Schools and Pandemic Preparedness

DemfromCT -- a blogger on DailyKos -- has another interesting post on school closure and pandemic preparedness. It is about many things, among more information on exercises that show that in the US school closure may not be in time to help much, and an interesting comparison with a recent minor outbreak in Hong Kong, where, apparently, parents held students home from school in a "precautionary" fashion before a decision was taken to close schools. Also interesting is the mention of the role that blogs and the internet more generally would play in a pandemic.

The special issue of Interfaces journal from 2006 was entitled: Homeland Security: Operations Research Initiatives and Applications. You might find some of the papers interesting, since they touch on broad range of topics discussed on this blog. Some of the topics are bio-security/terrorism, emergency response and critical infrastructures. The article number 6 is especially interesting, since the author starts by drawing a direct link between homeland security and the genealogy of operations research expertise that we have been tracing in OEP research.

Brief End-Of-Year Update on Avian Flu

By: Carlo Caduff
Posted in avian flu on December 26th, 2007
Despite recent spikes in H5N1 avian influenza activity in humans and birds, there have been fewer bird outbreaks in fewer countries this year [2007] than in 2006, according to a preliminary report from the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). CIDRAP News [edited]

<http://www.cidrap.umn.edu/cidrap/content/influenza/avianflu/news/dec1907fao.html>

 

 

Despite recent spikes in H5N1 avian influenza activity in humans and birds, there have been fewer bird outbreaks in fewer countries this

year [2007] than in 2006, according to a preliminary report from the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).

 

As of 10 Dec 2007, 30 countries had reported H5N1 cases in birds this year [2007], compared with 54 in 2006, the FAO reported. This year, 5

countries have reported their 1st outbreaks: Bangladesh, Benin, Ghana, Saudi Arabia, and Togo. Except for sporadic outbreaks in wild

birds, most of the H5N1 cases this year occurred in domestic poultry, such as chickens, turkeys, geese, ducks, and quail.

 

The H5N1 outbreaks seemed to follow a seasonal pattern, in line with

evidence that cooler temperatures are more favorable to influenza

viruses. The FAO said outbreak numbers in 2007 were high between

January and April, declined until September, and then started rising

again in November and December.

 

Increased awareness and improved disease surveillance have enabled

countries such as India, Romania, Malaysia, and Turkey to detect and

control the spread of the H5N1 virus, the FAO reported. However, the

disease persists in Asia, Africa, and Europe and poses a risk for

countries that have controlled outbreaks in the past and those that

have not experienced infections yet, the organization stated.

 

The FAO said Indonesia is still having a large number of H5N1

outbreaks in poultry, which largely reflects a new "participatory

disease search" program designed to detect infections in backyard

poultry. The program, with support from the FAO, is operating in 162

districts and 9 provinces.

 

Among other Asian hot spots for the disease, Viet Nam reported H5N1

outbreaks in 22 provinces in May 2007, the FAO reported. It said the

disease appears to be endemic in Bangladesh.

 

China had H5N1 outbreaks in Tibet in March 2007, Hunan province in

May 2007, and Guangdong province in September 2007, the agency said.

In addition, routine surveillance detected the virus in March and

April 2007 in the southern Chinese provinces of Fujian, Guangdong,

Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan, and Chongqing, the FAO reported. Also, wild

bird deaths were reported in Hong Kong but not in mainland China.

 

The only Middle Eastern country reporting an H5N1 outbreak so far

this year [2007] has been Saudi Arabia, which had its 1st cases in

March 2007, followed by several outbreaks near Riyadh in November

2007 [Seven outbreaks officially reported to the OIE, but unofficial

data mention 38 outbreaks since November 2007; see 20071224.4131. - Mod.AS].

 

In Africa, 4 countries have reported H5N1 outbreaks in 2007, and the

FAO said the virus is considered endemic in Egypt and possibly in

Nigeria. "Several countries in West, Central, South, and North Africa

are at risk of becoming infected, and early warning, surveillance,

and preventive measures should urgently be taken," the organization reported.
