the most likely one to happen I my life time. The news media has been down playing the roll of the US Armed Forces in the event of a major outbreak stating that they will just be shutting down airports and major highways if that. Man whatever! They will lock you down and let you die out in order to control the outbreak. Or maybe not, they could just sit around and talk about things while people are dying like in N.O.
