We suggest that you all should read the World Health Organization (WHO) Checklist for Influenza Pandemic Such as this Mexican Flu 2009
This is a very sincere and sobering document.
World Health Organization (W.H.O.)
Department of Communicable Disease
Surveillance and Response
Global Influenza Programme
WHO checklist for
influenza pandemic
preparedness planning
Starts out with “Some time in the future.”
(Note: that some time is now!)
Very detailed official list of what governemts, medical care treatment centers, and individuals should do in a pandemic such as this Mexican Flu 2009 outbreak.
“Are you prepared?”
“Consequences of an influenza pandemic”
Previous pandemics officially named as; “1918 (H1N1, the Spanish flu),
1957 (H2N2, the Asian flu) and 1968 (H3N2, the Hong Kong flu.)”
(Is there anyone that can deny that this one will become officially known as “the Mexican Flu 2009″?)
The check list is arranged thusly:
“The checklist is intended to be comprehensive. It has been divided into
the following main sections:
— Preparing for an emergency
— Surveillance
— Case investigation and treatment
— Preventing spread of the disease in the community
— Maintaining essential services
— Research and evaluation
— Implementation, testing and revision of the national plan”
This is excellent information officially published by the world Health Organization and is the program that has been ordered to be put in place immediately by all members of the W.H.O. throughout the world.
You should read it too!
