One would have expected these experts to distinguish the enormous difference in severity between the bird and swine flu pandemics, and respond accordingly. Scuttlebut at the time of WHOs June 11 declaration was that different countries had been jockeying to influence the decision, suggesting that politics influenced the declaration. WHO Director-General Chan says that, At no time, not for one second, did commercial interests enter my decision-making, Okay. But then, what did lead Dr. Chan to raise the pandemic level last June? And what has led her to retain that designation today, when there is no serious swine flu pandemic anywhere? Given that the current (absent) state of swine flu disease is still being called a maximum Level 6 Pandemic by WHO, Id advise countries with pandemic vaccine contracts that will be activated by future WHO pandemic designations to scuttle those contracts, asap ...

Guidance on Preparing Workplaces for an Influenza PandemicGuidance on Preparing Workplaces for an Influenza Pandemic
Excerpt] A pandemic is a global disease outbreak. An influenza pandemic occurs when a new influenza virus emerges for which there is little or no immunity in the human population, begins to cause serious illness and then spreads easily person-to- person worldwide. A worldwide influenza pandemic could have a major effect on the global economy, including travel, trade, tourism, food, consumption and eventually, investment and financial markets. Planning for pandemic influenza by business and industry is essential to minimize a pandemics impact. Companies that provide critical infrastructure services, such as power and telecommunications, also have a special responsibility to plan for continued operation in a crisis and should plan accordingly. As with any catastrophe, having a contingency plan is essential. In the event of an influenza pandemic, employers will play a key role in protecting employees health and safety as well as in limiting the impact on the economy and society. Employers will ...

Avian Flu Diary: HHS 2017 Influenza Pandemic Update: Planning AssumptionsAvian Flu Diary: HHS 2017 Influenza Pandemic Update: Planning Assumptions
Because the precise impact of a future pandemic is unpredictable, national, state, and local planners need multiple scenarios for pandemic planning to implement rapid response efforts. The timing and progression of a pandemic, as well as its severity and transmissibility, will determine the mitigation measures selected. HHS will use several possible scenarios for pandemic planning, including a future pandemic that is moderate in severity, a pandemic that is severe, and one that is very severe in its effects on human health. These scenarios will provide a way to plan for use of response measures scaled to different levels of pandemic severity. ...

Pathogenic Responses among Young Adults during the 1918 Influenza Pandemic - Volume 18, Number 2-February 2012 - Emerging...
Of the unexplained characteristics of the 1918-19 influenza pandemic, the extreme mortality rate among young adults (W-shaped mortality curve) is the foremost. Lack of a coherent explanation of this and other epidemiologic and clinical manifestations of the pandemic contributes to uncertainty in preparing for future pandemics. Contemporaneous records suggest that immunopathologic responses were a critical determinant of the high mortality rate among young adults and other high-risk subgroups. Historical records and findings from laboratory animal studies suggest that persons who were exposed to influenza once before 1918 (e.g., A/H3Nx 1890 pandemic strain) were likely to have dysregulated, pathologic cellular immune responses to infections with the A/H1N1 1918 pandemic strain. The immunopathologic effects transiently increased susceptibility to ultimately lethal secondary bacterial pneumonia. The extreme mortality rate associated with the 1918-19 pandemic is unlikely to recur naturally. However, T-cell

Summer flu outbreak of 1918 may have provided partial protection against lethal fall pandemic - Fogarty International Center @...
Recent studies of the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic have dramatically altered scientists understanding of its transmission and could provide insight into planning for future pandemics, according to a recent study co-authored by a Fogarty scientist.. A summer wave of influenza may have provided partial protection against the lethal fall wave of the 1918 Influenza pandemic in Copenhagen, Denmark, according to the analysis published recently in the Journal of Infectious Diseases. The Spanish Flu pandemic killed over 50 million people worldwide. Historical records suggest that an early pandemic wave struck Europe during the summer of 1918. The researchers obtained surveillance data that were compiled weekly in Copenhagen and included medically treated influenza-like illnesses, hospitalizations and deaths by age.. The study team, including Fogarty scientist Cecile Viboud, report only .02 percent of Copenhagens population died during the summer wave, as compared with .27 percent during the fall wave. ...

Objective. Vaccination is an effective preventive measure to reduce influenza transmission, especially important in a pandemic. Despite messages encouraging vaccination during the last pandemic, uptake remained low (37.6% in clinical risk groups). This study investigated the effect of different types of messages regarding length, content type, and framing on vaccination intention. Method. An online experiment was conducted in February 2015. A representative sample of 1424 people living in England read a mock newspaper article about a novel influenza pandemic before being randomised to one of four conditions: standard Department of Health (DoH) (long message) and three brief theory-based messages - an abridged version of the standard DoH and two messages additionally targeting pandemic influenza severity and vaccination benefits (framed as risk-reducing or healthenhancing, respectively). Intention to be vaccinated and potential mediators were measured. Results. The shortened DoH message increased ...

In recent years, influenza viruses with pandemic potential have been a | High-Throughput Screen for the Chemical Inhibitors
In recent years, influenza viruses with pandemic potential have been a major concern worldwide. (ELISpot) assays. Mmp13 Our data show that CD4 T PSI-7977 cells reactive to both virus-specific and genetically conserved epitopes are elicited, allowing separate tracking of these responses. Populations of cross-reactive CD4 T cells generated from seasonal influenza infection were found to expand earlier after secondary infection with the pandemic H1N1 virus than CD4 T cell populations specific for new epitopes. Coincident with this rapid CD4 T cell response was a potentiated neutralizing-antibody response to the pandemic strain and protection from the pathological effects of infection with the PSI-7977 pandemic virus. This protection was not dependent on CD8 T cells. Together, our PSI-7977 results indicate that exposure to seasonal vaccines and infection elicits CD4 T cells that promote the ability of the mammalian host to mount a protective immune response to pandemic strains of influenza virus. ...

Since emergence of the pandemic (H1N1) 2009 virus in April 2009, three influenza A viruses-seasonal (H3N2), seasonal (H1N1), and pandemic (H1N1) 2009-have circulated in humans. Genetic reassortment between these viruses could result in enhanced pathogenicity. We compared 4 reassortant viruses with favorable in vitro replication properties with the wild-type pandemic (H1N1) 2009 virus with respect to replication kinetics in vitro and pathogenicity and transmission in ferrets. Pandemic (H1N1) 2009 viruses containing basic polymerase 2 alone or in combination with acidic polymerase of seasonal (H1N1) virus were attenuated in ferrets. In contrast, pandemic (H1N1) 2009 with neuraminidase of seasonal (H3N2) virus resulted in increased virus replication and more severe pulmonary lesions. The data show that pandemic (H1N1) 2009 virus has the potential to reassort with seasonal influenza viruses, which may result in increased pathogenicity while it maintains the capacity of transmission through aerosols or

Pandemic Flu » Biological » All Hazards
Pandemics involve any disease that is widespread and affects many people, in many countries around the world. There have historically been a number of pandemic situations, including smallpox, typhoid fever, and plague. In 2009, a new strain of influenza (2009 H1N1) caused the first influenza pandemic in more than 40 years. Spreading worldwide to more than 214 countries, the diseases resulted in substantial illness, hospitalizations and over 18,400 deaths. Infections in numerous animal species, including swine, turkeys, ferrets, cats and dogs also occurred.. Prevention is the key to protecting your family and your animals. Businesses also have an important role in protecting their employees health during pandemic events. Planning ahead is important components to minimize the impact of influenza on your family, farm, and business. ...

Former NIH Director Calls Trump Administrations Pandemic Response Amateur Hour . News | OPBFormer NIH Director Calls Trump Administrations Pandemic Response Amateur Hour . News | OPB
Dr. Elias Zerhouni knows the dangers of infectious disease outbreaks. He was director of the National Institutes of Health in 2005 when bird flu appeared poised to become more infectious to humans. Fortunately, that pandemic never materialized, but he says it served as a warning of what was to come.. Zerhouni has been a member of the faculty of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, and head of global research and development for the pharmaceutical company Sanofi.. I asked him about the difficulties of responding to pandemics in general, and in particular the governments response to the COVID-19 outbreak. Some of the wording has been edited for clarity.. On the Trump administrations pandemic response. It was basically amateur hour. There is no central concept of operations for preparedness, for pandemics, period.

Rapid Evaluation of Pandemic H1N1 Influenza Vaccine in Adults With HIV - Full Text View - ClinicalTrials.govRapid Evaluation of Pandemic H1N1 Influenza Vaccine in Adults With HIV - Full Text View - ClinicalTrials.gov
During the first wave of the H1N12009 pandemic in Canada, adults with immune deficiency were more likely to die with severe infections than were other Canadians. Of 76 deaths attributed to date to this new virus, 37% occurred in persons with immune system compromise. Adults with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection constitute a significant proportion of the at-risk population with over 56,000 affected individuals. Most such individuals retain some capacity to respond to influenza vaccination. The dosing regimen for the pandemic vaccine will be based on limited studies in the general population, leaving open the question of whether HIV-infected persons can respond satisfactorily to the recommended dosing. Availability of an adjuvanted formulation of the pandemic vaccine may improve responsiveness but two doses may be required for the best possible response. Thus it would be optimal to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of the pandemic vaccine among the earliest HIV-infected persons to ...

A global survey highlighting the need for a comprehensive health care plan during pandemicsA global survey highlighting the need for a comprehensive health care plan during pandemics
The COVID-19 pandemic has seriously affected health systems and health care access including sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). The healthcare industry had to restructure its services to meet the immediate demands of the pandemic. This restructuring has led to a serious disruption of reproductive maternal and neonatal health services.. This global online study surveyed professionals involved in sexual reproductive health and rights (SRHR) from around 62 countries. The survey was answered by professionals representing 29 countries. It provides a quantitative and qualitative account of the impact of the pandemic on SRHR through the voices of providers, researchers, and organizations working towards advancing womens health and rights. The study analyzed the pandemics impact on SRHR in terms of access to SRHR services and governments responses to mitigate the effect of the pandemic on these services.. The study revealed that most countries represented in the survey had seen an ...

A Note on Long-Run Persistence of Public Health Outcomes in PandemicsA Note on Long-Run Persistence of Public Health Outcomes in Pandemics
Covid-19 is the single largest threat to global public health since the Spanish Influenza pandemic of 1918-20. Was the world better prepared in 2020 than it was in 1918? After a century of public health and basic science research, pandemic response and mortality outcomes should be better than in 1918-20. We ask whether mortality from historical pandemics has any predictive content for mortality in the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. We find a strong persistence in public health performance in the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic. Places that performed poorly in terms of mortality in 1918 were more likely to have higher mortality today. This is true across countries and across a sample of US cities. Experience with SARS is associated with lower mortality today. Distrust of expert advice, lack of cooperation at many levels, over-confidence, and health care supply shortages have likely promoted higher mortality today as in the past. ...

AU - Chowell, G.. AU - Gumel, A. B.. PY - 2007/6/22. Y1 - 2007/6/22. N2 - An increasing number of avian flu cases in humans, arising primarily from direct contact with poultry, in several regions of the world have prompted the urgency to develop pandemic preparedness plans worldwide. Leading recommendations in these plans include basic public health control measures for minimizing transmission in hospitals and communities, the use of antiviral drugs and vaccination. This paper presents a mathematical model for the evaluation of the pandemic flu preparedness plans of the United States (US), the United Kingdom (UK) and the Netherlands. The model is used to assess single and combined interventions. Using data from the US, we show that hospital and community transmission control measures alone can be highly ...

The World Health Organization said Tuesday a spike in swine flu cases in Australia may push it to finally announce the first flu pandemic in 41 years. It also expressed concern about an unusual rise in severe illness from the disease in Canada. WHOs flu chief Keiji Fukuda said the agency wanted to avoid adverse effects if it announces a global outbreak of swine flu. Fukuda said people might panic or that governments might take inappropriate actions if WHO declares a pandemic. Some flu experts think the world already is in a pandemic and that WHO has caved in to country requests that a declaration be postponed. On the surface of it, I think we are in phase 6, or a pandemic, said Margaret Chan, WHOs director-general. ...

Bad pandemic PR | FSFinalWord.comBad pandemic PR | FSFinalWord.com
The World Health Organization didnt exist in 1918, so it couldnt declare a global Spanish flu pandemic that would override all national health laws. As Václav Drchal of Hrot pointed out in April of this year, Lidové noviny and other local publications initially paid scant attention to the disease in 1918, usually burying reports about it on back pages. Not so today, of course. Hardly anyone is sick with covid-19 in the CR, but its still among the top news stories. By the cabinets definition, a pandemic is an epidemic of a large scale affecting entire continents and with a high incidence rate over a large area. Yet the pandemic is so narrowly contained in the CR that the local head of the WHO, Srdan Matić, acknowledged last week to TV Prima that he personally knows no one who has caught the disease. This makes for really bad pandemic PR. If the WHO wants to continue to enforce a global pandemic, the local head of the agency should at least be able to say he has visited hundreds of ...

Franchising in a (Nearly) Post-Pandemic World - QSR Online - Burr & FormanFranchising in a (Nearly) Post-Pandemic World - QSR Online - Burr & Forman
This article originally appeared on QSR on July 21, 2021.. April Mason authored an article for Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) online, published July 21, 2021, discussing franchising opportunities and challenges in the food service industry as we look forward to a post-pandemic world.. While many restaurants were hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic and unable to survive the shutdowns, others were well equipped for off-premises sales or able to quickly pivot to new offerings, which has given them sustained potential for growth through franchising. This includes those who have adapted to accommodate rising preference for curbside pick-up and delivery, as well as brands that have developed effective apps and technology to drive more sales. Another advantage for those franchises that effectively navigated the pandemic is an abundance of desirable real estate due to a spike in closures.. However, the post-pandemic era is not without challenges for restaurants looking to grow via franchising. First, the ...

BACKGROUND: Kidney transplant recipients have increased danger of infectious ailments on account of their reliance on immunosuppression. Through the present COVID-19 pandemic, some clinicians might need opted for much less potent immunosuppressive brokers to counterbalance the novel infectious danger. We performed a nationwide research to characterize immunosuppression use and subsequent scientific outcomes through the first 5 months of COVID-19 pandemic in the US.. METHODS: Utilizing knowledge from the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients, we studied all kidney-only recipients in the US from 1/1/2017 to three/12/2020 (prepandemic period; n=64 849) and from 3/13/2020 to 7/31/2020 (pandemic period; n=5035).

Track Viruses, Not Animal Carriers, to Prevent Future Pandemics
WEDNESDAY, April 15, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Trying to identify animals that are most likely to transmit viruses to humans may not help prevent future pandemics, researchers say.. Instead, the focus should be on specific types of viruses and how they spread, they suggest.. The current coronavirus pandemic is believed to have originated in bats, and most emerging infectious diseases are zoonotic, meaning that theyre spread from animals to humans, according to researchers from the University of Glasgow in Scotland.. This pandemic shows the serious health and economic threat that zoonotic viruses pose, so its crucial to learn more about them.. This study found little variation in the proportion of zoonotic viruses in 11 major orders of birds and mammals, and that animal orders with more species hosted more viruses overall and more zoonotic viruses.. The findings challenge the belief that certain animal reservoirs, such as bats, pose a heightened risk of spreading viruses to humans, according to ...

The situation is complicated further by the occurrence of epistatic changes within HA and between HA and NA to maximizeviral fitness following selection. Moreover, substitutions selected to modulate receptor avidity will inevitably modify receptor specificity for various sialic acid terminated-glycans and vice versa. From leaves to forest: even in the simplest species (viruses), evolution is complicated, and oversimplified analysis leads to all sorts of errors, including those with practical ramifications in interpreting sequences for choosing vaccine strains. doi:10.1016/j.phrp.2011.11.021 Lessons Learnt from (HIN1)2009 Influenza Pandemic for Preparedness Against Future Pandemics Masato Tashiro Director, WHO Collaborating Centre for Research and Reference on Influenza Influenza Virus Research Center, National Institute of Infectious Diseases, Japan.

SaverLife, a national nonprofit fintech company that helps working families achieve prosperity through savings, today unveiled Hardest Hit: Unheard Voices of the Pandemic. The new story series chronicles how five low-income women were brought to the brink and are surviving during the pandemic. No life has been left untouched by the COVID-19 pandemic, but as the weeks unfolded from its earliest beginnings, SaverLife saw firsthand the financial difficulties faced by its members. But even more concerning was how devastating the pandemic has been for women. Why Women? The pandemic has driven women out of the workforce at higher rates than men. News reports have found that in September 2020 alone, women dropped out of the workforce at four times the rate of men. A quarter of those women reported that they were forced into unemployment because of the need to take care of their children in the face of school and daycare closures. This disparity is even worse for women of color. According to September ...

This is key during a pandemic such as Covid-19 where the world is facing a global impact and the need for a pandemic-related public art framework has been sought globally by art societies and researchers to revitalize the society. However, due to the pace of this pandemic, most city art strategy papers require a framework for pandemic related public art especially in Toronto which has an agenda of moving towards becoming a smart city and public art should reflect that.

N2 - How influenza A viruses host-jump from animal reservoir species to humans, which can initiate global pandemics, is a central question in pathogen evolution. The zoonotic and spatial origins of the influenza virus associated with the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918 have been debated for decades. Outbreaks of respiratory disease in US swine occurred concurrently with disease in humans, raising the possibility that the 1918 virus originated in pigs. Swine also were proposed as mixing vessel intermediary hosts between birds and humans during the 1957 Asian and 1968 Hong Kong pandemics. Swine have presented an attractive explanation for how avian viruses overcome the substantial evolutionary barriers presented by different cellular environments in humans and birds.

Excess influenza hospital admissions and costs due to the 2009 H1N1 pandemic in EnglandExcess influenza hospital admissions and costs due to the 2009 H1N1 pandemic in England
Downloadable! Influenza pandemics considerably burden affected health systems due to surges in inpatient admissions and associated costs. Previous studies underestimate or overestimate 2009/2010 influenza A/H1N1 pandemic hospital admissions and costs. We robustly estimate overall and age‐specific weekly H1N1 admissions and costs between June 2009 and March 2011 across 170 English hospitals. We calculate H1N1 admissions and costs as the difference between our administrative data of all influenza‐like‐illness patients (seasonal and pandemic alike) and a counterfactual of expected weekly seasonal influenza admissions and costs established using time‐series models on prepandemic (2004-2008) data. We find two waves of H1N1 admissions: one pandemic wave (June 2009-March 2010) with 10,348 admissions costing £20.5 million and one postpandemic wave (November 2010-March 2011) with 11,775 admissions costing £24.8 million.

Interleukin-6 Is a Potential Biomarker for Severe Pandemic H1N1 Influenza A InfectionInterleukin-6 Is a Potential Biomarker for Severe Pandemic H1N1 Influenza A Infection
Pandemic H1N1 influenza A (H1N1pdm) is currently a dominant circulating influenza strain worldwide. Severe cases of H1N1pdm infection are characterized by prolonged activation of the immune response, yet the specific role of inflammatory mediators in disease is poorly understood. The inflammatory cytokine IL-6 has been implicated in both seasonal and severe pandemic H1N1 influenza A (H1N1pdm) infection. Here, we investigated the role of IL-6 in severe H1N1pdm infection. We found IL-6 to be an important feature of the host response in both humans and mice infected with H1N1pdm. Elevated levels of IL-6 were associated with severe disease in patients hospitalized with H1N1pdm infection. Notably, serum IL-6 levels associated strongly with the requirement of critical care admission and were predictive of fatal outcome. In C57BL/6J, BALB/cJ, and B6129SF2/J mice, infection with A/Mexico/4108/2009 (H1N1pdm) consistently triggered severe disease and increased IL-6 levels in both lung and serum. Furthermore, in

Influenza pandemic of 1918 - Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaInfluenza pandemic of 1918 - Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Influenza pandemic of 1918 was a heavy pandemic of influenza. It lasted from January 1918 to December 1920.[1] About 500 million[1] people were infected across the world. The pandemic spread to remote Pacific Islands and the Arctic. It killed 50 million[2] to 100 million people[3]-3 to 5 percent of the worlds population at the time.[3] This means it was one of the deadliest natural disasters in human history.[1][4][5][6]. To maintain morale, wartime censors minimized early reports of illness and mortality in Germany, Britain, France, and the United States;[7][8] but papers were free to report the epidemics effects in neutral Spain (such as the grave illness of King Alfonso XIII). This situation created the false impression of Spain being especially hard-hit.[9] It also resulted in the nickname Spanish flu.[10]. In most cases, influenza outbreaks kill young people, or the elderly, or those patients that are already weakened. This was not the case for the 1918 pandemic, which killed ...

Background: The 2009 pandemic influenza A (H1N1) (PIA) virus infected large parts of the pediatric population with a wide clinical spectrum and an initially unknown complication rate. The aims of our study were to define clinical characteristics and outcome of pandemic influenza A (H1N1) 2009-associated hospitalizations (PIAH) in children |18 years of age. All hospitalized cases of children |18 years of age with laboratory-confirmed pandemic influenza A (H1N1) 2009 in the region of Wuerzburg (Northern Bavaria, Germany) between July 2009 and March 2010 were identified. For these children a medical chart review was performed to determine their clinical characteristics and complications. Results: Between July 2009 and March 2010, 94 PIAH (62% males) occurred in children |18 years of age, with a median age of 7 years (IQR: 3-12 years). Underlying diseases and predisposing factors were documented in 40 (43%) children; obesity (n = 12, 30%), asthma (n = 10, 25%) and neurologic disorders (n = 8, 20%) were most

Prioritization of delayed vaccination for pandemic influenzaPrioritization of delayed vaccination for pandemic influenza
Limited production capacity and delays in vaccine development are major obstacles to vaccination programs that are designed to mitigate a pandemic influenza. In order to evaluate and compare the impact of various vaccination strategies during a pandemic influenza, we developed an age/risk-structured model of influenza transmission, and parameterized it with epidemiological data from the 2009 H1N1 influenza A pandemic. Our model predicts that the impact of vaccination would be considerably diminished by delays in vaccination and staggered vaccine supply. Nonetheless, prioritizing limited H1N1 vaccine to individuals with a high risk of complications, followed by school-age children, and then preschool-age children, would minimize an overall attack rate as well as hospitalizations and deaths. This vaccination scheme would maximize the benefits of vaccination by protecting the high-risk people directly, and generating indirect protection by vaccinating children who are most likely to transmit

All About Pandemics (Epidemic of Infectious Disease) by Victoria Lacroix - RUBBERPIXY.COM Book Archive
Sixth cholera pandemic Drawing of Death bringing the cholera, in Le Petit Journal The sixth cholera pandemic was a major outbreak of cholera from the years 1899 to 1923. It killed more than 800,000 in India then erupted in the Middle East, northern Africa, Russia and Eastern Europe. The last outbreak in the United States was in 1910-1911 when the steamship Moltke brought infected people to New York City. Vigilant health authorities isolated the infected on Swinburne Island. Eleven people died, including a health care worker at Swinburne Island. Wave nature Flu pandemics typically come in waves. The 1889-1890 and 1918-1919 flu pandemics each came in three or four waves of increasing lethality. But within a wave, mortality was greater at the beginning of the wave. Variable mortality Mortality varies widely in a pandemic. S. Army camps where reasonably reliable statistics were kept, case mortality often exceeded 5 percent, and in some circumstances exceeded 10 percent. 9 percent. In isolated human ...

How the Pandemic Has Changed Child Support Programs
We gathered the results in this white paper on The Future of Child Support. As we discussed the many disruptions caused by the pandemic, it was clear that operational shutdowns and the transition to digital options had redefined how child support services were delivered in most states. As more time passed, operations settled into a new normal, and while the pandemic continued to disrupt nearly every aspect of our lives, child support programs found new ways to meet their charter despite the pandemics challenges. And many IV-D directors decided to take the opportunity to look at their programs and find ways to make positive change. So as 2021 began, we followed up with the same set of state child support directors to revisit the pandemics short-term and long-term impacts. We looked for patterns in their responses and provided our own insights, releasing the results in a second white paper, Child Support in a Pandemic and Beyond. While this weeks in-person gathering was a welcome change ...

Exclusive: GSK says science does not link pandemic H1N1 flu vaccine to sleep disorder - Metro USExclusive: GSK says science does not link pandemic H1N1 flu vaccine to sleep disorder - Metro US
LONDON (Reuters) - British drugmaker GSK ,GSK.L, said on Thursday that its previous flu pandemic vaccine, which used some of the same ingredients as COVID-19 vaccines currently under development, was not linked to a rise in cases of the sleep disorder narcolepsy.. A spokesman for GSK said the science has moved on since concerns were raised about links between narcolepsy and its H1N1 vaccine, called Pandemrix, which was developed during the flu pandemic 10 years ago. He said evidence now suggests the link is to the H1N1 flu virus itself, not the vaccine.. Previous studies in several countries, including Britain, Finland, Sweden and Ireland, where GSKs Pandemrix vaccine was used in the 2009/2010 flu pandemic, had suggested its use was linked to a significant rise in cases of narcolepsy in children.. Pandemrixs ingredients included a booster, or adjuvant, known as AS03, which GSK said on Thursday it planned to produce in large volume for possible use in COVID-19 vaccines currently being ...

One hundred years after the Great Influenza pandemic of 1918, global health leadership stands at a crossroads. The United States continues to expand its policy of isolationism at a time when international cooperation in health could not be more important. The state of pandemic preparedness and the necessary steps for protecting the people throughout the world was the topic of The Scowcroft Institute for International Affairs 2nd Annual White Paper. As pandemic policy scholars, with two of us spending the majority of our career in the federal government, we believe that it is essential to prepare the country and the world for the next pandemic. It is not a matter of if, but when, the next disease will sweep the world with deadly and costly consequences. There are many topic areas that national leaders must address to create better preparedness and response capabilities, but we believe three are most urgent. These include targeting the resistance to antimicrobial agents that has come about ...

Estimated epidemiologic parameters and morbidity associated with pandemic H1N1 influenza
Background: In the face of an influenza pandemic, accurate estimates of epidemiologic parameters are required to help guide decision-making. We sought to estimate epidemiologic parameters for pandemic H1N1 influenza using data from initial reports of laboratory- confirmed cases. Methods: We obtained data on laboratory- confirmed cases of pandemic H1N1 influenza reported in the prov ince of Ontario, Canada, with dates of symptom onset between Apr. 13 and June 20, 2009. Incubation periods and duration of symptoms were estimated and fit to parametric distributions. We used competing-risk models to estimate risk of hospital admission and case-fatality rates. We used a Markov Chain Monte Carlo model to simulate disease transmission. Results: The median incubation period was 4 days and the duration of symptoms was 7 days. Recovery was faster among patients less than 18 years old than among older patients (hazard ratio 1.23, 95% confidence interval 1.06- 1.44). The risk of hospital admission was 4.5% ...

A hallmark of pandemic flu throughout history, including the 2009 H1N1 pandemic, has been its ability to make healthy young and middle-aged adults seriously ill and even kill this population in disproportionate numbers. In a paper published Dec. 5 in Nature Medicine, Vanderbilt University Medical Center researchers provide a possible explanation for this alarming phenomenon of pandemic flu. The studys findings suggest people are made critically ill, or even killed, by their own immune response.

What Pandemic?: Physical Memorilization of the 1918 Pandemic by Carly M. KauffmanWhat Pandemic?: Physical Memorilization of the 1918 Pandemic by Carly M. Kauffman
Throughout history there have been many significant events the people find worth remembering. Some of these events are significant enough that people build structures to honor, commemorate, or memorialize them. However, there are some events that are also significant, yet they seem to warrant little or no memorialization. In the United States historical narrative, it seems that the Influenza Pandemic of 1918 is forgotten among the chaotic period of World War I and the interwar years. The lack of traditional memorials dedicated to the 1918 Pandemic can be attributed to the lack of acknowledgement of the pandemic in terms of the public in both the United States and other countries all over the world and the breakdown of societal norms in the eyes if survivors. Death became a routine part of life and there was little time to memorialize the dead. The casualties of WWI also overshadowed the deaths from the influenza.

Increase in suicide following an initial decline during the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan | Nature Human BehaviourIncrease in suicide following an initial decline during the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan | Nature Human Behaviour
There is increasing concern that the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic could harm psychological health and exacerbate suicide risk. Here, based on month-level records of suicides covering the entire Japanese population in 1,848 administrative units, we assessed whether suicide mortality changed during the pandemic. Using difference-in-difference estimation, we found that monthly suicide rates declined by 14% during the first 5 months of the pandemic (February to June 2020). This could be due to a number of complex reasons, including the governments generous subsidies, reduced working hours and school closure. By contrast, monthly suicide rates increased by 16% during the second wave (July to October 2020), with a larger increase among females (37%) and children and adolescents (49%). Although adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic may remain in the long term, its modifiers (such as government subsidies) may not be sustained. Thus, effective suicide prevention-particularly among vulnerable

Avian Flu Diary: Study: Natural T Cell-mediated Protection against Seasonal and Pandemic InfluenzaAvian Flu Diary: Study: Natural T Cell-mediated Protection against Seasonal and Pandemic Influenza
Rationale: A high proportion of influenza infections are asymptomatic. Animal and human challenge studies and observational studies suggest T cells protect against disease among those infected, but the impact of T-cell immunity at the population level is unknown. Objectives: To investigate whether naturally preexisting T-cell responses targeting highly conserved internal influenza proteins could provide cross-protective immunity against pandemic and seasonal influenza. Methods: We quantified influenza A(H3N2) virus-specific T cells in a population cohort during seasonal and pandemic periods between 2006 and 2010. Follow-up included paired serology, symptom reporting, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) investigation of symptomatic cases. Measurements and Main Results: A total of 1,414 unvaccinated individuals had baseline T-cell measurements (1,703 participant observation sets). T-cell responses to A(H3N2) virus nucleoprotein (NP) dominated and strongly cross-reacted with A(H1N1)pdm09 NP (P , ...

There is concern regarding the impact that a global infectious disease pandemic might have, especially the economic impact in the current financial climate. However, preparedness planning concentrates more upon population health and maintaining a functioning health sector than on the wider economic impact. We developed a single country Computable General Equilibrium model to estimate the economic impact of pandemic influenza (PI) and associated policies. While the context for this development was the United Kingdom, there are lessons to be drawn for application of this methodology, as well as indicative results, to other contexts. Disease scenarios were constructed from an epidemiological model which estimated case fatality rates (mild, moderate and severe) as 0.06%, 0.18% and 0.35%. A clinical attack rate of 35% was also used to produce influenza scenarios, together with preparedness policies, including antivirals and school closure, and the possible prophylactic absence of workers.

With an influenza pandemic seemingly imminent, we constructed a model simulating the spread of influenza within the community, in order to test the impact of various interventions. The model includes an individual level, in which the risk of influenza virus infection and the dynamics of viral shedding are simulated according to age, treatment, and vaccination status; and a community level, in which meetings between individuals are simulated on randomly generated graphs. We used data on real pandemics to calibrate some parameters of the model. The reference scenario assumes no vaccination, no use of antiviral drugs, and no preexisting herd immunity. We explored the impact of interventions such as vaccination, treatment/prophylaxis with neuraminidase inhibitors, quarantine, and closure of schools or workplaces. In the reference scenario, 57% of realizations lead to an explosive outbreak, lasting a mean of 82 days (standard deviation (SD) 12 days) and affecting 46.8% of the population on average.

COVID-19 stole lives, and its harm to the US and global economy has been catastrophic, said Greenberg. We should, in my judgement, take the lessons learned to improve our health response capabilities to future pandemics. We can also lessen the economic blow by building a financial backstop that is triggered when economic activity is disrupted. To this purpose, the insurance industry can play an important role in partnership with the federal government.. Read next: The challenge of making pandemics insurable. Pandemics are different to other catastrophic events like earthquakes, hurricanes, and floods in that they are not limited to a specific geography or time period.

Seroepidemiologic Study of Pandemic (H1N1) 2009 during Outbreak in Boarding School, England - Volume 17, Number 9-September...
This study describes the seroprevalence of infection with the pandemic (H1N1) 2009 virus in an enclosed institutional environment and provides evidence of widespread infection among both students and staff before the outbreak became evident to public health authorities. Attack rates for infection were estimated as 40.5% by serologic testing and as 34.1% by clinical illness (ARI). An estimated 44.7% serology-positive persons did not report symptoms of ARI, which agreed with previous findings (10,23). No significant association was found between seropositivity and prophylaxis with antiviral drugs, although some evidence showed that it reduced the odds of ARI. The point estimate of the AOR indicated nonsignificant increased odds of infection (indicated by serologic results) for persons who had received the 2008-09 seasonal influenza vaccine, although it did not increase the odds for ARI.. Our study has some limitations, however. The uncertainty regarding the associated illness of pandemic (H1N1) ...

Swine flu strain with human pandemic potential increasingly found in Chinese pigs | Science - The Hub Press
focuses on an influenza virus dubbed G4. The virus is a unique blend of three lineages: one similar to strains found in European and Asian birds, the H1N1 strain that caused the 2009 pandemic, and a North American H1N1 that has genes from avian, human, and pig influenza viruses.. The G4 variant is especially concerning because its core is an avian influenza virus-to which humans have no immunity-with bits of mammalian strains mixed in. From the data presented, it appears that this is a swine influenza virus that is poised to emerge in humans, says Edward Holmes, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Sydney who studies pathogens. Clearly this situation needs to be monitored very closely.. As part of a project to identify potential pandemic influenza strains, a team led by Liu Jinhua from the China Agricultural University (CAU) analyzed nearly 30,000 nasal swabs taken from pigs at slaughterhouses in 10 Chinese provinces, and another 1000 swabs from pigs with respiratory symptoms seen ...

This week marks five months since Indonesia closed its borders to international tourists in a response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Given Lomboks popularity as a tourist destination, the restrictions have disrupted the islands economy, leaving many residents without their main source of income. It is with this in mind that charities such as the Invest Islands Foundation, the Lombok Eco International Connection, and Endri Foundation have launched projects aimed at helping locals through the pandemic.

The Coming Influenza Pandemic?: January 21--Has Human-to-Human begun in Vietnam?The Coming Influenza Pandemic?: January 21--Has Human-to-Human begun in Vietnam?
Is there anything we can do to avoid this course? The answer is a qualified yes that depends on how everyone, from world leaders to local elected officials, decides to respond. We need bold and timely leadership at the highest levels of the governments in the developed world; these governments must recognize the economic, security, and health threats posed by the next influenza pandemic and invest accordingly. The resources needed must be considered in the light of the eventual costs of failing to invest in such an effort. The loss of human life even in a mild pandemic will be devastating, and the cost of a world economy in shambles for several years can only be imagined. ...
